At True Matcha, we take pride in sourcing our premium tea from the heart of Uji, Japan, a region famed for its exceptional tea-growing conditions.
Matcha tea stands out from other teas because you consume the entire green tea leaf, not just an infusion. The word ‘matcha’ means ‘powdered tea,’ and that’s exactly what it is—vibrant green tea leaves finely ground into a powder that dissolves completely in your cup. This allows you to enjoy the full range of its nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It’s a wholesome choice for those seeking both flavor and health benefits, making it a favorite among tea enthusiasts and wellness seekers.

Yes, matcha can aid in weight loss due to its ability to boost metabolism and fat burning. It also provides energy, which can support exercise performance. The EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) found in matcha has been linked to increased fat oxidation.
Matcha contains about 30mg of caffeine per serving, depending on the amount used, which is lower than a typical cup of coffee. However, the caffeine in matcha is released slowly due to L-theanine, leading to a longer-lasting, calmer energy boost.
