This is ZenMatcha's "Drinking" matcha. The nutritional properties of the Drinking matcha and the premium matchas are virtually identical, with the Drinking matcha containing the same antioxidants, polyphenols, and catechins. The Drinking matcha tea is slightly less green, and a little less sweet than the premium matcha. Enjoy this exceptional quality matcha on its own, or add it to lattes, shakes, smoothies, etc.

Matcha green tea is approximately 10 times stronger than regular "steeped" green tea due to the fact that it consists of the entire tea leaf, ground to a fine 9 micron powder, and then consumed. The result is a tea super-charged with antioxidants, polyphenols, and catechins, making Matcha tea one of the healthiest natural beverages on the planet.

The immense health-giving properties of Matcha are beyond any other tea and virtually any other natural beverage on the planet. Matcha has approximately 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice and 9 times the beta carotene of spinach. Matcha literally has more antioxidant power than blueberries, making it one of the highest ORAC rated foods available today.

Perhaps the most immediately noticeable property of Matcha is its energy-boosting effect. This is due to the unique form of caffeine found in Matcha called theophylline which causes a steady release of energy over 6-8 hours. Theophylline imparts a much more natural and healthy energy ìboostî than regular coffee caffeine, without spiking blood sugar levels or stressing the adrenal glands. Matcha gives a natural, intelligent "high".

* Significantly increases energy (over 8-10 hours) without the caffeine "jitters".
* Improves mental alertness (L-theanine component).
* Increases calmness and reduces stress (L-theanine component).
* Boosts metabolic rate by 35-40% in regular drinkers, facilitating weight loss.
