High-quality matcha comes from the same plant that yields green tea, cultivated to provide superior nutritional value. This type of Japanese Green Tea used to make matcha is also the tea that you would find used in a Japanese tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, that is where the similarities end. We all know green tea leaves to be an exceptional source of antioxidants, as well as other essential vitamins and minerals. Matcha tea leaves are an even more potent source of water soluble and insoluble nutrients. 1 serving of matcha = 10 servings of regular brewed green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike green tea, matcha is made from powderized tea leaves to yield a 100 percent nutrient value. This extraordinary nutrient profile, plus a remarkably high antioxidant value, makes matcha a powerful and delicious beverage to drink by the cup. On the ORAC antioxidant scale, matcha beats out almost all of the other antioxidant \"heavyweights\" at 1348, compared to acai berries at 1027 and goji berries at a mere 33. Matcha even supersedes the long-standing antioxidant superstar, providing 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-center\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/bodyecology.com\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/Matcha-Chart.png\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe distinct difference between green tea and matcha is in three phytochemicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChlorophyll\u003c\/strong\u003e is the green pigment in plant leaves.

Matcha is highly concentrated, nutritious, and caffeinated, while still being nearly free from calories. Matcha does not place unnecessary stress on the body by raising blood pressure or heart rate and, as a result, will not spike cortisol or blood sugar levels. Because matcha helps to energize while keeping the body's systems in balance, it has the potential to reduce sudden or frequent food cravings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect Balance: Mind, Body, \u0026amp; Taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUjido knows that to get green tea leaves with a sweet and full-bodied taste, you need the perfect balance of fertile soil coupled with foggy evenings that protect against frost. Uji — a city located on outskirts of Kyoto, Japan — has this balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo cultivate purity and quality in flavor, Ujido tea leaf processing is quite simple. Ujido tea leaves are covered for four weeks before plucking. This painstaking process allows the levels of chlorophyll and L-theanine in each tea leaf to fully blossom. Once Ujido tea leaves are ready for harvest in early spring, only the smallest and youngest leaves are hand-plucked and carefully dried. Ujido keeps its matcha processing \"all in the family,\" using the same careful extraction process that has been passed down since 1832.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final step in creating this balanced brew is grinding the leaves into a fine, bright green powder. Matcha lovers describe the drink as the \"sweet spot\" between coffee and tea, and it is also the beverage Buddhist monks used thousands of years ago to maintain an attitude of relaxed alertness during meditation. Likened to the boost from a cup of coffee without the jitters, plus powerful antioxidant benefits that rate higher than regular green tea, matcha is a uniquely healthy drink all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its health benefits, matcha remains a popular drink because of its versatility. The easy-to-make and even easier-to-drink superfood powder can be added to pancakes, popsicles, fudge, or baked goods, along with drinks like smoothies and lattes. With each scoop, you'll be tapping into the relaxation and vitality of an ancient Japanese ritual that has been handed down through generations. In that moment, you are relaxed, focused, and at peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the Buddhist monk, teacher, poet, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh explains, \"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves — slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMatcha contains caffeine.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
