Matcha Green Tea Powder – Japanese Organic Culinary Grade Matcha from Kiss Me Organics

All true tea comes from the tea plant “Camellia Sinensis”, a shrub native to Southern China. Green tea is known as the “healthiest” form of tea due to its lack of processing, resulting in extremely high nutrient levels. Matcha green tea originated in Japan, and because the entire leaf is ingested in powder form, it is the most potent green tea in the world.

The Benefits of Kiss Me Organics Matcha

Improves Cholesterol

Researchers aren’t entirely certain how Matcha Green Tea has such a positive effect on cholesterol, however, studies of different populations have shown that people who drink Matcha Green Tea on a regular basis have lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while at the same time displaying higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Men who drink Matcha Green Tea are about 11% less likely to develop heart disease than those who don’t drink Matcha.

Stronger immune system

Kiss Me Organics Matcha contains various antioxidants, polyphenols, EGCG, L-theanine, which collectively contribute in boosting the immune defense of the body, and helps provide protection against various antigens.

Antioxidant power

Kiss Me Organics Matcha stores a wealth of natural antioxidants and polyphenols. A research study assessing the antioxidant power of matcha tea has revealed that as compared to other green teas matcha has the highest amount of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an extremely healthful component with numerous benefits. These antioxidants seek out for oxygen free radicals and neutralize their harmful effects thereby, protecting the body from the occurrence of disorders or inflammations associated with oxidative stress.

Loaded with Catechin, EGCG

You may have already heard that not all antioxidants are created equal. Green tea contains a specific set of organic compounds known as catechins. Among antioxidants, catechins are the most potent and beneficial. One specific catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) makes up 60% of the catechins in Matcha Green Tea. Out of all the antioxidants, EGCg is the most widely recognized for its cancer-fighting properties. Scientists have found that Matcha Green Tea contains over 100 times more EGCG than any other tea on the market.

Type-2 diabetes

Kiss Me Organics Matcha may prove valuable for maintaining healthy metabolism in diabetic individuals. Antioxidant-rich matcha tea aids in reducing the levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and hepatic glucose content in diabetic individuals. Investigative research conducted on diabetic subjects administered with matcha tea has shown that matcha exerts inhibitory action against renal and hepatic damage by restraining the accumulation of advanced glycation end products in the kidneys.

Cardiovascular health

Another valuable action exerted by epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) present in matcha is the maintenance of cardiovascular health. The richness of this component in Kiss Me Organics Matcha makes it a potent powder. Matcha keeps cholesterol levels low. A research study has suggested that EGCG helps in reducing the accumulation of lipids and promotes autophagy in the vascular endothelial cells.

Energy enhancer

Kiss Me Organics Matcha contains a healthy form of caffeine not to be mistaken with the one present in the regular coffee. This unique form caffeine known as theophylline sustains the energy levels without any adverse effects. The slow release of energy due to theophylline helps in supporting the functionality of adrenal glands and maintains optimum hormonal levels.

Detoxifies the Body

During the last three weeks before tea leaves are harvested to be made into Matcha, Camellia sinensis are covered to deprive them of sunlight. This causes a tremendous increase in chlorophyll production in the new growth of these plants. The resulting high levels of chlorophyll in Matcha Green Tea not only give this tea its beautiful vibrant green color. Matcha is also a powerful detoxifier capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.

Mental alertness (Focus) and calming effect

Kiss Me Organics Matcha works wonderfully well in providing a calming effect to the body. L-theanine, a unique amino acid present in matcha green tea possesses anti-anxiolytic properties and assists in boosting alpha waves in the brain.

These alpha waves encourage relaxation and induce a profound feeling of mental clarity and an alert state of mind just as is imparted by the yoga techniques. A study conducted on theanine suggests that theanine acts as a neurotransmitter, which exerts a calming effect on the brain without causing any drowsiness.

This soothing effect [provided by matcha helped the Buddhist monks in maintaining deep concentration during their meditation sessions and was the main reason behind its popularity. Another study has revealed the anti-stress effects of theanine present in matcha, which assists in reducing the physiological and psychological stress responses by inhibiting the neuron excitation.

Protection from infections

Kiss Me Organics Matcha green tea powder contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which is also effective in fighting against various bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Investigative research has suggested that EGCG binds to the lipid membrane and exerts inhibitory action against the growth of various important human pathogens including influenza A virus, hepatitis B and C virus, herpes virus, adenovirus Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, and Candida albicans yeast.

Gastrointestinal health

Kiss Me Organics Matcha is useful for treating gastrointestinal disorders. A research study conducted in this field has revealed that consumption of matcha stimulates fecal excretion and helps the body to get rid of harmful chemicals and toxins.

Cancer prevention

Matcha assists in the prevention of cancer attributed to the presence of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which has chemopreventive properties. Multiple studies have shown that polyphenols present in matcha tea prevent the proliferation of malignant cancerous cells, promote induction of apoptosis, and assists in reducing the risk of developing various cancers including bladder cancer and colorectal cancer. EGCG exerts inhibitory activities and works against the progression of human breast and prostate tumors as well.

Culinary usage

Apart from healthy gains, matcha is widely popular as an ingredient in a range of food items. Matcha is used to add flavor to a variety of western-style confectionary items including chocolates, cakes, candies, cookies and green tea ice creams. Recently, a number of famous cafes in North America and around have introduced matcha-based drinks such as smoothies, milkshakes, lattes and alcoholic beverages.

What I love best about Kiss Me Organics Matcha Green Tea Powder

Fortunately, unlike a lot of other teas which require sugar, milk, or lemon to make them palatable to the average consumer, Matcha is absolutely wonderful all by itself. Its crisp vegetative notes are complemented by the savory taste of the L-Theanine amino acid making Matcha a tea that is truly unique in every way.
