Yes! The health benefits of matcha tea far exceed those of green tea. Although both types of tea come from the same plant "camellia sinensis", a major difference lies in the fact that when we drink green tea, the leaves get infused into hot water and are then discarded. With matcha, you’re drinking the actual leaves, which have been finely powdered. Matcha literally means "powdered tea." Because the whole leaves are ingested, it’s a more potent source of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and fibers than steeped green tea. In terms of benefits, a single cup of Teangle Matcha is equivalent to 10 cups of regular green tea. Matcha contains 137 times more antioxidants than traditional green tea! It requires no infusion time and is also extremely versatile when it comes to its applications. You can drink it, cook with it & even incorporate it into your beauty routine!
