       For almost a thousand years matcha green tea powder has been produced in Japan. It was first imported from China, where grounding tea leaves into powder had been tradition for many centuries before. At first, matcha was a drink favored by Buddhist monks in their monasteries, offering relaxation and energy during the many hours of meditation. Late on higher echelons of society desired the unique taste of matcha powder as well. Even if you are no fan of green tea flavor, these benefits will be more than enough to convince you to give matcha a go. You just have to look at Japanese people and you realize that they are, on average, leaner, healthier and younger looking than your average westerner. Matcha powder is part of the Japanese diet and one reason for their excellent health and youthful looks. Energy Boosting Properties. The natural occurring amino acids in matcha can boost your energy levels for hours. Drinking matcha is a better option than caffeinated drinks, since you don’t get all the side-effects of caffeine withdrawal when you drink it. High quality matcha was so expensive to produce that it used to be a luxury only for the rich. Drinking matcha was often accompanied by a graceful tea ceremony and many Japanese do so even today.
