Green tea powder
Green tea powder, also known as matcha, is a finely ground powder made from shade-grown green tea leaves. This traditional Japanese tea has gained popularity worldwide for its vibrant color, rich flavor, and potential health benefits. Matcha is made by grinding the entire tea leaf into a powder, which retains more nutrients compared to steeped green tea.
Green tea powder is known for its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins, which have been linked to various health benefits. Matcha is also rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that can have calming effects and may enhance focus and concentration. Due to its versatility, green tea powder is not only used to make tea but also added to a variety of recipes, including smoothies, desserts, and savory dishes, to add a unique flavor and vibrant green color.
