Drinks to Take Your Matcha Tea to the Next Level

Matcha green tea powder infuses antioxidants into these healthy energy drinks.

A long standing tradition of Japanese culture, Matcha Green Tea is the highest quality powdered green tea available. Made from the nutrient-rich young leaves picked from the tips of shade-grown Camellia sinensis plants, Matcha Green Tea is steamed, stemmed, and de-vined before being stone-ground into very fine powder. Matcha Green Tea powder is then stored away from light and oxygen in order to preserve its brilliant green color and antioxidant properties. This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market today.

Matcha, made of powdered green tea leaves, is the superhero version of regular green tea. It’s extremely high in antioxidants and can amp up your metabolism. Plus, the amino acid l-theanine has a calming effect. White recommends swapping one of your usual caffeinated drinks for pure matcha tea (matcha has some caffeine, but less than coffee) or adding a few teaspoons of the powder to your a.m. smoothie. These drinks recipes take it up a notch.
