One amino acid in Matcha, L-theanine, promotes calming effects on the brain without causing drowsiness. Additionally, Matcha’s polyphenols have antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, which may aid in preventing infections and support oral health by combating bacteria linked to gum disease.
Matcha also provides trace minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, and zinc.
How Much Matcha Should You Drink?
There are no strict guidelines, but most people consume 1 to 2 cups per day. Each cup of Matcha offers the benefits of multiple cups of regular green tea.
Since it includes the entire leaf, overconsumption could strain the liver, so moderation is key, particularly for those with caffeine sensitivity or pre-existing health conditions.
How to Make Matcha
Matcha can be prepared in a few ways:
Traditional Style: Sift 1–2 teaspoons of Matcha into a bowl, add hot water, and whisk with a bamboo whisk until frothy. Drink directly from the bowl.
Matcha Latte: Mix Matcha powder with a little water to form a paste, then add warm (or cold) milk and sweetener.
Simple Cup Method: Stir Matcha with hot water directly in a cup, optionally adding a sweetener.
Health Benefits of Matcha Tea
