Is Green Tea Powder Really Healthier?
 Matcha green tea powder is used in so many ways today - as a flavouring, in health foods from snack bars to cereals, in confectionary and in cafes as a component of lattes, milkshakes and smoothies. This powder is made from the green tea leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea tree. It is stone ground and is kept in air-tight containers. Studies have shown that matcha, or green tea powder, contains up to 13 times the antioxidant EGCG (epigallatecatechin-gallate) that loose leaf green tea contains. It is these antioxidants that are of tremendous benefit to our health.  When matcha powder is brewed, it is whisked in a small bowl with hot (not boiling) water until it becomes frothy and thoroughly mixed. Because the leaves are directly drunk in powder form, instead of infusing the water, the tea is so much higher in the antioxidants and vitamins than any other teas - green, herbal or otherwise.
