A single serving of Green Foods Matcha Green Tea contains 10
to 15 times the overall nutrients and 100 times more antioxidants
compared to traditional green, white, black, rooibos and yerba mate
teas. Green Foods Matcha Green Tea is exceptionally potent
because of the tea's full potential by using the entire leaf. When
tea is brewed, the water is only able to extract a small fraction
of the nutrients while the rest remain in the leaves.
Green Foods Matcha Green Tea provides an ORAC of 1,774 units in one
single serving. As a result, daily consumption of Green Foods
Matcha Green Tea may help to strengthen the immune system by safely
protecting against free radicals and terminating their damaging
effects. Out of the many antioxidants found in Green Foods Matcha
Green Tea, there is a special class known as catechins. Within
those catechins, there is the powerful and most abundant, EGCG,
only found in green tea. EGCG may have therapeutic benefits in
treating many disorders. ORAC is a measurement accepted by the USDA
for measuring antioxidant capacity of foods. The higher the ORAC
value, the more capable that food is of fighting free radicals and
diseases and slowing the aging process.
L-Theanine
Buddhist monks
have enjoyed the relaxation properties of matcha for many years and
continue to use it for meditating. Green Foods Matcha Green Tea
contains high concentrations of L-theanine, an amino acid known to
help relax the mind, improve cognition and mood while reducing
physical and mental stress.
Chlorophyll
Green
Foods' special processing of the matcha plants provides the
leaves with high levels of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a powerful
detoxifier that helps eliminate toxins, chemicals and heavy metals
from the body.
Special Processing
Green
Foods Matcha Green Tea is exclusively grown in Japan by local
farmers who cultivate it by traditional methods used for over 800
years. Weeks prior to harvest, farmers cover the plants to protect
them from sunlight. This important step helps to increase the
chlorophyll levels and turns the leaves dark green. Once it is time
to harvest, farmers gently pick the leaves, entirely by hand, and
sort them by grade. Ceremonial grade is the highest grade; only the
youngest and highest quality leaves are chosen. After sorting, all
of the coarse fibers and stems are removed to prepare the leaves
for grinding. Green Foods Matcha Green Tea leaves are ground
on a stone mill which produces a uniquely shaped powder molecule
and contributes to the mild and smooth taste of our product.
Mix 2 teaspoons (5g) in 6 oz. of cold or hot water to enjoy a
delicious and nutritious beverage. Be creative - make your own
matcha latte, smoothie, iced tea, ice cream or pudding.
