![]() If you compare that to what you’d get from a tea bag – one bowl of matcha is equivalent to approximately 10 cups of regular green tea. Matcha provides 3.25mg of calcium, 1.85mg of vitamin C, 20.5mg of potassium and 274mg of protein per serving amidst other vitamins and antioxidants that outnumber super foods like goji and acai berries. Additionally, the alpha brain waves increase 40 minutes after a person consumes theanine, making this a great drink for students or professionals. Controlled experiments have shown that theanine has a positive effect on the mind and improves memory by increasing dopamine levels. Theanine is known for its ability to increase alpha waves in the brain and promote calmness and alert concentration, giving matcha users a great “zen” state. Matcha plantations are shaded before harvest and this shading process boosts the levels of amino acids meaning matcha has the highest concentration of theanine. Tea is the only plant that makes the amino acid theanine. This means that matcha provides a sustainable energy boost without the rapid 30-minute spike, slump, and jitters associated with coffee. With matcha, the caffeine is absorbed and released slowly by the body over a period of 6-8 hours. Matcha does contain caffeine (around 1/10th the caffeine of a cup of coffee) but the way matcha delivers caffeine to your body is very different to coffee and energy drinks and as a result matcha helps enhance energy and concentration and the antioxidants are transforming the health of our customers! We will cover the science behind why below! Matcha and Caffeine Absorption
