Matcha tea properties

Matcha, like other green teas, contains a class of antioxidants called catechins and is rich in a catechin called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which is believed to have cancer-fighting effects in the body. Studies have linked green tea to a variety of health benefits, as it can reduce or prevent oxidation of other substances, thus fighting free radicals that lead to ageing and cell degradation. Antioxidants help improve the appearance of skin and nails, help maintain proper cholesterol levels and lower blood sugar levels, thus preventing diabetes and obesity.
