Europe and the United States have set off a matcha trend. Recently, many European and American cafes have launched matcha drinks, from irons, milkshakes to desserts, and various matcha products have been sought after. There is a health network, Alice Porter, who actually did not drink coffee for a week and instead drank matcha, unexpectedly found that his spirit was longer and his anxiety was lighter.

Matcha is a powder ground from green tea leaves. Nutritionist Sophie Medlin pointed out that compared to ordinary green tea, matcha contains higher concentrations of nutrients and antioxidants because the whole piece of tea leaves is poured into the drink. In addition, matcha has a lower caffeine content than coffee, and it contains the amino acid L-theanine that promotes relaxation, which can help people stay awake more peacefully.

The name network shared red. After drinking matcha instead, I have five major feelings:

1. The pressure is obviously lighter, and I will no longer be nervous in the morning.

2. Energetic time is longer and there is no need to add extra afternoon tea.

3. Although there is no immediate refreshing feeling of coffee, the energy is more lasting.

4. The taste needs appropriate time and the bottom will feel grainy.

5. It is recommended to add sweet and bitter taste such as honey.

But she also emphasized that matcha is not a choice to replace coffee. "The two drinks have their own advantages. When I feel anxious or expect to have a long work, I will choose matcha; but sometimes I still want to have a cup of mellow coffee in the morning." She believes that the ideal way is to choose according to my body's condition and needs.

Nutritionists remind that although matcha is indeed healthy, adding sweeteners such as sugar may increase calories. Consumers are advised to pay attention to their intake while enjoying the flavor.
