Everything you need to know about matcha tea

RAW Nutritional has just released a brand new product: Pure Organic Matcha Tea! This product, increasingly popular, may still seem unknown to some people. This article will enlighten you on this mysterious green powder!

What is matcha?

It is a Japanese tea that is finely ground into a green powder.

What are its benefits?

Its popularity increases over the years, and it is very justified! Its virtues are multiple and even exceed those of traditional green tea. Matcha is a perfect substitute for coffee while avoiding some of the negative effects of this one. It allows a longer stimulation than coffee and therefore provides longer energy during the day.

Matcha contains an impressive amount of catechins, a very powerful antioxidant.

In addition, this tea is rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that helps reduce stress and provides a calm sensation.

How to use it?

The most popular way to drink matcha is in a hot beverage. Whether it's just in hot water or in a latte, matcha powder mixes perfectly into any liquid. It is also possible to drink it in a cold drink, such as an iced latte or in a smoothie!

You can also add it to your yogurts, oatmeal, energy balls, smoothie bowl, or even your favorite desserts (cookies, muffins, cakes, etc.)!

By using this product, you ensure that you are consuming quality food. Organic and GMO-free, this matcha tea contains no herbicides or pesticides. Plus, it's soy, dairy, and gluten-free!

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the matcha taste (I don't like green tea in general). However, mixed in a dessert, its taste becomes light and delicious. I must also admit that all of its benefits make me want to integrate this tea more into my daily life!
