Where are my people that wake up in the morning and are reaching for the coffee pot because you are so exhausted? 😴 🙋♀️ That was me too. It was the first thing I thought about in the morning as well as, I savored that morning cup of coffee. I am now thankful that I found matcha!
Back when I was drinking coffee, there were days that I even had to have multiple cups of coffee during the day to get me through the long and stressful days! I was raising two small children and building my direct sales business, I was constantly tired.
Why did I stop drinking coffee?
I now know that coffee and I actually don’t agree with each other. It tends to give me crazy anxiety, and of course the jitters to the point that I can’t focus. After multiple recommendations, I tried matcha.
Now I am a matcha lover!!!
Let me just say, you can’t just get any matcha. When you are looking at different brands make sure you are checking in the ingredients for Ceremonial-Grade Matcha.
Why?
Ceremonial-grade matcha comes from the youngest, most tender tea leaves. These leaves are shade-grown for several weeks before harvest, which enhances their flavor and increases their chlorophyll content, resulting in a vibrant green color. The leaves are carefully hand-picked and meticulously processed to ensure a fine, silky texture. They are destemmed, deveined, and ground into a powder that is incredibly smooth and free of any coarse particles.
In contrast, lower grades of matcha may be less vibrant in color, have a coarser texture, and exhibit a simpler flavor profile because they are not as precise in the process.
Matcha green tea is one of the world’s most powerful superfoods— one cup is like drinking 10 cups of regular green tea! Since you drink the entire tea leaf, you get concentrated:
- Vitamin C, B-Complex, and zinc to support a healthy immune system
- L-Theanine
- FIber to support healthy digestion and weight management
- Chlorophyll to oxygenate your blood and revitalize cells
- And 30 times more antioxidant activity than blueberries!
