Good morning, Dua! The ultimate wellness status symbol on social media right now? A cup of matcha . Whether it’s a “morning matcha,” accompanying a comprehensive AM routine so often documented online, or consumed on-the-go, as in Dua Lipa’s case, like it or not, it’s cool to have a matcha in your hand.
If you can get past the distinctive, slightly bitter taste, matcha has a wealth of health benefits. A great alternative to coffee , it contains about 70 mg of caffeine, as opposed to coffee’s 120 mg (or thereabouts), plus experts agree that it improves alertness without the inevitable energy crash thereafter. With a compound called L-theanine that prevents anxiety and jitteriness, it’s also good for those familiar with stress.
Nutritionist Lucy Miller previously told Vogue that it is dense in catechins, a “natural antioxidant found in tea,” plus it also helps with “detoxification and may enhance brain function”, and it’s also said to help boost our happy hormones, serotonin, and dopamine. Its popularity certainly stacks up.
If you’re in the market for good matcha, we recommend Golde’s Pure Matcha or Hanaka Kettl Matcha. WATCH supports HTML5 video VIDEO URL
