Matcha Powder, Zdravna Akademia, 100 g

Matcha is a finely ground green tea with deep roots in the Japanese tea ceremony. It is made from specially grown Camellia sinensis leaves, which are shaded for 3–4 weeks before harvest. This process increases the content of chlorophyll, amino acids, and antioxidants, giving Matcha its vibrant green color and unique flavor. After harvesting, the leaves are dried, the stems and veins are removed, and they are stone-ground into a silky fine powder.

Health Benefits:

Matcha is more than just tea - it’s a superfood with an impressive nutritional profile and a wide range of health benefits:

Powerful Antioxidant
Rich in catechins, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which help fight free radicals and support cellular health.

Natural Energy Source
Contains caffeine that provides a smooth, sustained energy release without the crash often associated with coffee.

Enhances Focus and Calm
Thanks to the amino acid L-theanine, Matcha promotes brain activity while reducing stress, creating a sense of focus and balance.

Detoxifying Effect
Its high chlorophyll content helps cleanse the body of toxins and heavy metals.

Supports Metabolism
May help boost metabolism and fat oxidation, making it a valuable ally in healthy weight management.
