Why Shade Matcha is your best option
Shade matcha is your best option because it has more antioxidants and higher levels of chlorophyll than other types of matcha. It is also grown in cooler temperatures and shadier conditions, making it slightly sweeter and better tasting than other varieties. Shade matcha also retains its green color better after brewing due to the additional chlorophyll content. The high antioxidant content means it can help reduce inflammation in the body, as well as boost metabolism and support overall health.
