Matcha is the fine powder produced by ground green tea leaves that have been grown covered from sunlight before harvest.
This protection from sunlight stimulates chlorophyll production, giving the leaves a dark green colour.
Matcha contains high levels of catechins, which is a natural anti-oxidant, which is what entitles it to the superfood label.
At Britt’s Superfoods, we use matcha tea in our Blended Green Juice, this mixed with wheatgrass juice, nettle juice and barley grass juice create a powerful superfood juice that can contribute to healthy energy levels, reduction of tiredness and fatigue and increased mental and physical performance.
