Matcha is a fine green tea powder used for drinking or cooking. It is different from loose leaf teas because the whole tea leaf is consumed instead of just the infusion. Matcha comes from the plant Camellia Sinensis. Only authentic Matcha is made from tencha leaves (shade grown). To learn more about the production process please click here.

• Increase in energy - Matcha is an energy booster due to the combination of caffeine content and other natural properties.
• Reduce stress and improve mental alertness - Matcha has an abundance of the unique Amino Acid L-Theanine. Matcha may contain up to five times more of L-Theanine than the common green teas. L-Theanine creates alpha waves in the brain to promote relaxation and alertness.
• Improve metabolism and help with weight loss - Matcha is close to zero calories and helps burn calories four times faster than average. Matcha also lowers cholesterol and blood sugar and does not raise insulin levels.
• Boost immune system and reduce inflammation - Matcha has the highest rated ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) compared to many fruits and vegetables. Matcha also contains a specific Catechin called Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCg). EGCg is most widely recognized for its cancer fighting properties. Research has found that Matcha contains over 100 times more EGCg than any other tea on the market.
• Help the body cleanse of harmful elements - When the tea leaves have shaded sunlight, this causes a tremendous increase in chlorophyll production. The resulting high levels of chlorophyll in Matcha acts as a powerful detox machine capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.

A cup of Matcha (using 1g of Matcha powder) has 35mg of caffeine compared to a cup of coffee sitting at 95-200mg of caffeine. Since Matcha contains L-Theanine, drinking Matcha has a calming and relaxing effect.

The L-theanine content will always vary batch to batch since it is natural and grown in a natural environment. 

Ceremonial Matcha will usually have a higher L-theanine content than culinary Matcha due to the different harvest times. Younger tea leaves from the 1st harvest have more L-theanine. 

Please see below as a general guideline (based on 1 gram of Matcha):

Reserve Wumi Matcha has approximately 18mg+ of L-theanine

Premium Wumi Matcha has approximately 17mg (+ or -) of L-theanine

Daily Matcha has approximately 14.26mg (+ or -) of L-theanine
