MATCHA HEALTH BENEFITS,
ACCORDING TO SCIENCE
Matcha, often called a “superfood,” is packed with vitamins and antioxidants, like catechins and L-theanine, offering numerous health and beauty benefits.
Anti-Aging: The catechins, vitamin C, and vitamin E in matcha can promote skin health and combat signs of aging.
Weight Loss: Catechins, saponins, and caffeine may contribute to weight loss by boosting metabolism, stabilizing blood sugar, and inhibiting fat and carbohydrate absorption.
Stress Reduction: Theanine is known for its relaxing and mood-boosting properties.
Disease Prevention: The antioxidant properties of catechins help prevent disease by eliminating free radicals. Vitamins C and E enhance immunity and protect against viral infections.
Cognitive Function: The combination of theanine and caffeine in matcha may enhance mental clarity, concentration, and focus, potentially reducing the risk of cognitive decline.

MANUFACTURING
Central to Midori Tea's unique matcha flavor profile is the meticulous shade-growing method employed by the tea farm in Kagoshima. This method relies on the natural cover of mist and light-blocking canopies, which not only preserves the vibrant green color, delicate flavors, and nutrients, but also enhances its distinct fragrant aroma and umami taste qualities.
HIGH-GRADE VERSUS STANDARD MATCHA
Did you know that not all matcha is created equal? High-grade matcha, like ours, is crafted using only first-harvest leaves and traditional stone-ground milling. This process yields the highest-quality, vibrant green matcha with delicate flavors and a wealth of nutrients. Standard ceremonial-grade matcha, on the other hand, often uses second-harvest leaves and mechanical grinding.
