When enjoying Matcha as a food or beverage, individuals consume the entire tea leaf in its powdered form. This allows the body to absorb 100% of the benefits, including antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and more. Compared to one serving of a regular green tea bag, Matcha drinkers receive high levels of water-soluble and water-insoluble nutrients. Green tea drinkers only consume the water-soluble nutrients, since the tea bag is typically discarded after one steeping.

Matcha contains higher antioxidant levels on a per gram basis than any other known natural fruit or vegetable. ORAC test results show that one gram of Ceremonial Matcha green tea contains 1,384 ORAC units–about 15x the antioxidants available in one gram of wild blueberries.
