While one serving of matcha has much less caffeine than coffee, it provides a sustained energy boost – without the jitters or crash at the end. This is because matcha contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that helps your body to process caffeine differently and create a state of calm alertness, improve focus and helps you concentrate. Plus, no coffee breath. Enough said.
Matcha green tea contains over 10 times the nutrientscompared to regular green tea, white tea, Rooibos tea and Yerba Mate. It also contains 137x the metabolism-boosting EGCGs (a type of catechin and polyphenol) than that which is found in regular green tea.

Matcha is a superfood—a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and other natural health boosters. Here are some of the main benefits of drinking matcha:
The element in matcha that creates a calming-yet-alert effect is called L-Theanine, an amino acid naturally found in plants, including matcha green tea leaves. It has been studied for its ability to reduce stress and boost mood. It is also associated with boosting the brain's Alpha waves, which is the brain's optimal state for enhanced intuition, focus, creativity, cognition and memory.
Epic Matcha can help you enjoy a natural, authentic sense of focus. In less than 30 minutes, you can experience a calming transformation. Your memory can improve. Your concentration can expand exponentially. And your creativity, which becomes unshackled, can blossom. You can benefit from all of this and more, because of Epic Matcha’s high concentrations of the amino acid, L-Theanine.
Your body processes the caffeine found in matcha differently than the caffeine found in other sources, such as coffee. That’s because matcha also contains a hefty dose of the amino acid L-Theanine. When caffeine and L-Theanine get together, they produce a sustainable source of energy that lasts 4-6 hours,along with a calm-yet-alert state of mind. Matcha promotes focus and concentration, without the jitters or crash of coffee.
One serving of matcha powder contains more antioxidants than almost any other food on the planet. The ORAC value is an astounding 1384 in one serving (which is more than all of these superfoods combined: goji berries 253, spinach 26, dark chocolate 227, pecans 180, pomegranate 105, acai berries 55, wild blueberries 93). Antioxidants are special nutrients that protect your body’s cells against damage from free radicals (those pesky free radicals cause aging effects). Matcha is also rich in a unique type of antioxidants known as catechins (more on that below), which have powerful cancer-fighting properties and the ability to increase metabolism.
In addition to antioxidants, matcha also contains fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, chlorophyll, and polyphenols (naturally occurring micronutrients found in plants). And because matcha contains the whole green tea leaf finely grounded (and not a tea bag you throw away), you get 10x more nutrients in matcha vs brewed green tea.
Chlorophyll gives matcha its vibrant green color and is one of the reasons why matcha is so magical. Two weeks before harvesting the leaves, the tea plants are shaded, which boosts their chlorophyll levels. Chlorophyll can help improve liver function,which helps to increase your body’s ability to detoxify. In addition to flushing out toxins, chlorophyll has also been shown to help with the excretion of heavy metals, dioxins, and other persistent chemicals, like PBC’s.
Burn 40% more calories with matcha. Because of its high content of catechins, matcha can boost your metabolism and help you lose weight – even while you sleep. Catechins help regulate your weight through thermogenesis and by oxidizing fat. Matcha can also improve your energy and stamina, and as a pre-workout drink, it can help you enjoy exercise.
Here’s a little bit more about the elements that are found in matcha:
L-theanine is an incredibly powerful amino acid, which provides you with the same benefits of caffeine – without the crash that follows. Higher quality matcha powders and green teas contain higher levels of L-theanine. This is also the element that helps create Alpha waves in the brain, which is the optimal frequency for intuition, creativity, focus and concentration.
Chlorophyll gives matcha its vibrant green color and is one of the reasons why matcha is so magical. Two weeks before harvesting the leaves, the tea plants are shaded, which boosts their chlorophyll levels.

In addition to flushing out toxins, chlorophyll has also been shown to help with the excretion of heavy metals, dioxins, and other persistent chemicals, like PBC’s.
Catechins are phenols, aromatic organic compounds that provide green tea with its unmistakable flavor. Catechins are also natural antioxidants, with strong antibacterial qualities as well. These phytochemicals offer a fine balance of what you need to stay healthy and battle off the bad stuff. They're also what gives matcha its thermogenic qualities (boosting metabolism by up to 40%).
Fluorine is a naturally occurring element. Remember the periodic table from high school science class? It's situated at atomic number nine on the chart. Fluorine is important for healthy kidney function, and matcha provides more fluorine than any other drink in the world.
Matcha tea powder contains caffeine, a stimulant that you are likely quite familiar with. Naturally found in teas, coffee, chocolate and other foods, caffeine helps improve alertness, reduce anxiety and decrease stress. When caffeine from matcha combines with L-theanine, magic happens. That's why you get a steady release of calm, focused energy - instead of the jitters and crash that coffee gives.
Matcha features a variety of vitamins, including vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Some also contain vitamin B6, a nutrient that improves metabolism, digestion, oxidation, immune system function, and cell repair (aka anti-aging). These vitamins are crucial components for a healthy functioning system, and consuming green tea products is an easy, enjoyable way to get them.
