Matcha powder is green tea in a dry powder form which is loaded with additional benefits besides being a powerful antioxidant. It also boosts metabolism and burns calories, provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium. I’ve read up on it on this article and were quite surprised myself.
