By definition, ‘ fortified’ means to strengthen or improve. FeelGood^® Organic Superfoods has taken this superfood to the next level with a proprietary infusion of Organic Green Tea Extract, containing 95% polyphenols and 50% EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallatte). This patent pending fortification process results in a powerhouse blend of the traditional benefits of Matcha Tea, strengthened by concentrated compounds of amino acids and additional antioxidants known as catechins. These are the properties that stabilize harmful free radicals and protect against cell damage. The medicinal benefits of traditional matcha tea are realized over an extended period of time with regular use, but our fortified version provides 600 - 650 mg per serving of polyphenols for a more immediate benefit of the bioavailable compounds.

Both green tea and matcha are derived from the same plant, but there are important differences. Green tea is made from steeping parts of ordinary green tea leaves in hot water. Matcha is made from specially grown and harvested leaves, and then the stems and veins are removed before being ground into powder.

Matcha has roughly twice the amount of EGCG and preserves many nutrients lost in the brewing process of regular green tea, such as fiber. In fact, it takes 10 - 15 cups of green tea to equal the nutrients in one cup of matcha. Matcha has more antioxidant activity than goji, pomegranate, blueberries, and açai.

Our Matcha Tea Powder is made from premium green tea leaves, sustainably grown. These leaves are specially grown for matcha, spending three weeks in the shade to incite an overproduction in chlorophyll.

The harvesting of leaves destined for matcha is very ritualistic, requiring customary tools and a traditional process. Only the finest leaves are used to make matcha tea powder.

Non-GMO, certified USDA organic, grown and harvested with great care – all this makes our Matcha Tea Powder something you can feel good about.
