- Matcha tea may help lower the risk of developing cancers, most especially in the brain, cervix, bladder, prostate, pancreas, breast, skin, lung, stomach, ovarian, and colon.
- Matcha green tea can boost your metabolic rate by 35-40% (you do know boosting your metabolic rate can help you burn fat!).
Matcha tea may help lower the risk of heart attacks.
Matcha tea may help lower the risk of strokes.
Matcha tea may help fight against inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism.
- Matcha tea may help cleanse the body of harmful toxins.
- Matcha green tea is a strong blood detoxifier because of the very high levels of chlorophyll!
* Matcha green tea contains 70 times more antioxidants than orange juice.
* Matcha green tea contains 9 times more beta carotene than spinach.
Green tea are equally effective antioxidants. Tea is also a good source of another class of flavonoids called flavonols. Flavonols found in tea include kaempferol, quercetin, and myricitin.Green tea drinkers are reported to have lower total cholesterol.
Matcha can help to boost one's metabolic rate, thus enhancing your ability to burn fat and lose weight.
Other health benefits from drinking Matcha include:
- Contains potent, cancer-fighting and anti-aging catechins
- Natural mood enhancement
- Zero glycemic index i.e. will not raise insulin levels
- High in fiber
- Sugar-free
- Rich in antioxidants and chlorophyll
- Boosts metabolism
- Helps to focus the mind by reducing mental and physical stress and improving cognition due to high levels of L-Theanine
Calming and focusing, whilst stimulating at the same time.




The word thermogenesis literally means heat generation. Matcha Green tea increases thermogenesis in the body, becoming a potent appetite suppressant and increasing fat oxidation. This in turn helps the body to use fat as an energy source. This means the body is preferentially burning fat over protein.
Matcha contains more than 10x the polyphenols of regular green tea plus it retains the fiber of the entire green tea leaf, it stands to reason that matcha would be superior to regular green tea for cholesterol.

Alpha Brain Waves = Natural Antidepressant - Alpha brain waves allow for increased release of an important neurotransmitter called "Serotonin." Serotonin production usually drops to lower than normal levels in your brain when you feel depressed. In fact, most antidepressants nowdays aim to increase low levels of serotonin in the brain (do a search for "SSRI's" to find out more). For these reasons, it makes sense that alpha brain waves may help ward off your blues.

