Organic Matcha Powder

What Is Organic Matcha Powder？

Matcha is a type of green tea, made from the powdered leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Originally served at tea ceremonies in Japan, so-called matcha tea is now widely available and used in the food industry and in cooking.Matcha is packed with phytonutrients that bring a host of health benefits such as combating free radicals, weight loss promotion and immune system support.

Although from the same plant as green tea, matcha is grown differently and as a result has a unique nutrient profile. The plants are covered with bamboo mats during most of the growing period, which increases the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves for its characteristic bright green colour.

Matcha is made from the youngest tea leaves in which the vital energy is stored. A few weeks before the harvest, the tea bushes are covered to prevent direct sunlight – which helps them to protect valuable properties. Whenever we drink matcha, we consume the whole powdered leaves; therefore, we assimilate a lot more nutrients and benefits than from a regular tea – this means a higher concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibres.

The grades of Matcha are: Matcha A、Matcha B、Matcha C、Matcha D、Matcha E、Matcha F、Matcha G、Organic Matcha A and Organic Matcha B.

organic matcha powder benefits

• Improve Cardiovascular Health

Micronutrients are abundant in matcha, especially one known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a plant compound that can have positive health effects. Research gathered on EGCG and its impact on cardiovascular and metabolic health shows it can “exhibit a wide range of therapeutic properties including anti-atherosclerosis, anti-cardiac hypertrophy, anti-myocardial infarction, anti-diabetes, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant,” according to a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Matcha helps support the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular system—preventing plaque build-up, thickening of heart tissue, as well as other conditions such as heart attacks.

• Rich in Antioxidants

Antioxidants remove bad molecules from the body, and decrease oxidative stress. Matcha, and green teas in general, are high in substances that act as antioxidants, including catechins. “Tea also contains flavonoids, compounds reported to have antioxidant properties having many beneficial effects,” points out a study in Food Research International. “Tea flavonoids reduce inflammation, have antimicrobial effects and prevent tooth decay.”

• Arthritis Health Support

Matcha tea is one of the most-studied drinks when it comes to its benefits for arthritis patients. Green, black and white teas are all rich in polyphenols – compounds from plants that have strong anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have shown that green tea also helps preserve cartilage and bone.

Green tea has polyphenols, antioxidants believed to reduce inflammation and slow cartilage destruction. Studies also show that another antioxidant in green tea called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) blocks the production of molecules that cause joint damage in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antioxidant-rich green tea may be useful in the prevention of onset and severity of arthritis.

• Cancer-Fighting Effects

Many of the beneficial components of matcha have been researched for their anti-cancer properties. There are extensive cohort studies which examine consumption of green tea and inverse effects of gastric cancers. One such study in Cancer Causes & Control consisting of over 1,400 individuals, found consumption of green tea was associated with lower risk of stomach cancer.

Catechins and gallic acid, phytochemicals in matcha, have been used in conjunction with chemotherapy treatments, and have been researched to see if they improve efficacy of certain chemotherapy drugs.

• Spur Weight Loss

The National Institute for Health states that green tea “increases energy expenditure and fat oxidation, reduces lipogenesis and fat absorption,” and has a “possible modest effect on body weight.”

One clinical trial in Obesity followed 76 overweight individuals for four months, determining that daily consumption of a green tea beverage aids in weight loss.

What should I look for when buying matcha tea?

When purchasing matcha check that the powder is vibrant green in colour, that it has an ultra-fine silky texture and is packaged to limit exposure to air and light. You should expect to pay a little more than for other green teas because of the specialised growing conditions and manufacturing process. Your cup of matcha should be aromatic with a fresh but grassy smell and a hint of sweetness.
