Matcha Coconut Cooler

Often times we hear that Matcha requires tedious preparation and exotic Japanese teaware to make a good cup. While it is true that mastering the art of tea preparation and learning Tea Ceremony (be it Japanese Chado or Chinese Gongfucha) takes years of knowledge and practice, when it comes to preparing Matcha at home, you can improvise with what you have.

Matcha Benefits

There are many studies and known benefits of Matcha. This is because Matcha contains the nutrients from the entire leaf, which results in greater amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants are the body’s defense agents. They are chemical compounds that prevent aging and chronic diseases.

  • Matcha contains concentrated amounts of antioxidants. It ranks 1573units per gram in ORAC (Oxygen radical absorbance capacity) rating, compared to Pomegranate (105) and Blueberries (93).
  • 1 Cup of Matcha has many antioxidants as 10 cups of Brewed Green Tea
  • It is rich in chlorophyll, fiber and vitamins
  • It contains a compound called L-theanine, promoting a steady, calm alertness.
  • It enhances mood and aids in concentration.
  • Matcha is high in EGCG, a type of catechin known to have anti-cancer properties. Studies have proven that it also slows and inhibits cancer growth.
  • Boosts metabolism and burns calories
