Matcha Green Tea

New Roots Herbal Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea is shade-grown and hand-harvested. Unlike traditional green tea, its brilliant green color and creamy taste and texture are the result of subtle steaming of the whole leaf, before it is stone-ground. It is never roasted, fermented or pan-fried. Its powerful antioxidant and chemoprotective properties are attributed to its high content of the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is also responsible for its favorable effects on collagen, the specific protein that defines connective tissue health, as well as skin suppleness, radiance and smoothness.
