Matcha Facts
Green gold
Matcha is considered the most exquisite and rare tea variety in Japan. Matcha is rich in many valuable ingredients. More than 800 years ago, the tea originated as a meditation drink for Buddhist monks. Today, Matcha has also arrived in European cafés as a super healthy trendy drink.
Matcha is a finely powdered green tea made from high-quality "Tencha" leaves. The long shading period before harvesting creates valuable amino acids, including L-theanine. These amino acids have a calming effect and lend a gentle note to the invigorating character of the tea's caffeine.
Due to the lack of light before harvesting, the plants also produce more chlorophyll and amino acids, which give Matcha its pleasant sweetness.
After harvesting, the leaves are gently dried and then slowly and without heat ground into fine matcha powder in traditionally crafted granite stone mills. This way, the matcha does not lose its valuable ingredients and is always consumed as a "whole tea leaf" in powder form.
This also ensures that all the ingredients contained in the tea leaf are absorbed by the body. This makes a crucial difference in its effect compared to other types of tea.
Our main raw material is premium Matcha powder from certified organic cultivation and comes from the renowned Matcha growing regions of Uji (Kyoto Prefecture) and Kagoshima (Kyushu Prefecture).
Our supplier carries out quality checks at very short intervals, which can be viewed at any time. This way, contamination of the Matcha tea in our products can be ruled out.
Superfood Matcha
Matcha is also packed with vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C, E, and calcium. But above all, the amino acid L-theanine and antioxidants like epigallocatechin gallate make Matcha a superfood.
Matcha has the highest known value of cell-protecting antioxidants in a natural product, making it a true fountain of youth and a star among superfoods.
For example, the antioxidant capacity of Matcha tea far exceeds that of superfoods like goji berries, pomegranates, or blueberries.
Similar-looking "copies" like ground green tea powder have hardly any noticeable effects and do not come close to having the comprehensive profile of ingredients as the original.
The amino acid L-theanine harmonizes perfectly with caffeine: with its calming properties, it mitigates the stimulating effect of caffeine, ensuring that the energy boost is gentler.
The result: a clear, alert mind and improved concentration for many hours due to the perfect balance of invigoration and relaxation.
