Matcha tea is a special type of stone-ground, traditional Japanese green tea that contains natural polyphenol antioxidant compounds called catechins, which are known to have many beneficial health properties. The caffeine in matcha tea is released in the body steadily due to its other compounds, so there’s no jittery caffeine peak with this smoothie.
