(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 04, 2015 ) Glendale, Arizona -- Almost 80% of American household's consumer tea and over half drink tea daily. Studies show green tea is growing at a much higher rate than black tea, up more than 60% in volume over the last ten years. Americans are becoming self-aware and health-conscious, by choosing refreshing beverages that contain no sodium, fat, carbonation, or sugar. Green tea is virtually calorie-free.
Every day, new findings from the international scientific community lend credibility to green tea's healthy properties. As research continues, here are some exciting recent findings:
Individuals who regularly consume three or more cups of green tea powder per day have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. The research suggests that drinking tea can offer significant heart health benefits ranging from reducing heart attack risk to lowering Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, or "bad" cholesterol.
Research suggests drinking calorie-free green tea may help with weight management; due to the effective antioxidants (flavonoids), the principle player Catechin EGCg (iMaccha contains 83% per gram) helps elevate metabolic rate, increase fat oxidation and improve insulin activity. The Catechin EGCg found in green tea powder can also provide modest shifts in metabolism that may improve weight loss and maintenance. The weight loss benefits of green tea powder vary based on many factors, but studies have found benefits with the equivalent of as little as 3 cups per daily.
Matcha (powdered green tea) is used in Japan's formal tea ceremonies, daily drinking pleasures and as a delicious ingredient in countless recipes. Matcha is respected for its high concentration of nutrients (L-Theanine and EGCg powerhouse amino acids) as well as its distinctive flavor. iMaccha is postured for the American market by offering premium quality ceremonial grade green tea powder at an affordable price.
