1. Gentle Energy
When you drink matcha, you consume the entire tea leaf, which means the caffeine is in a more bound form. This means your body takes longer to absorb the caffeine.
This means you can enjoy a gentle boost in your energy without the abrupt surges that are common with other caffeinated beverages.

What is Matcha?
Matcha is a special type of green tea made from finely ground young tea leaves.
The special feature lies in the cultivation method: before harvesting, the tea bushes are shaded, which causes the plants to produce more chlorophyll and nutrients and gives Matcha its intense green color and rich flavor.
Unlike regular green tea, where only the infusion is drunk, with matcha you consume the whole tea leaf in powder form, which means that all of the leaf's nutrients are absorbed.

Matcha
Yes, matcha contains caffeine. However, in smaller amounts than in coffee or energy drinks. The effect begins more gently and offers a consistent supply of energy throughout the day. The L-theanine contained in matcha also promotes concentration while at the same time helping to stay relaxed.
Matcha is particularly valued for its gentle and long-lasting energy supply, without the typical highs and lows of coffee or energy drinks. Added to this are the diverse health benefits and of course the unique taste.
- The color should be bright and vibrant green. A yellowish or brownish color indicates poor quality.
- A fresh smell with a sweet note. If the matcha smells musty or very bitter, it is of lower quality.

- Other signs can include organic certification, an exceptionally fine consistency and a higher price.
