Matcha is a Japanese superfood.
Tea is rich in antioxidants, catechins that suppress sugar absorption and promote fat burning, and tannins that suppress and decompose fat absorption. In addition, chlorophyll has the function of efficiently excreting unnecessary cholesterol, and vitamin C works together with catechin to suppress melanin pigment, which is said to be effective in forming beautiful skin.

Matcha is made from the whole tea leaves, so you can take in all the rich and high-quality nutrients contained in the tea leaves.
