I don’t know if you have noticed but I have gone a little Matcha Green Tea crazy of late. I can’t get enough of the stuff. I love tea of any kind and drink gallons of the stuff but I am new to Matcha. Not only is it delicious but it has numerous health benefits. It is full of antioxidants that help protect our skin from harmful UV rays giving us an appearance of younger looking skin. Matcha Green Tea also aids calm, helps you burn calories faster, detoxifies the body and boosts memory and concentration. These are all positive things in my book.
