Surely in recent years, you have started to hear a lot of green tea or matcha tea, many people did not know it and that is why this time we want to share with you some of the reasons why its popularity has increased so much.

Matcha tea has its origins hundreds of years ago, and until a few years ago its consumption was popular mainly in China and Japan. Since its inception, this tea began to be recognized for all the benefits it brings and people began to refine it, trying different ways to prepare it and thus discover how this tea could have a better taste. This tea is characterized because it is ground, and can also be used for the preparation of confectionery and ice cream. Its process requires the cultivation, harvesting, and drying of the green tea leaf and then grinding it to obtain the powder that we all know.

In general terms, its process is very similar to that of the apple powder, since, like this tea, its process starts in the cultivation of organic apples, we choose the best quality and then collect and dry them in an oven regulating temperatures so that do not lose their properties, we finally grind them to create the apple powder and so you can enjoy this delicious fruit for longer.

Being a completely natural drink, the benefits that matcha tea brings to our body are many. The difference between matcha tea and other common green tea is that when preparing a common green tea, the infusion has more benefits, this is because when making the infusion of a regular green tea many of the benefits remain in the leaf because we do not consume the leaf and without consuming it the benefits are reduced; on the other hand, with the matcha tea when grinding the leaf and adding it to the infusion we will be consuming the whole leaf.

Some of the benefits of matcha tea are:

• It has a large number of antioxidants. The antioxidants that the leaf has to help us to prevent many diseases, helping to delay aging and to rid the body of toxins, protect against the effects of stress and free radicals.
• Vitamin C. It contains a large amount of vitamin C, helping to strengthen the immune system and prevent diseases.
• Lowers cholesterol. Its antioxidant content helps reduce cholesterol also helps to purify the body so it helps eliminate excess cholesterol and triglycerides, helping cardiovascular health.
• Improves intestinal flora. This is due to its content in tannins that help intestinal transit.
• There are studies where it is argued that it improves memory and helps fight arthritis.
• Gives energy, because it contains a type of caffeine Tea contains a type of caffeine that helps the body feel energetic and also has the ability to increase physical resistance.
• It helps you lose weight. This is because this tea increases the metabolism of people, burning calories faster.
• Contains minerals. Some of the minerals that this tea contains are the magnesium, selenium, zinc, chromium, among others.

Its preparation is quite simple, the first thing you have to do is to heat the water but without it reaching boiling point, while the water heats up, in the cup where you want to add the tea, add one or two tablespoons of matcha powder, (sometimes a strainer is required, depending on the purity and origin of the tea), when the water is hot add slowly, use a spoonful to stir it (as if it were an instant coffee) to make the mixture and form foam thus giving an unparalleled smell and flavor.

This green tea is completely natural, but if you have a health problem it is better to ask for a doctor’s approval. This tea contains a type of caffeine so if you take too much you can suffer of an overdose of caffeine causing dizziness, insomnia, among others. We recommend checking that when you buy this tea you check that it is organic. In the case that it is not organic when consuming the leaf you could be consuming the pesticides and fertilizers that they use for their elaboration.
