If you have any concerns about consuming matcha or any other food or beverage, please consult with your doctor or healthcare professional.

    3. Calms the mind: Matcha also contains an amino acid called L-theanine, which has a calming effect on the mind and helps to promote relaxation.
    4. Helps with weight loss: Matcha has been shown to help with weight loss by boosting metabolism and increasing fat burning.

    Incorporating Matcha into Your Recipes
