Matcha Powder

Matcha, the powder form obtained by grinding the green tea leaves from which it is obtained, is a widely used drink, especially in Japan. Matcha, unlike other types of green tea, is obtained by growing the leaves in the shade and grinding them immediately after harvesting. 

This process results in an increase of chlorophyll and amino acids in the leaves, enriching the plant essence. 

Matcha can be used in a variety of dishes and drinks. It is usually mixed with hot or cold water and traditionally served frothing with a bamboo whisk. Matcha can also be used in desserts, smoothies, ice creams and various dishes. 

The flavor of matcha is more intense and sweeter than other types of green tea. In addition, matcha powder, like other types of green tea, contains beneficial components and the level of these components increases during the grinding of the leaves.

How many times a day to drink matcha powder?

Matcha powder consumption may vary depending on one's preference, health status and goals. In general, it is recommended to drink 1-2 cups of matcha tea daily.

The amount of caffeine in matcha powder is higher than in green tea, so excessive consumption may cause sleep problems or restlessness in some people. It is therefore important to control your daily caffeine intake, especially when combined with tea or other caffeinated beverages. Also, there are some situations where you should consult your doctor before consuming matcha powder. For example, matcha powder is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have low blood pressure or are taking certain medications.
