Like basic green tea, matcha is made from the leaves of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camellia sinensis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plant. Unlike other teas, the plants used to make matcha are grown a little differently. The plants are usually covered\/shaded during the growth period as avoidance of direct sunlight helps enhance the process of synthesis and accumulation of biologically active compounds, including theanine, caffeine, chlorophyll, amino acids content, and more. This also gives the leaves a darker green hue, which is often seen in the powder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the growth process, use of the whole leaf and minimal manipulation during processing, it is considered as a very high quality tea with health promoting properties thanks to its high antioxidant content and anti inflammatory substances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hydration-challenge\/\">The 7-Day Hydration Challenge: Try This Expert-Approved Tips To Drink More Water<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A review published in 2020 reported that the health benefits of this concentrated green tea may include (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7796401\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anticancer_Properties\"><\/span><b>Anticancer Properties<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matcha has epigallocatechin gallate, a plant compound said to inhibit cancerous tumor growth.
