Health Benefits of Matcha
Matcha is loved for its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins, which can benefit overall health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and boost the immune system. It also provides a unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine, which can enhance alertness and focus without the jitteriness of other caffeinated products.
