What is matcha?

Matcha is a type of green tea and is created by grinding up young tea leaves into a powder form. Traditionally tea leaves are steeped in hot water, but with matcha, the powder is whisked into the water which means you get more nutrients and can take advantage of more of the benefits. 

What are the benefits of matcha? 

Matcha is extremely high in antioxidants, which means it’s great for your skin. Antioxidants can help with hydration and brightening of the skin, as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Antioxidants are also great for relieving the skin of inflammation and redness. In addition to antioxidants, matcha is packed with vitamins and nutrients like collagen needed for healthy skin.
