Matcha Green Tea - A Nutritious Beverage that is sugar free, high in fiber, measures zero on the Glycemic index (will not raise insulin levels) and is rich in antioxidants and chlorophyll (exponentially higher in antioxidants than blueberries and spinach).

Green teas contain a high amount of antioxidants, chemically compounds known to forestall aging. Antioxidants are found in many fruits and vegetables - even chocolate. A testing method known as ORAC - short for oxygen radical absorbance capacity, evaluates the antioxidant levels found in food. According to research done by Tufts University, the ORAC capacity of matcha green tea is exponentially higher than other foods known for their high antioxidants levels such as blueberries and spinach. Below are several articles about the benefits of antioxidants.

Matcha Green Tea - For Cleansing the Body of Toxins: Chlorophyl, the pigment which gives leaves their green color, helps to remove heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body. Because matcha powdered tea is fully ingested when consumed, unlike tea leaves which are infused then discarded, and because matcha is shade grown, a process which increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves, matcha tea is a chlorophyll rich food.
