Sweet Watermelon Matcha will get your taste buds singing as well as the rest of your body. Not only are green teas, like the matcha base we've used, high in antioxidant activity, it's also known to contain a polyphenol known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This powerful little compound is thought to boost heart health and reduce inflammation in the body. A restorative boost of tea sweetened by natural cane sugar is a juicy treat your body will enjoy.

Caffeine content: Medium - This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of green tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 22 to 29 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.
Antioxidant Content: Medium - When consuming matcha you actually consume all the tea leaves. Scientific testing in Japan has indicated that on account of this fact the antioxidant benefit of matcha can be up to 5-9 greater then with normal green tea consumed in the conventional manner.
