Servings:
- Serving size: 1 level tsp or 2 bamboo scoops = about 2 grams (adjust to suit your need). *Double the serving for stronger taste.
- *Note - If you have a sweet tooth, you might not like the grassy note in pure matcha with just water, add honey or your favorite sweetener to taste.
- Uji Premium and Uji Reserve require less sweetener to be sweetened.
Health Benefits and Amount per Serving of 2 Grams:
- Catechins: ~240mg (includes 120mg EGCG), a powerful antioxidant.
- L-Theanine: ~30mg, a precious amino acid almost unique to matcha. It increases mental calmness and focus across a few hours. Higher in Uji Premium and Uji Reserve.
- Caffeine: ~60mg ( = ~2/3 of an 8 oz cup of coffee). Improves alertness and energy level.
- The unique combination of caffeine and theanine may have the effect of making you feel alert and calm at the same time without jitter and sustaining the mental focus without a crash. Studies show its effects on improving mental clarity and cognitive performance.
Tools Needed:
- Bottle
- Matcha Spoon (Chashaku) or Tea Spoon