Green Tea EGCG:
A Natural Treatment for Uterine Fibroids
(Note: Check with your doctor before you take matcha. Our research, thus far, has found that it may help with smaller fibroids but not larger ones...as it is said that one is not suppose to have caffeine if she has fibroid tumors.We encourage to do your own Uterine Fibroid and Caffeine research. Check out this informative article and make your best judgement.)
Uterine fibroids can be a very difficult condition to treat clinically. The treatment is often surgical when symptoms are significant enough to cause problems. Uterine fibroids are believed to affect at least 1/3 of North American Women. They cause symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pressure effects on other organs, and fertility concerns: all of which have large impacts on a woman's health. A study has recently come out from the Centre for Women's Health Research at Meharry Medical College which concludes that EGCG, an extract from Green tea, may induce apoptosis (cell death) and reduce proliferation of uterine fibroid cells by affecting gene expression. This is the second study from Meharry Medical College on this topic, the first having been released in May 2008. The mechanism studied is in line with recent research indicating that uterine fibroids are correlated with genetic factors and gene expression, evidence for which was examined in a review from the National Institute of Health Sciences, Comparative Pathobiology Group. A study was also released in February 2008 which showed a positive effect of EGCG on fibroids in quail, an animal which is especially prone to these tumors.
Genetic effects of Green Tea on Fibroid Growth
In the study, the EGCG from green tea significantly decreased the expression of the genes PCNA, CDK4, and BCL2(genes which promote growth of fibroid cells) as well as increased the expression of the pro-apoptotic BAX(a gene which promotes cell degeneration in a fibroid cell) in a dose-dependent manner. This indicates that EGCG works along multiple genetic pathways to inhibit fibroid tumor growth.
Fibroids and Hormones : Risk Factors
Factors which are currently thought to promote growth of fibroids are periods of excess estrogen, periods of unopposed estrogen(when there is insufficient progesterone to balance out estrogens), and xenoestrogens (environmental chemicals such as those found in some plastics or pesticides which mimic the effects of estrogen in the body). Risk factors for fibroids are many, and factors such as having an early age of onset of the menses or lack of ovulation give unopposed estrogen more time to stimulate fibroid growth. Risk of fibroids is reduced by having children (also known as the effects of parity- risk is reduced most for women who have several children) which is now thought to be related to ischemic effects on the uterus after birth (reduced blood flow to the uterine tissues and involution of the uterus) which appear to reduce formation and growth of fibroids. Fibroids are more common in women over 40, and this may be related to changes in hormonal mediators during perimenopause, or alternately from 20-30 consecutive years of exposure to estrogen.
Although it has been traditionally thought that estrogen is the only promoter of fibroid growth, research now points to progesterone as a stimulator of fibroid growth. Fibroids contain both progesterone and estrogen receptors which are up and down regulated during the menstrual cycle. A key to stimulation of fibroid growth may be in conversion enzymes. Studies point to increased expression of an enzyme known as aromatase in women who have fibroids. Aromatase is an enzyme which converts androgens to estrogen (androgens are male hormones, and the precursors to estrogen). This information indicates that treatments which work at the level of this enzymatic activity (such as aromatase inhibitors - to be discussed on a future blog post) can bring more balance to the effects of of estrogen on tissues, especially if started at an early stage of the condition.
Fibroids: The Liver and Diet
Another factor which can cause growth of fibroids relates to the clearance of hormones and conversion of estrogen to weaker forms by the liver. If liver function is poor, more estradiol will circulate and increase growth of the fibroids. Dietary factors which are also linked to risk of fibroids include low fibre diets (fibre improves elimination of hormones). Higher fat and lower fibre diets have also been linked to higher levels of estradiol according to a meta analysis of date from the Journal of the National Cancer institute, and obesity is also correlated with a higher risk for fibroids (androgens are converted to estrogens in adipose tissue). Green tea also has thermogenic (fat burning) effects according to multiple studies (effects beyond that of the caffeine it contains), so it may be helpful for women with fibroids from this standpoint as well.
A study from Japan indicated that green tea and other caffeinated beverages reduced serum estrogen by increasing sex hormone binding globulin, which is also of benefit in reducing the rate of estrogen stimulated fibroid growth. Although other caffeinated beverages such as coffee also appeared to increase sex hormone binding globulin, only green tea was correlated to a day 11 lower serum estradiol.
Although more research is needed in this area before firm conclusions can be drawn on this topic, it seems that EGCG has multiple benefits for women who are at risk for fibroid development. Though unlikely to shrink larger developed fibroids to a great extent, it may have a role to play in earlier stages and in prevention of these benign yet troublesome growths.
All teas that are derived from the tea plant (camellia sinensis) contain Caffeine, sometimes referred to as Theine. Since Matcha consists of the entire tea-leaves in a powdered form, it is relatively high in Caffeine. With 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha (1 and 1/2 grams) you consume about 35 mg of caffeine, which is a similar to the amount in a half cup of coffee.
Due to its unique combination of phyto-nutrients, the caffeine in Matcha is assimilated in a very different and much healthier way. The caffeine in Matcha binds to the larger catechin molecules, that also act as powerful antioxidants, and is released into the bloodstream slowly over time, as the catechins are broken down and assimilated. The results are 'time-released' smaller dosages of caffeine that provide sustained energy for up to 6 to 8 hours. This mechanism also prevents the insulin and adrenalin spikes typical for coffee intake, so you never have to experience the 'after-low' that follows when the blood sugar drops.
Potential negative effects are also balanced by the calming influence of the amino acid L-Theanine. The relaxing effects of L-Theanine act antagonistically against the stimulatory effects of caffeine on the nervous system thus smoothing the body's reaction and leading to an experience of dynamic bliss. The combined effect is a state of mental clarity, calm alertness and sustained energy.

In the gastrointestinal tract, matcha green tea was found to activate intracellular antioxidants and reduce inflammation. High green tea consumption may prevent chronic atrophic gastritis. Also, green tea may help reduce inflammation associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the two types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).




