Living Qi Green Matcha Tea – a Great Way to Combat Stress
Coined as the silent killer, stress is perhaps the biggest enemy ready to assault you anytime, anywhere. For those willing to combat stress, Matcha tea is no less than a blessing in disguise. Green Matcha tea is amazingly beneficial in enhancing creativity and reducing stress.
Numerous people have reportedly achieved great improvement in their level of creativity after switching from regular cup of tea/coffee to Matcha tea. Drinking green Match tea helps sustain deep focus and concentration as well. Perhaps that’s the reason why Japanese Zen Buddhist monks used matcha regularly to meditate.
When compared to other green teas, Living QiTM Match tea was found to be much superior in the nutritional content, especially the catechin content.
Green Matcha Tea and Meditation
In order to be able to meditate successfully, one must be able to focus the mind and relax at the same time. Presence of L-theanine and healthy caffeine make the Matcha green tea a perfect drink for those willing to combat stress with the help of meditation.
L-theanine – Shade growing the tea plant and harvesting the early spring leaves augments the L-theanine content in the Matcha. Studies have revealed that L-theanine puts the brain into alpha state – a relaxed brain wave state associated with feelings of relaxation, happiness, and well-being. L-theanine in Matcha tea also has a profound effect on stress.
Healthy Caffeine – It’s the manner in which caffeine is absorbed that differentiates healthy caffeine from harmful caffeine found in other green teas. By binding to the larger catechin molecules, which are also powerful antioxidants, caffeine is released into the bloodstream slowly over time. As your body absorbs the catechin molecules, the caffeine is slowly absorbed. Thus, the catechins act as carrier molecules for caffeine and the caffeine may play a role in the healthy assimilation of the catechin anti-oxidants. Therefore, caffeine is ‘time-released’ in Matcha.
Since caffeine is released in smaller dosages over longer periods of time, you may stay energized for up to 6 to 8 hours. However, since the effect of caffeine is subtle, it won’t hinder your sleep if you wish to unwind after drinking a cup of Matcha.
