1. Antioxidant Power for Age-Defying Care

Uji matcha is rich in catechins—especially EGCG—which help neutralize free radicals, a major cause of aging and disease.

Tea leaves grown in regions like Uji, with misty climates and wide temperature differences between day and night, naturally concentrate more nutrients, resulting in exceptional antioxidant strength.

2. Calm Focus with Theanine

Theanine, the amino acid responsible for matcha’s umami flavor, increases alpha waves in the brain, promoting a gentle sense of relaxation.

Working in harmony with the caffeine in matcha, it helps create an ideal state of mind—relaxed, yet focused.

This unique effect is one reason matcha has long been valued in tea ceremony and Zen practice as a way to center the mind.

3. Support for Healthy Skin and Gut Balance

Uji matcha contains a well-balanced mix of nutrients, including vitamins C, E, and K, beta-carotene, and iron—all of which support healthy skin and metabolism.

In particular, chlorophyll (the green pigment in tea leaves) offers strong detoxifying effects, helping to improve gut health and promote beauty from the inside.

4. A Gentle Energy Boost

Unlike coffee, the caffeine in matcha is released slowly and steadily, providing a gentle lift without sudden spikes.

This is thanks to other compounds in matcha that moderate its absorption, making it perfect for enhancing focus in the morning or afternoon.
