Matcha was originally used for the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. During the 16th century, the tea ceremony, “the way of tea,” was established and became popular among the privileged class, such as Zen monks and Samurai warriors. The host and guests valued harmonious tranquility derived from refined simplicity. Matcha provided a feeling of restrained beauty, or “Calm Alertness”. Modern science has revealed the calm alertness they enjoyed comes from a good balance of Caffeine and L-theanine in Matcha. Grown in shade, Matcha has more Caffeine and more L-theanine, which is a natural relaxant, than any other type of green tea. In busy modern days, Matcha creates the tranquil sanctuary for you to restore vigor without jitters. Matcha gives you more Antioxidants than steeped tea, because you consume all the tea leaf in fine powder form.
