Matcha

What is super about this "superfood"?

Matcha has been around for centuries.

In Japan powerful rulers and warriors drank matcha together as a way to improve relationships.

Now people gather in cafes and coffee shops to drink this tasty tea.

Matcha is a type of green tea with its own distinct flavour.

That is because matcha is made by grinding the entire tea leaf into a powder.

This powder is mixed into hot - not boiling - water to create a relaxing drink.

Matcha has become very popular in recent years due to its many health benefits.

Some people even call it a "superfood," for good reason.

Matcha can help your immune system, so you get sick less often.

It also contains cancer-fighting properties.

In addition matcha can help balance blood sugar levels and assist with weight loss.

Matcha is traditionally known for helping people to be both relaxed and alert.

If you are trying to avoid caffeine, however , be careful.

Matcha may help you relax, but it also contains more caffeine than regular green tea.
