Matcha, a special kind of Japanese green tea, has been enjoyed by the country’s citizens for centuries. Beginning as a medicinal beverage in China during the Tang dynasty, its origins can be traced all the way back to the present day. Eventually, Buddhist monks transported it to Japan, where they incorporated it into their meditation practices and as a form of alternative medicine. Matcha is made by shading tea plants for a few weeks prior to harvest, which boosts the plant’s ability to produce chlorophyll and amino acids. After the leaves are picked, they are dried and then ground into a powder that will be used to brew the tea.

Matcha has been confirmed to have a wide variety of beneficial chemicals, according to scientific studies. Caffeine is one such chemical that has the ability to increase energy and sharpen mental performance. L-theanine, an amino acid found in matcha, has been shown to provide calming and stress-reducing effects. Caffeine and L-theanine work synergistically to promote alertness and concentration without causing the jitters that some people experience when drinking coffee.
