There’s already been so much written about the benefits of green tea, from stress relief to weight
loss yet very few people take advantage of warm mug of tea. Maybe it is the perceived bitter taste
of green tea, some have called it ‘yucky’ while others find the mild flavor soothing and delicious, or
maybe it is because of the amount of green tea you’d have to drink to get the full benefits. It could
just be that the popularity of green tea is causing skeptics to wonder if the green tea products they
see in the market are made from actual green tea.
Let’s just state for the record that if you are hoping to reap green tea benefits by scarfing down a
store bought green tea Kit Kat, cheesecake or green tea macadamia cookies, don’t be surprised if
you don’t feel calmer, healthier or slimmer.
As with all things health and science related, there is something better on the market called
matcha green tea. Think of this as super green tea, not because it is a super-charged version of
regular green tea but because it allows us green tea lovers to reap the rewards in a wider variety of
ways.
Matcha…What Is It?
Matcha is green tea from the Camellia sinensis, but it a very fine powder version of the healthy
drink. Unlike other teas derived from Camellia sinensis, matcha has not been fermented. Matcha,
like other varieties of green tea, can be harvested from anywhere in the world.
Now you know the difference between regular old green tea and matcha, let’s talk about why you
should be making matcha part of your diet.
The reason matcha is slowly edging out traditional green tea in terms of health benefits is because
those who ingest matcha are consuming the entire leaf rather than brewed water. One glass of
matcha green tea is equal to 10 glasses of regular green tea as far as antioxidants and nutrients.
In fact, a 2003 study published in the Journal of Chromatography A found matcha has 137 times
more of the powerful antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) than other types of green tea.
EGCG has been proven effective in the fight against many forms of cancer, HIV, heart disease and
a host of other illnesses and diseases.
Fat Burning. You’ll see more and more people skipping coffee or black tea for their afternoon
pick me up thanks to the study that found matcha green tea has unique thermogenic properties
that nearly quadruple fat burning. Imagine burning as much as 40% more calories simply by
adding matcha green tea to your diet! Drink a cup before your daily workout and you’ll increase
fat burning by 25%.
Pick Me Up. Another reason many people are forsaking their daily cup of java? It turns out that
matcha green tea provides a significant energy boost while also providing far less caffeine per cup
than coffee. You can enjoy up to 6 hours of clean energy without jitters, nausea and the dreaded
caffeine crash associated with highly caffeinated beverages.
Chill Out. You know that regular green tea is advised to those suffering from anxiety or
insomnia, but did you know that matcha was originally used to help Buddhist monks during
periods of intense meditation? Matcha contains much more L-Theanine, an amino acid that
promotes relaxation and well-being within the brain, than other green or black teas.
Best Of All…
Let’s face it, not everyone is a tea drinker. Some don’t enjoy the slightly bitter taste and some just
can’t get past the minimal amounts of caffeine found in tea. With matcha green tea you don’t have
to be Sebastian Beckwith to truly appreciate not only the benefits of matcha, but also the many
ways in which you can infuse your food with matcha.
Because matcha is a very finely ground powder it can be used in many culinary endeavors that
don’t require the skilled hands of a gourmet chef.
In your own kitchen however, you can add matcha green tea powder to homemade pasta,
brownies, rolls & breads and cakes just to name a few items. Thanks to the fine ground
consistency matcha is easy to add to just about everything in the kitchen…just make sure your
measurements are right because matcha isn’t your average $0.99 tea bag!
But before you go dumping tablespoons of matcha into mashed potatoes and vinaigrettes, enjoy
a few cups of hot tea so you can understand the flavor profile. This will help you implement our
recipes as well as create your own to wow your friends with your green tea prowess!
