Health benefits of traditional Japanese Matcha

Matcha provides nature’s highest source of L-theanine and catechins (polyphenols with potent antioxidant activity). The most abundant catechin present in matcha is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), delivering approximately 3 x higher EGCG content than regular steeped green tea. Research on the benefits of green tea have been primarily focused on EGCG and its suggested molecular mechanisms to activate specific cellular signalling pathways that may play major roles in good health.

• Supports sustained energy: Matcha contains 25-35 mg of caffeine (approximately 1/3 of the caffeine in coffee) and 16 mg of L-theanine per 1/2 tsp serve. This provides the optimal natural balance for energy and focus support without the caffeine jitters.
• Supports calm: L-theanine supports the increase of alpha waves which have been shown to induce a calming effect and may support improvements in mental focus and cognitive performance.
• Stress support: L-theanine supports adrenal health and supports healthy levels of stress hormone cortisol.
• Supports healthy aging: EGCG is associated with upregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway, which supports healthy skin thickness in the dermis and epidermis.
• Weight management & metabolism support: EGCG has been shown to exert a natural thermogenic effect which may support metabolic efficiency, fat burning potential, and physical endurance.
• Cardiovascular & metabolic support: Emerging evidence suggests that EGCG may support the suppression of the function of the angiotensin enzyme (ACE) and may support improvements in endothelial function and heart-related health.
• Immune system support: EGCG is a zinc ionophore, meaning that it binds to zinc helping it to cross the cell membrane. This ability allows it to support the immune function of cells.
• Supports healthy blood alkalinity: pH balance is supported via optimised chlorophyll content due to shade growing.

Smooth tasting, hand-picked organic ceremonial matcha tea

Unlike other matcha teas, Tea Lover’s Matcha is shade grown and hand-picked at the first flush of spring when the leaves are young and fresh, bursting with the nutrients green tea is famous for. After picking, the leaves are de-stemmed and slowly stone ground into an ultra fine matcha tea powder. Most matcha is machine harvested (not hand-picked) then ball crushed, or heat pulverized into powder form, leaving the tea leaves with little nutrients and bitter tasting.

Highest quality, assured

Every batch of My Matcha Life® matcha is tested for heavy metals (including lead) and radiation at a North American lab to ensure with 100% certainty that it is healthy and safe to drink.
