Introduction

A Japanese superfood powder made from finely ground green tea leaves. Matcha has been used in tea ceremonies since the 12th century, and is now a global obsession thanks to its incredible benefits for the body and mind. Research shows that this nutrient-rich tea can reduce the risk of cancer, improve heart health, enhance brain function, aid recovery from exercise and help prevent the effects of ageing.
