Description
Matcha green tea has very positive effects on the body and health. The combination of caffeine with L-theanine in Matcha green tea provides a steady and long-lasting energy boost without the stress and side effects you may have experienced with coffee or energy drinks.
The combination of caffeine and L-theanine works wonders for concentration, as L-theanine increases the production of α-waves in the brain. A-waves promote relaxation and induce a deep sense of mental clarity and greater alertness—the same state of mind that occurs during meditation and yoga practice. Matcha green tea strengthens the immune system and limits the growth of viruses and bacteria in the body.
