What Are The Health Benefits of Matcha Tea with Business Owner and Tea Connoisseur Alissa White

Have you heard of the benefits of green tea?  What about matcha green tea? If you’re like me, you might not have understood or known the difference.   For this week’s episode of the Weekend Wellness Hour Show, we interviewed tea connoisseur and Matcha Source owner, Alissa White about the health benefits of matcha.  When Alissa first learned of matcha decades ago, she felt such an impact by its odor and effect on her body that she decided to learn as much as she could.   Alissa dove head first into the matcha world and studied its production and even created Matcha Box, a pop up shop in NYC and a retail location in West Hollywood, LA.  For Alissa, drinking matcha was more than drinking tea, it was about cultivating a lifestyle.   We discussed what makes matcha different and Alissa explained the production process in detail.  She even showed us different types of matcha depending on when the leaves were harvested and how they were processed.   She also explained the numerous health benefits, including the antioxidant component that makes green tea high on health recommendations for anti-aging.  For those concerned about the caffeine inherent in the leaves, Alissa explained how l-theanine counteracts the caffeine and provides a calming effect so you can avoid the caffeine highs and lows.   Alissa provided many examples of the versatility of this powder.  It can be mixed simply with hot water to form a tea, but it can also be used in a latte, smoothie or even in a fruit bowl.    Please join us to learn more about the unique benefits of matcha green tea!!   Please feel free to reach out to Alissa White at https://matchasource.com/   -Dr. Amy Novotny   Subscribe to PABR Institute's email list for free Tips for Relief: https://pabrinstitute.activehosted.com/f/1   www.pabrinstitute.com
