Matcha is a green tea powder. It comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. However, it is grown differently. To increase chlorophyll production, the farms will cover the tea plants for 20-30 days before harvest. This will increase the amino acid content, and it also gives the plant a dark green hue.
Matcha tea comes from the leaves being ground into a fine powder, which increases caffeine and antioxidants.
Matcha tea has been shown to help protect the liver, promote heart health, and aid in weight loss in studies that were conducted.
