Matcha is better than drinking regular green tea because the health benefits are increased as you are consuming the entire leaf, rather than steeping the tea and pulling the leaves out.
Matcha is full of antioxidants and catechins that help overall health and prevent disease. The antioxidants from one cup of matcha are equal to the antioxidants in 10 cups of regular green tea. Matcha also contains a high concentration of chlorophyll, which helps eliminate chemicals from the body.
