Matcha Tea Benefits

Matcha, the bright green powder that has fascinated Japanese culture for centuries, has become very popular and sought after in many cultures.

Matcha tea history

In Japanese,“cha” means tea, and “ma” means powder, thus the word Matcha translates literally as "powdered green tea". It is believed that the very first green tea seeds were brought to Japan from China by the Zen Monk Eisai in 1191 A.D., who planted them on the temple grounds in Kyoto. Eisai, who introduced the Zen philosophy to Japan, was the first person to grind and consume green tea leaves in powdered form. In that way, Zen and Matcha became inextricably bound together, in the form of the exquisite Japanese tea ceremony.

The tea ceremony celebrates the profound beauty of simple things; the extraordinary in the ordinary, and is intended to bring all participants into the here and now. The drinking of Matcha tea as the focal point of the tea ceremony was a perfect choice, as Matcha stimulates presence of mind, mental alertness, and produces a calm, meditative state simultaneously.

Matcha tea benefits

These profound physiological benefits of Matcha intuited by the wise sages of Japan are now being proven by modern science, as more and more groundbreaking studies on the health benefits of green tea are published. The Matcha that comes from the powdered leaves of green tea is a powerful drink; it is 10 times more powerful than normal green tea!

So why the fascination with it? Very simple, its benefits are impressive and captivating: Matcha has above all, antioxidant properties surpassing any other source that you can think of. In addition to this, it helps fighting against cancer, diabetes and reduces cholesterol levels. It also reduces fat, strengthens the immune system, protects the intestinal flora and detoxifies the body.
