What to Look For in a Matcha Powder

Rutin is a powerful antioxidant that works along with vitamin C to enhance the body’s cardiovascular system and strengthen blood vessels. It has anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Because different people may have different preferences when it comes to the strength of their drink, and because different brands may recommend a different serving size, it’s best to start with the serving size recommended on the brand of matcha you are using, and then tailor that to your personal taste. These include vitamin C, enzyme cofactors like hyaluronic acid, and protective dietary and antioxidant compounds which may modulate collagen damage. Matcha naturally contains caffeine, so the vast majority of matcha powders are caffeinated. Some brands sell decaf matcha, but it's uncommon. A serving of matcha contains 40 to 70 milligrams of caffeine on average.
