Matcha is made by grinding the best green tea leaves into a super fine powder.  Just like green tea, matcha is full of antioxidants, enzymes, and amino acids. But the benefits of matcha are multiplied by the fact you are consuming the entire leaf! When you drink matcha you ingest the entire leaf and receive 100% of the nutrients of the leaf . Matcha powdered green tea has 137 times more antioxidants than regularly brewed green tea. One cup of matcha = 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea in terms of nutritional content.
