Matcha Started as a "Miracle Medicine"

1. The Monk’s Energy Drink
800 years ago, Buddhist monks used Matcha as a "holy energy drink." The caffeine and L-theanine provided the "calm alertness" they needed to stay awake during long hours of Zen meditation.

2. The 100% Rule
Unlike regular tea where you steep and throw away the leaves, Matcha is a fine powder. By drinking the whole leaf, you absorb 100% of the nutrients and antioxidants. It was the ultimate detox long before the trend existed.

3. A Cure for the Shogun
History says a monk once cured a Shogun’s terrible hangover by serving him Matcha! It was highly valued as a "miracle cure" for the heart and spirit.
