Matcha has become a household staple, but why?
A recent 2020 study explains why matcha is so beneficial and continues to rise in usage across the world. The study results explain that matcha has levels of beneficial antioxidants, vitamin c, and flavanoids like rutin that are far above any other tea type. These powerful biological substances all work together to make matcha an amazing resource for health and daily wellness.
