Matcha has made it in the top list of superfoods and is mentioned in the same breath as the likes of chia seeds, coconut water or acai berries. Believe it or not Matcha is actually just green tea powder. The difference is that the growing and processing process is slightly different. This leads to a different set of benefits from ordinary green tea (which we still highly recommend by the way!!).

The antioxidant power of Matcha is about 6 times higher than goji berries and about 26 times higher than the one from acai berries, which are both good sources of antioxidants. Go easy though - one cup of Matcha is as strong as 10 cups of normal green tea!
