Matcha has the lowest caffeine level of any green tea. It's the L-theanine in matcha that makes people alert. The body can't absorb it as quickly as caffeine, so that pick-me-up lasts for about eight hours. At the same time L-theanine acts on the brain to relax and focus people. One cup of matcha contains 70 times the antioxidants of a cup of orange juice and nine times the beta carotene of a serving of spinach. The entire matcha plant is ground into a powder. Each cup is individually blended by hand into water that is heated to a precise temperature. Because consumers are actually drinking the plant - instead of just water infused with its flavour as is the case other tea - matcha promotes regular bowel movements.

Matcha Green Tea Review Review by AstroNutrition In-House Review
Rating Green Tea is commonly included in weight loss supplements these days. Green tea has been used a wide variety of studies to find if it is beneficial for weight loss, cancer prevention, antioxidant activity, cognitive enhancement, general good health, well being, and more. The study results have led to it being a common effective ingredient in fat burners.
For one, green tea contains caffeine, which is a proven fat burner. Green tea further helps with weight loss by slowing blood sugar rises after eating. Additionally, it improves the metabolic rate, which helps people to burn more calories. Green tea has also been found to help reduce body fat, cholesterol levels, and cardiovascular risks due to it being rich in catechins. Green tea might also inhibit fatty acid synthase, which is involved in converting carbs into fat. Thus there are a number of ways green tea can help with weight loss.
Green tea’s benefit as a fat burner is enhanced when combined with caffeine. Hence why many fat burners use both ingredients as part of their formulations.
There is a lot of clinical date supporting the green tea as helping with weight loss. However, there are some things to still consider, such as there is evidence that while it improves metabolism the increase usually only means burning an extra 100 calories a day, which cannot lead to significant weight loss on its own. Green tea, though, does help in more ways, such as dealing with sweet cravings and thus helping you maintain a lower calorie diet.
When choosing to drink green tea to help with weight loss it is important to have realistic expectations. Additionally, it is important to choose high quality green tea from reputable sources, such as loose leaves from China, to get the best of the green tea benefits. You can also use green tea capsules, as a convenient way to add green tea to your diet. However, it can be hard to know what quality of tea it is sourced from. (Posted on 2/16/11) -

Matcha Salad dressing. Review by Chelsea
Rating I love matcha tea. There's loads of things you can do with it besides Matcha lattes. Here's a recipe I want to share, it's easy to make and it's brilliant on salads, veggies or as a bread dip:
1/3 cup of rice wine vinegar
2/3 cup sesame oil (olive oil is good too)
1 tbsp. of mirin
1 tbsp. of soy sauce
1/2 tsp. of matcha powder
In a bowl whisk the rice wine vinegar and matcha until dissolved. Then add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until combined. Easy. Enjoy! (Posted on 3/19/09)
