The effects of matcha
It's not just a feeling. There's a reason why matcha brings balance.
The calm and focused feeling you get when you drink matcha.
It's not just about changing your mood.
Matcha contains various tea-derived components such as L-theanine, caffeine, and catechins. Instead of suddenly boosting your mood, it calms your mind while allowing you to focus on the task at hand.
Matcha has been cherished for centuries as a habit to bring balance to oneself amidst the demands of daily life.
Three components that support your matcha moment
L-theanine
L-theanine is a type of amino acid found in tea.
It is a component that contributes to the unique umami taste of tea and is also known for supporting a relaxed state. When you want to distance yourself from busyness and tension and calmly approach your work.
The act of drinking matcha can serve as a trigger to shift your mindset.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a component associated with alertness and attention. It is naturally present in matcha, not just coffee.
It supports situations where you want to refocus on the task at hand, such as before starting work in the morning or when you want to regain concentration in the afternoon. However, individual responses to caffeine vary. Please be mindful of the amount and timing of consumption if you are sensitive to caffeine or consume it at night.
Catechin
Catechin is a type of polyphenol responsible for the astringency and bitterness of tea.
It is a well-known representative component found in green tea, and with matcha, since the tea leaves are consumed as a powder, you directly ingest the components derived from the tea leaves.
It is also a component that creates the unique slightly bitter and refreshing aftertaste of matcha.
Considering calm and focus simultaneously
Matcha contains both L-theanine, which is associated with relaxation, and caffeine, which is associated with alertness. Research has reported the potential for combining L-theanine and caffeine to support cognitive performance and attention function.
Furthermore, studies on continuous matcha consumption suggest its potential role in maintaining attention function after mild psychological stress.
Not just stimulating intensely, but rather calming and organizing one's awareness. This balance is one of the characteristics of matcha.
Other nutritional components in matcha
In addition to L-theanine, caffeine, and catechins, matcha contains other nutritional components derived from tea leaves.
Potassium
Potassium is a component involved in maintaining the balance of water and minerals in the body. It is known as a mineral found in vegetables and fruits, and it is also present in matcha.
Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is a component that is converted to vitamin A in the body as needed. Vitamin A is involved in maintaining basic bodily functions such as skin and mucous membranes.
Folic Acid
Folic acid is a type of B vitamin. It is known as a nutrient involved in cell formation and red blood cell production.
