Matcha helps you ditch the coffee, while still keeping you awake without the anxiety & jitters. Additional benefits include managing reducing stress level & it is the perfect 'pick me up for the day' drink. Ideal consumption per day should be 2-3 cups. Ceremonial grade matcha is the finest grade first harvest matcha. It has a richer & creamier texture than culinary. The Ceremonial is higher in antioxidants & chlorphyll as well.
