Matcha |
Koni Matcha is a special type of green tea: a premium, jewel-green powder that is whisked with hot water in a bowl to make a delicious beverage. In addition to providing trace minerals and vitamins (A, B-complex, C, E, and K), matcha is rich in catechin polyphenols - compounds with high antioxidant activity. Matcha contains, by volume, higher concentrations of catechins and vitamins because when you drink matcha you ingest the whole tea leaf.
KONI Matcha blends perfectly with flour, it’s deep in flavor and intense sweetness, and it’s packed with antioxidants! Matcha green tea has approximately 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice, even higher than blueberries, and its unique EGCG catechin element (the subject of much current research) is one of the most powerful immune-boosting and anti-cancer substances known. Several studies have shown it possess anti-viral and antibiotic properties, which assist with everything from digestion to killing harmful bacteria to helping prevent colds and flus. It increases your mental alertness and sharpness while also providing an almost meditative focusing, calming quality. It also has a naturally high vitamin C, flouride and chlorophyl content, among other vitamins and minerals, and nine times the beta carotene of spinach. |
