Benefits of US Whole Food Matcha.
1. Antioxidants Power House
US Whole Food matcha has 137x more antioxidants than regular green tea.
Antioxidants are the magical nutrients and enzymes responsible for fighting against the negative effects of UV radiation, giving us younger-looking skin, and preventing a number of life-threatening maladies.
Antioxidants are something that all health-conscious individuals seek.
2. Loaded with Catechin, EGCg
Matcha contains a specific set of organic compounds known as catechins which is 20 times more stronger than vitamin E.
Among antioxidants, catechins are the most potent and beneficial. One specific catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) makes up 60% of the catechins in US Whole Food Matcha Green Tea.
Out of all the antioxidants, EGCg is the most widely recognized for its cancer fighting properties.
3. Enhances Calm
For over a millennium, Matcha Green Tea has been used by Chinese Daoists and Japanese Zen Buddhist monks as a means to relax and meditate while remaining alert.
We know that this higher state of consciousness is due to the amino acid L-Theanine contained in the leaves used to make Matcha.
L-Theanine promotes the production of alpha waves in the brain which induces relaxation without the inherent drowsiness caused by other “downers.”
4. Boosts Memory and Concentration
Another benefit of L-Theanine is the production of dopamine and serotonin. These two chemicals serve to enhance mood, improve memory, and promote better concentration – something that can benefit everyone!
5. Increases Energy Levels and Endurance
Samurai, the noble warriors of medieval and early-modern Japan, drank Matcha Green Tea before going into battle due to the tea’s energizing properties.
The increased endurance from a cup of US Whole Food Matcha Green Tea can last up to 6 hours and because of the effects of L-Theanine, US Whole Food Matcha drinkers experience none of the usual side-effects of stimulants such as nervousness and hypertension.

6. Burns Calories
Drinking Matcha Green Tea has also been shown to increase metabolism and help the body burn fat about four times faster than average. Unlike many diet aides currently on the market, Matcha causes no negative side-effects such as increased heart rate and high blood pressure.
7. Detoxifies the Body
During the last three weeks before tea leaves are harvested to be made into US Whole Food Matcha, Camellia sinensis are covered to deprive them of sunlight. This causes a tremendous increase in chlorophyll production in the new growth of these plants. The resulting high levels of chlorophyll in US Whole Food Matcha Green Tea not only give this tea its beautiful vibrant green color.
Matcha is also a powerful detoxifier capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.
8. Fortifies the Immune System
The catechins in Matcha Green Tea have been shown to have antibiotic properties which promote overall health. Just one cup of Matcha Green Tea provides substantial quantities of Potassium, Vitamins A & C, Iron, Protein, and Calcium.
9. Improves Cholesterol
Researchers aren’t entirely certain how Matcha Green Tea has such a positive effect on cholesterol, however studies of different populations have shown that people who drink Match Green Tea on a regular basis have lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while at the same time displaying higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Men who drink Matcha Green Tea are about 11% less likely to develop heart disease than those who don’t drink Matcha.
However, there is no scientific proof or study which has been evaluated by any health organization like FDA.
10. Amazing Flavor
Unlike a lot of other teas which require sugar, milk, or lemon to make them palatable to the average consumer, Matcha is absolutely wonderful all by itself. US Whole Food Matcha is premium matcha and have crisp vegetative notes complimented by the savory taste of the L-Theanine amino acid making Matcha a tea that is truly unique in every way.
