At Yum Matcha®, we know how busy life gets, and when life gets busy for a long time, we forget how to unwind. That’s why it’s so important to slow things down when you can. Luckily for us, matcha keeps us calm and collected even in times of extreme chaos. Whether you use traditional matcha or our on-the-go Yum Matcha® packets, we hope you experience the blissful calm that comes with sipping on a cup of matcha tea.
And if you want something a little more exciting and adventurous than a simple cup of tea, we recommend you check out one of our Recipe Page!
Before we lay out the simple steps to make some delicious matcha tea, let’s quickly go over the health benefits of drinking ceremonial grade matcha tea:
It’s high in antioxidants
The caffeine in matcha helps you stay awake and focus
It has an abundance of catechins which helps to lower blood pressure
Matcha has high levels of catechins which also help to lower cholesterol and decrease your chances of getting heart disease, a heart attack, or a stroke
