Anti-Aging
Matcha green tea is rapidly gaining more popularity throughout the world because of its ability to combat inflammation, oxidation and aging due to its high amount of antioxidants.
Mind-and-Body Aligner
Matcha is rich in L-Theanine, a rare amino acid that stimulates the alpha waves in the brain and promotes a state of relaxation and well-being.
