Matcha is a special type of powdered green tea that is grown and produced in Asia. The green tea leaves are shaded from the sun for the last few weeks of their growth, increasing the chlorophyll content and creating a gorgeous green color. Then, the leaves are carefully ground with stone grinding wheels to produce a fine powder. The powder can then be used to brew an antioxidant rich frothy green tea or in recipes like smoothies or baking. Unlike other types of teas, the green tea powder is not strained out before consuming, so you are consuming the entire leaf, making Matcha more potent than other tea varieties. In fact, only 1/2 tsp is needed to brew a traditional cup of Matcha...........Weight Loss --- EGCG, found in high concentrations in Matcha, has been shown to increase the rate of burning stored fat as energy, as well as decreasing the formation of new fat cells. Other studies have shown that the catechins in Matcha increase the body's rate of calorie burning each day and offered additional fat burning benefit during exercise..............................Healthy Heart --- A 2011 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that the catechins in green tea had a significant effect on lowering LDL cholesterol. A 2013 Cochrane review also showed that regular green tea consumption was associated with lower blood pressure and an decreased risk of stroke................ Ingredients ---> 1 teaspoon Matcha Powder, 1 cup (8 ounces) water at 175 degrees F........ Instructions ---> Sift the powder into the glass bowl using a fine mesh strainer or sifter. Slowly add the hot water. Whisk with the bamboo whisk in a "w" shape until frothy and well mixed. Drink immediately.
