The pea green powder is packed with nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants that have a natural cleansing effect and are said to counteract the body's aging and stimulate metabolism.
Matcha means “ground tea” and that is exactly what it is, stone-ground green tea and has been part of the Japanese tea tradition for centuries. The tea powder is whisked into hot water and unlike regular green tea where you only drink the tea water itself, you get the tea leaves in their entirety. And thus also more of the benefits. One cup of matcha tea is nutritionally equivalent to up to 12 cups of regular green tea.
The taste is reminiscent of fresh rose hips, others think it's reminiscent of spinach and some think it's reminiscent of spirulina. In addition to drinking it as tea, you can use the powder in smoothies, ice cream and cakes.
