Green tea is one of the most popular and beneficial drinks in the world, however, studies suggest that one of its variety is even more powerful. Matcha, one of its type, is claimed to be healthier than any of the others.

Matcha, unlike other green teas, is grown and prepared differently as its entire leaf is used. It came from a plant named Camellia sinensis, a native to China. Although all green teas come from this plant, preparing match requires covering it from direct sunlight for 20-30 days. It is also prepared differently, as it requires the whole ground leaves for consumption, rather than just soaking it. As a result, this type of tea is more powerful than any of its type.

Although it has the same health benefits as of the green tea, matcha has more antioxidants since it is concentrated. It's like drinking thrice of the regular green tea.

According to Authority Nation, drinking matcha reduces the risk of kidney and liver damage. It also regulates blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride - a type of fat present in the blood. In comparison to drinking regular green tea, matcha seems to be more efficient in fighting viruses, fungi, and bacteria.

It also helps in detoxifying effectively and naturally. Detoxifying is important as it cleanses the body of the toxins that are harmful to health. It also boosts energy and aids in weight loss. Drinking matcha also fortifies the immune system. Studies have shown that drinking matcha promotes overall health and provides essential nutrients like Iron, Calcium, Protein, and Vitamins A & C.

Furthermore, as Matcha Source suggests, it boosts memory and concentration as matcha contains L-Theanine. L-Theanine is responsible for the production of serotonin and dopamine, the hormones that help enhance mood, promote better concentration, and improve memory. Above all, matcha, unlike other teas and medicine, tastes a lot better because of its amazing flavor. Anyone can even drink it alone with milk and sugar, making it truly unique in its own way.
