With coffee becoming a mainstay in our morning routines, why not swap it for a healthier beverage by opting for matcha tea? Let’s talk about this beverage that could be your go-to choice for sustained energy and overall well-being.
What is matcha?
Matcha is a finely ground green tea that has its roots in China. Matcha tea later became a popular drink in Japan, particularly used during tea ceremonies, a symbol of refinement and spirituality.
Today it is appreciated worldwide for its unique taste and health benefits.
What is the difference between coffee and matcha tea?
Coffee is composed of caffeine which is a natural stimulant. This molecule acts on the nervous system by blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleep.
When you drink coffee, you will therefore tend to have more than one drink, this is because coffee releases caffeine quickly and energy peaks are followed by fatigue peaks.
A cup of coffee contains between 80 and 120 mg of caffeine on average. In comparison, a cup of matcha tea would contain between 30 and 70 mg of theine (theine being the same molecule as caffeine but acting differently in our body).
Matcha tea is composed of theine, a combination of tannins which will have a stimulating effect in the long term, giving you energy for the whole day if you drink it at the start of the day.
What is the flavor of matcha tea?
Matcha tea has a unique flavor that sets it apart from other types of tea.
It would be described as a vegetal aroma due to its richness in chlorophyll, with a slightly sweet note thanks to the high content of amino acids (in particular L-theanine).
Finally, due to its preparation in the form of fine powder, matcha tea offers a creamy and velvety texture.
What are the benefits of matcha tea that you will get?
Matcha leaves, a true “superfood”, have multiple benefits for your health:
boost your energy :
Matcha contains theine which releases stable and prolonged energy: this allows you to avoid energy peaks and drops during the day.
optimize your concentration :
Matcha tea is rich in L-theanine, which helps with focus, memory and mental clarity.
Boost your health with antioxidants :
Matcha is exceptionally rich in catechins, antioxidants that fight cellular aging, promote glowing skin and strengthen the immune system.
Boost your metabolism :
Incorporating matcha into your routine boosts your metabolism and increases fat burning.
Detoxify your body :
The chlorophyll in matcha makes it a powerful natural detoxifier, helping your body eliminate toxins, leaving you feeling revitalized.
