NOW Foods Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder is a pure, highly concentrated, organic matcha green tea powder (whole leaf) with no added ingredients. Use it to make traditional tea, lattes, smoothies, or baked goods—a great alternative to coffee with a mild, focused energy boost.
Composition
[b]Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder — 100% matcha; contains catechins (including EGCG), chlorophyll, and L-theanine. EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) is a powerful antioxidant that supports cellular health and fights free radicals. L-theanine helps with focus and relaxation, while softening the effects of caffeine.
Caffeine — one dose contains approximately 16 mg of caffeine, which provides energy, but is a much milder effect than coffee. [/b]
Benefits
→ Antioxidant protection: Matcha is rich in polyphenols like EGCG, which help fight free radicals and maintain cell health.
→ Moderate and clean energy: The combination of caffeine and L-theanine provides focus and alertness, without the sudden “crisis crash” often associated with coffee.
→ Improve cognitive focus and calmness: L-theanine can help promote a calmer state, while caffeine stimulates the mind — a good formula for work, study, or creativity.
→ Flexibility of use: Can be drunk as a traditional tea, made into a latte with plant-based milk, added to smoothies, casseroles, baked goods and desserts.
→ Pure and organic product: Certified “USDA Organic” and non-GMO; the powder contains no other additives.
Method of use
Recommended dosage: Add 1/2 teaspoon (≈ 1 g) of powder per serving.
Making tea: Pour about 120 ml (4 oz) of hot water (~180 °F or about 82–85 °C), stir (or whisk) with a bamboo brush (“chasen”) or a regular one — until foam forms.
Latte version: Mix the powder with warm milk (or plant-based milk) and sweetener of choice, then whisk/use a mixer or frother to get a creamy texture.
Smoothies or baked goods: Add matcha to shakes, smoothies, oatmeal, or baking dough for extra flavor and antioxidants.
