Green Tea & Matcha are rich in polyphenol compounds called catechins, a type of antioxidant.\u00a0Catechins are antioxidants that are said to help prevent cell damage.<\/p>

Epigallocatechin gallate<\/a>, also known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate\u00a0(EGCG) which is found in\u00a0Green tea has shown in studies that the polyphenol compounds possess potential health benefits,\u00a0anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects and anticancer properties.<\/p>

EGCG inhibits faulty methylation and reactivates cancer fighting genes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There a small but significant difference in the process\u00a0of creating these teas. Green tea follows the standard tea making ways by\u00a0simply infusing hot water over the tea leaves.<\/p>

Matcha leaves are steamed, dried and ground into potent powder, before being added to hot water, meaning you ingesting the whole leaf rather than just an infusion. Meaning you consume potentially three times the amount of antioxidants\u00a0than more green tea.<\/p>

One study found that matcha contains three times more catechins, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

All types of tea come from the\u00a0Camellia sinensis<\/em>\u00a0plant.\u00a0The difference\u00a0between green and black tea is a result of the manufacturing process. The normal black tea that most people drink daily undergoes a fermentation process which transforms its colour and flavour.\u00a0The level of oxidation of the leaves determines the type of tea produced. Whereas green tea remains unprocessed and retains its emerald green colour.<\/p>

Green tea\u00a0has been consumed and used for its health benefits for centuries in\u00a0its native to China and India<\/p>

Note: Like all types of tea,\u00a0green tea\u00a0contains tannins<\/a>.
