Matcha and green tea both come from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis. However, they differ in their cultivation, processing, appearance and preparation.

In recent years Matcha Green Tea has become increasingly highlighted all over the world as a health beverage since its disease preventing and health promoting effects have been widely reported.
There are many substances in tea that are good for the body and below we will introduce a few of them.
Catechines
Have antioxidant and antimutagenic effects.
Prevent starch from being metabolised, restricts the absorption of glucose, keeps the blood pressure low and thereby help to prevent obesity.
Have a sterilizing effect on bacteria that causes foof poisoning such as O-157 or cholera bacteria. It also kills harmful bacteria in the intestines and increases the good bacteria such as Lactobacillus.
Lower the level of bad cholesterol (LDL).
Rinsing one's mouth with Japanese Green Tea (including Matcha Green Tea) after meals kills harmful bacteria and thus prevents cavity.
Theanine
Eases the effects of caffeine.
Affects the brain cells and gives a relaxing and healing effect.
Caffeine
Relives fatigue, has an awakening effect and acts as a diuretic
Helps to burn fat, and reduces the intoxication effect from over consumption of alcohol.
Promotes blood circulation.
Vitamin C
Acts as an antioxidant, improves immunity, relives fatigue, prevents colds and makes the skin beautiful.
Since the catechin in tea protects Vitamin C it becomes strong against heat, and 5 cups of Japanese Green Tea contain as much as 100g of lemon juice (50mg Vitamin C).
Minerals
Minerals are important for metabolic efficiency.
Apart from potassium, which eases the effects of excess salt consumption, tea also contains calcium, magnesium, iron and other minerals.
Saponin
Has antidiabetic effects, relieves fatigue, increases vitality, prevents blood clot formation and has many other positive effects.
Water-insoluble components
β-carotene, Vitamin E, Chlorophyl, protein, dietary fiber etc.
By consuming Matcha Green Tea, one is able to completely absorb all components found in tea!
Have you ever felt that Japanese Green Tea is bitter or astringent and therefore hard to appreciate? Japanese Green Tea contains catechins, a group of polyphenols that give tea a bitter and astringent taste.
There is also caffeine, which is a bitter substance and all these cause the tea to appear bitter and astringent.
Although catechin has these properties, it is also noted for its preventive effects on lifestyle related diseases and for numerous other health benefits.
