The Powerful Effects & Health Benefits of Matcha

Jimmy Galaxy Ceremonial Grade Matcha & cupIt’s green. It’s energizing. It’s heralded as a superfood powerhouse for a reason: Matcha is in and if you haven’t tried it yet, you are missing out…

This vibrant elixir has taken the center stage in many health and wellness trends over the past decade. With the desire for coffee alternatives on the rise and the longing for mindful daily rituals, no other beverage compares to ceremonial grade matcha. 

Although matcha has only recently gained its much deserved popularity in the Western world, it has played an integral role in Japanese culture for centuries. This finely ground tea leaf powder is deeply appreciated for its ceremonial significance and astounding health benefits.

Now, let’s uncover the powerful effects & health benefits of matcha-

1. Natural, Sustaining Energy

You may be wondering, does matcha have caffeine? 

The answer: yes! A quality matcha powder has an average of 35 mg of caffeine per gram, or 70 mg per serving. 

Despite matcha having less caffeine than a cup of coffee, it effectively promotes a sustained energy boost minus the jitters or energy crash. How is this possible? The costar here is L-theanine, an amino that aids relaxation and lowers blood pressure, which helps to counterbalance the stimulating effects of caffeine. Paired together, these two offer a smooth, gradual increase in energy levels. Bazinga!

2. Encourages Mindfulness 

What’s the rush, man?

The ceremonial nature of matcha, as cherished by ancient Eastern culture, encourages one to slow down and immerse themselves in something meaningful. Preparing and consuming matcha promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and connection. Each step must be carefully taken; rushing is not an acceptable practice. Brewing matcha is an art, and art takes time!

In a world that is fast-paced and filled with stress, we can easily get lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Therefore, these slow and thoughtful moments can make an incredible impact on our wellbeing.

The significance of matcha transcends the mere consumption of a beverage; rather, it serves as means of appreciation for the present moment. 

3. Packed with Antioxidants 

Matcha not only energizes, it revitalizes!

It all starts with the way matcha is harvested. With ceremonial grade matcha, every leaf is hand-picked and stone-ground. Only the best quality leaves are picked to ensure the integrity of this tea delicacy. By utilizing the entire leaf, its nutritional potency is maximized. 

Matcha is rich in catechins, otherwise known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This compound is believed to fight free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Another key factor in disease prevention are the alkalizing properties found in matcha. These properties help to balance the body’s pH levels and reduce inflammation.

Micronutrients found in Matcha to support overall health:

  • Vitamin C & Vitamin A
  • Iron
  • Fiber
  • Chlorophyll
  • Potassium

Studies show that matcha contains a significantly higher level of antioxidants than other green teas. If there was ever a time to swap your bagged tea with this magical ingredient, the time is now. Each sip of matcha truly embodies vitality!

Finding the Right Matcha

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty.

The grade of your matcha can make a huge impact in deriving these transformative benefits. Needless to say, you get what you pay for. 

Ceremonial grade is the highest grade on the market, following precise protocols of harvest. These protocols ensure the integrity of this fine, concentrated tea powder. With the integrity secured, you can reap all of the benefits at maximum potency!
