Caffeine without the crash? Rawr!! Matcha contains caffeine, but it's buffered by naturally occurring L-Theanine which creates a slow release effect. This modulation of caffeine entering the bloodstream is softer on cortisol levels, thus preventing blood sugar spikes and crashes. 10 points for Glen Coco! Read the research here.

We're up against a lot of toxins in our environment, drinking water, tech world, and food. Daily detox is essential to managing our toxic load. Our body can only handle so much! Matcha contains abundant levels of detoxifying-chlorophyll, the truly super green pigment found in almost every plant. Matcha is strategically shade-dried to optimize nutrient content and uses the whole leaf of the plant. You're left with the same amount of chlorophyll as a serving of spinach and 5x the amount of chlorophyll as regular green tea. All the more reason to have an afternoon cup :) Read the research here.

The combination of chlorophyll + Vitamin C + antioxidants in matcha make it a true all-in-1 cocktail for hydrated, youthful skin.
