Matcha is a Japanese green tea made with the finest tea leaves. Matcha is a shade tea, meaning that 2 weeks before picking, the tea bushes are shaded with mats or tarpaulins. The bushes respond to this by producing extra chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives matcha its bright green color and detoxifying properties.

The most powerful natural antioxidant
Above you see a comparison of the antioxidant content in ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).
Antioxidants prevent the negative effects of so-called 'free radicals' on cells in your body. Antioxidants are the body's defense substances: they make you feel younger, prevent aging and chronic diseases. You can find them in fresh fruits and vegetables, but matcha contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any natural source, including all superfoods.
Catechins in matcha are considered the most powerful and beneficial antioxidants (100 times more powerful than vitamin C).
One cup of matcha is equal to 10 cups of regular green tea in terms of antioxidants and nutritional value. This is because when you drink matcha, you are getting the entire leaf and all of its nutrients. For this reason, it is important to drink organic matcha that does not contain any pesticide residues.
