From lattes and frapp\u00e9s to happy hour cocktails, matcha has become increasingly popular, and it\u2019s not hard to see why. It\u2019s less bitter than your average green tea and also comes with some health benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you drink matcha you ingest the entire tea leaf,\u201d says Geraldine Ridaura, founder of San Diego\u2019s first matcha cafe, Holy Matcha<\/a>. \u201cYou receive 100% of the nutrients from that leaf versus steaming or french pressing, which is basically you tossing the goods.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Ridaura, matcha has 137 times more antioxidants than regularly brewed green tea and can help to speed up your metabolism while fighting free radicals roaming around in your body. It also contains L-theanine, which is an amino acid that allows you to find your zen without falling asleep.<\/p>\n
