Matcha

Matcha is made from steamed Tencha tea leaves that have been ground into a fine powder. Matcha is prepared by whisking a small amount into hot water, creating a frothy, intensely green drink that has a distinctive grassy flavor. Matcha contains more antioxidants than virtually any other food, including Acai berries and pomegranates. Matcha also contains high levels of L-theanine, an amino acid which lowers stress levels but preserves alertness. The L-theanine counteracts the caffeine in the tea, making Matcha ideal for creating a mental state of relaxed alertness.
