Blessed with its good soil and topography, Uji has been famous and recognized as the No.1 tea harvest region since the 15th century. More importantly, a new method of tea cultivation was developed in Uji in the 16th century, which is crucial to production of matcha and is called “Oishita Saibai” or “shade-grown”. Since then, Uji has been playing an important role in the matcha industry.

Matcha ingredients effective for your health

It has been reported that Matcha has many positive effects for our health.
Following is the list of major ones among them.

• - Fat Burning
  

  EGCG Epigallocatechin gallate contained in Matcha tea provides the effect of efficiently burning body fat and thus it is reported that Catechin is effective for prevention of obesity and dieting.

• - Anti-Aging
  

  EGCG Epigallocatechin gallate has a strong antioxidant action, thus it provides a strong effect to remove reactive oxygen leading to aging. Catechin is also expected to prevent wrinkles and sagging of the skin.

• - Relax
  

  L-theanine content is particularly high, which is effective to soften the mood and have a relaxing effect.

• - Beautiful Skin
  

  Vitamin C contained in Matcha cooperates with catechin to suppress melanin pigment and thus it is effective for skin beautification.

• - Anti-tooth decay
  

  Fluoride compounds in Matcha are effective for tooth decay prevention and mouth deodorizing.

Buy a fresh small amount!

There are many value size packages of Matcha sold on the Internet. Is value size really a good value for your money spent?

According to experts, we'd better drink Matcha within 2 weeks once opened, because the flavor and the ingredients good for health are fairly quickly deteriorated as time passes. What kind of value do you find on the value size after the flavor and positive effects have gone?

Considering the delicate properties, our recommendation is “purchasing five of 30g package with sealed zipper” instead of a “value size”. With a 30g package, you can enjoy 15 to 20 cups of fresh Matcha tea for 2 to 3 weeks. When you finish the 1st package, the next fresh package will let you enjoy the best condition of Matcha again!

Please keep in mind that the original properties last only for a few months even in a sealed package.
