BioRaw™️ Matcha
Matcha
Source
-
What it is: Matcha is a type of finely ground powdered green tea.
-
Plant: Derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant used for all traditional teas (green, black, oolong).
-
Processing: The leaves are shade-grown for 3–4 weeks before harvest, increasing chlorophyll and amino acid levels. After harvesting, stems and veins are removed and the leaves are stone-ground into powder.
2. Origin
-
Country of origin: Japan is the most renowned source of high-quality matcha, especially regions like Uji (Kyoto), Nishio (Aichi), and Shizuoka.
3. Health Benefits
Research-supported benefits of consuming matcha include:
Benefit | Details |
---|---|
Rich in Antioxidants | Particularly catechins like EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which may help reduce inflammation and fight free radicals. |
Boosts Brain Function | Contains caffeine and L-theanine, which together can enhance alertness, memory, and relaxation without the jitters. |
Supports Heart Health | May lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure. |
Aids Weight Loss | Increases metabolism and fat oxidation, especially when combined with exercise. |
Detoxification | High chlorophyll content may help the body eliminate heavy metals and toxins. |
4. Recommended Use
Form | Common Uses |
---|---|
Culinary Grade | Baking, smoothies, lattes, ice cream. |
Ceremonial Grade | Best for traditional tea; whisked with hot water. |
Daily dosage (general recommendation):
-
1–2 tsp (2–4g) per day for most adults.
-
Start with ½ tsp if new to matcha due to its potency.
Preparation tip: Use water at 70–80°C (160–175°F) to avoid bitterness.
5. FDA Caution & Safety
-
FDA Status: Matcha is considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when consumed in normal dietary amounts.
-
Potential concerns:
-
Heavy Metal Contamination: Since you consume the whole leaf, matcha can accumulate lead or arsenic, especially if grown in contaminated soil (more common in non-Japanese sources). Look for lab-tested, organic Japanese matcha.
-
Caffeine Sensitivity: Contains more caffeine per gram than regular green tea—may cause anxiety, insomnia, or increased heart rate in sensitive individuals.
-
Interactions: May interact with medications (e.g., blood thinners due to Vitamin K content).
-
Pregnancy: Should be limited during pregnancy due to caffeine and potential contaminants.
