Benefits of matcha
Tea has been considered a good medicine since ancient times, and modern research has now proven its health benefits. Matcha differs from other green teas in that the powdered tea leaves are taken directly into the body, rather than the extract, so the appeal of matcha is that you can also take in water-insoluble nutrients. Even overseas, it is attracting attention as a “superfood” along with chia seeds, acai, and quinoa.
