An ongoing tradition of Japanese culture, Matcha Green Tea (MGT) is the purest form of powdered green tea. Consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, it’s considered one of the best superfoods on the market today as a wholesome alternative to coffee, energy drinks, and other sugary beverages. Recognized for its healthy properties, Matcha Green Tea can be immensely beneficial to the body while at the same time being ultimately delicious! With ten times the benefits of plain green tea, MGT is far superior to other green teas due to its unique growing and harvesting processes. Collected from nutrient-rich leaves selected from the shady tops of the Camellia sinensis plant, MGT is first steamed, stemmed, and then de-vined before being ground into a very fine powder and stored away from light and oxygen. Due to this particular collection process, the MFT retains its vivid green color in addition to antioxidant characteristics so that when you drink a single cup of Matcha, it’s like drinking ten times the amount due to the fact that you consume the entire leaf. Hence, why the bonuses to drinking MGT are far superior.
