Matcha

MatchaThis all-green Japanese staple is being revered for its antioxidants and energy boosting capabilities compared to its usual steepened method. Think of it as if you were chewing on green tea leaves, only they're well-ground into fine powder. Adding moderate amounts to your drink is a great way to keep up health benefits, but some are actually mixes that have added sugar for better taste. Also, tealeaves contain lead that can't be filtered since you're basically eating the leaf itself. The purer the better. Source: Health Magazine [Photo via @matcha_maiden]
