Healthy Chef Matcha Tea is now sourced from premium ceremonial grade matcha featuring leaves picked from the first flush. Our matcha comes from Japan’s Uji region, renowned as the 'birthplace' of matcha, and delights with its elegant flavour and deep green colour. Healthy Chef Matcha Tea has been produced with organic farming practices, and only the best leaves are selected for our premium ceremonial grade Matcha to provide a delicately flavoured powder to refresh and revitalise the body and mind. Samurai warriors used to drink matcha for sustained energy and focus on the battle. Buddhist monks drink this tea before meditation for its calming properties. Unlike coffee that gives you a quick energy spike and releases the stress hormone cortisol, matcha provides a steady and sustained energy boost throughout the day. A teaspoon serving has around 70 milligrams of caffeine, as opposed to 100 milligrams in a regular-sized black coffee, and it releases the caffeine over a longer period of time. Rich with antioxidants this tea has a delicate aroma and helps rejuvenate both body and mind.
