Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves, originating from Japan. Famous for its vibrant green hue, matcha is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies but has gained global popularity as a nutrient-packed beverage. Made by whisking powder with hot water or milk, matcha drinks offer a rich, earthy flavor and creamy texture. Its nutritional profile stands out with high levels of antioxidants, particularly catechins, which support heart health and may protect against cellular damage. Matcha also contains L-theanine, an amino acid known to promote relaxation and focus, paired with caffeine for a balanced energy boost. However, its natural caffeine content may not suit individuals sensitive to stimulants. Often prepared with added sweeteners or dairy, the calorie content can vary, so moderation is key. A traditional matcha drink is a wholesome, uplifting choice that bridges ritual and wellness.