Have you been battling with halitosis without success? Matcha tea may actually be able to help you. Drinking Matcha green tea is a totally natural way to rid your mouth of bad smells which cause you so much embarrassment.
Kill the Bacteria - Kill the Bad Breath
The reason bad breath occurs is because bacteria grows on your tongue and gum pockets.It's this bacteria which gives off a foul-smelling odor known as halitosis or bad breath. Many people turn to mints to help cover up the smell but 1) they don't kill the bacteria which causes the bad breath and .What makes tea so wonderful is that it kills the bacteria in your mouth which in turn kills the smell. Studies show that it's the polyphenols in some teas which suppress the bacteria.
Other Health Benefits of Tea
Along with keeping odor-causing plaque and bacteria at bay you will also be preventing colds, dental problems and throat infections. You can't say that about most over-the-counter products!
Of course, you should continue to brush your teeth and floss everyday as per usual. Tea doesn't replace your normal oral hygiene routine, it simply compliments it. By drinkingMatcha green tea in-between brushing your teeth, you can help solve your bacteria and plaque problems keeping those nasty smells away.
The best matcha comes from the renowned Nishio region in Japan, where the tea leaves are grown under cover for the last few weeks to produce the maximum amount of amino acids and the chlorophyll that gives it the green colour. The leaves are then dried and very slowly ground by a granite stone to a very fine powder, which is then packed and sealed immediately to lock in all the nutrients. Just a quarter teaspoon of this bright green powder gives you the same health benefits as equivalent of 15 cups of regular green tea and contains 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice, 90 times the beta carotene of spinach plus vitamins A, B and C.



I have had green tea before in a tea bag. Is this kind of green tea just as potent as your Michaela Matcha Powder Tea?
The tea bags are not as potent as the matcha powder simply because you are not ingesting the entire leaf as you do with the powder, you end up throwing the steeped leaves in the compost or garbage. This is a pure powder, no strings, so staple, no bag...plus you can drink or eat it! It is a very special, high grade, premium form of green tea that is very potent!

Does matcha contain caffeine?
Yes, it does. A recommended 1g serving contains 34mg of caffeine. This is compared to 70-180mg for a cup of coffee. Most experts consider 200-300mg of caffeine per day to be an acceptable level.
How can I determine the quality of matcha?
Determine by color. The greener the color of your matcha powder, the sweeter the taste of the Matcha. Also higher quality Matcha will have a fuller and fresher flavor than lower quality Matcha. Higher quality Matcha will also froth up nicely when it's whisked.
How does Matcha work for weight loss?
We recommend that if you're trying to lose 10-15 pounds, one big glass a day will be just fine. You do not want to overdo it, or go to fast for that particular weight goal. So take it slow! If you're trying to lose 20-40 pounds, we recommend around 2 glasses a day. For 50 pounds or more, we recommend 3 glasses or more.You can also trip up your system which might be good for weight loss by not doing the matcha at the exact same time every day or drinking different amounts every day. For instance, one day drink 1 matcha, another day do three and the next day, drink only two matchas. That way your bodily systems never get use to it and will work the matcha more effectively. One usually lose about 1-3 pounds a week depending on their good or bad eating habits and diet.
Are there any foods or a diet you recommend while on Matcha?
There is no special diet! You may want to cut out sodas, heavy breads and extra sugary snacks. We recommend that you visit Cee Cee's"Weight Loss Foods"tab on her website. Just click on www.TinyTummyNow.com and look for that tab on the blue side menu bar. Also exercise is always a plus!
How much Matcha should I consume in a day?
We recommend Almond breeze which comes in either the original or vanilla flavor, which comes in 40, 60, 90 calories! The 90-cal Vanilla flavor, although is sweeter has more calories than the original. So please choose according to your liking of sweetness.
Almond Breeze is available at almost any local grocery store.
Almond Breeze is a non-dairy beverage made from real almonds, all natural, smooth and creamy with a hint of almonds. Almond Breeze is a great tasting non-dairy beverage without the thin, chalky after taste of rice and soy beverages.
- Gluten, cholesterol and lactose free
- Excellent source of calcium, vitamins D & E
- Good source of vitamin A
- A refreshing alternative to soy and rice non-dairy beverages
You can serve matcha cold or with hot water or hot almond milk. To receive the greatest health benefits, make sure your make your matcha at 70 degrees. If you don't have a temperature-controlled kettle, be sure to switch off the kettle before it reaches boiling point. Very hot water can burn the health properties out of the Matcha.
