Benefits

2. The antioxidant potential of matcha is due to the grinding process and the powdered form which enhances the extraction of the polyphenolic compounds and makes it more readily available to the body.

3. The temperature of water used for brewing the infusion plays a crucial role in the chemical composition and health-boosting properties of matcha, higher temperatures lead to higher antioxidant capacity.

4. Matcha green tea has been linked with antioxidant effects, improvement of cognitive function, prevention of neurodegenerative disorders, and cardioprotective properties.
