What matcha really does for your gut, brain and heart health

With its eye-poppingly vivid green colour and earthy taste, matcha has a rich and healthy history going back centuries. It was long prized in traditional tea-making ceremonies founded by Buddhist monks, who believed the drink was a medicine which helped you live longer.

Now, the fine powder, made from green tea leaves, is all over the British high street and on every social media feed in town: pepping up lattes, popping up in puddings and giving the nation a sufficient jolt of alertness, but without the added jitters that coffee can bring.

But there are more health benefits lurking in this Kermit-coloured concoction than meets the eye.

“Matcha contains powerful antioxidants, water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin K and some dietary fibre too, which is important for digestive health,” says Dr Sammie Gill, a registered dietitian and British Dietetic Association spokesperson.
