Turmeric Matcha Powder
Discover the Benefits of Matcha
Dating back to the 12th century, a Japanese Buddhist monk crafted this nutritious tea from ground green tea leaves. Further developing the rich nutrients of the green tea plant, the Zen Buddhist monks began growing the plants in shade which was credited with maximizing the natural nutritional properties like antioxidants and immunity boosters.
Antioxidants can help prevent or reduce the damage caused by oxidative stress, which is a process that occurs when molecules called free radicals start to build up in the body. Oxidative stress has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune diseases, so getting enough antioxidants in your diet can help protect your body from these conditions. Matcha is a great source of antioxidants!

It contains curcumin, a chemical produced naturally in turmeric which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown it may help improve brain function, lower risk of heart disease, and potentially have anti-cancer properties.
