Matcha boasts higher levels of L-Theanine and chlorophyll compared to regular green tea due to its shading process and careful harvesting at the first flush (the beginning of spring). This results in a nutrient-dense powder offering a plethora of health benefits in addition to being an ideal companion in the practice of mindfulness.
