Matcha tea

Matcha Tea
Matcha tea is simply a powder made from a specific type of green tea, which is steeped in hot water and then drunk. It is prepared from the same green tea plant, but grown in the shade to increase the chlorophyll content in its leaves, as well as other substances such as the amino acid L-theanine.

Benefits of Matcha Tea
Numerous scientific studies have investigated matcha tea and its benefits, finding that it is associated with the following health benefits:

Enhanced Concentration
The presence of the amino acid L-theanine in matcha helps increase relaxation and tranquility. When combined with the caffeine it also contains, this can help increase alertness and concentration.

In a 2017 study involving 17 participants, it was found that consuming 200 milligrams of the amino acid L-theanine improved mental abilities and attention. Researchers noted that this effect was even stronger when L-theanine was combined with caffeine.
