Nature’s Superfoods Matcha is NOT your typical green tea. Although they come from the same plant Camellia sinensis, Matcha contains much more nutrients than the typical green tea (1 cup of Matcha tea is equivalent to 10-15 cups of typical green tea). Matcha is both a stimulant and a relaxant, providing 4-6 hours of steady energy.
MATCHA:Our Ceremonial Matcha Powder, premium top grade, comes from the beautiful mountains of the Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan, and is made from first-flush tea leaves (the year's first harvest of young, tender leaves that has the most nutrients and antioxidants). First-flush tea leaves are the finest with 3 times higher amounts of L-theanine amino acid as compared to second-flush tea leaves which are harvested later. L-Theanine helps to relax the mind, reduce anxiety and stress. Combined with the natural caffeine content in matcha, L-Theanine induces a calmer, yet more alert, state of mind without the crash and jitters of caffeine. First-flush Matcha tastes good with very little bitterness, and it is the most nutrient-dense as compared to other lower-grade Matchas. Matcha also contains chlorophyll which helps in detoxification. Additionally, Matcha tea also provides substantial quantities of potassium, vitamin A & C, iron, protein and calcium!
Not all Matcha teas are the same. Ceremonial-grade Matcha is hard to find, and is the highest quality Matcha that is used mainly in Japanese tea ceremonies. It is characterized by the subtle tones of “Umami” (plant sweetness), with almost no bitterness. Taken on its own (with just warm water), Matcha does not need added sweetener nor dairy products to make it palatable.
Certified organic matcha powders often don't have the vibrant green colour that a high grade non-organic matcha can have, and are often slightly duller in colour. This is due to the fertilizers used while the tea leaves are shade grown. Shade-grown matcha doesn't get its energy from the sun; hence, it is given extra fertilizers to enhance the levels of chlorophyll, and gives matcha its beautiful jade green colour.
When the matcha is grown organically, it is given organic fertilizers which lack the “instant energizing effect” of chemical non-organic fertilizers, and this slows down the rate at which the organic matcha plant gets its nutrients. Consequently, this leads to a slight change of flavor and color of the finished matcha product. If you choose organic and clean, the slightly altered color and flavor would be a small price to pay for the purity of organic matcha powder, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Chemical pesticides not only harm the environment, they carry health risks too according to research.
Additional steps have been taken to ensure that our Matcha Powder is one that you can trust. Nature's Superfoods Matcha Powder has been lab-tested for contaminants like heavy metals and radiation.
