Magical Matcha: Why Green Matcha Tea Is The Healthiest Tea On The Planet

Simply put, matcha is a powdered green tea, but there is much more to the story. In preparation for harvest, the green tea leaves are protected from direct sunlight, allowing the leaves to produce L-Theanine (more about this otherworldly compound later), and to boost up its levels of chloryphyll - that's why it's as green as rich, dark moss.
