Organic Matcha Fuel

£24.95

Born in the beautiful mountainous region of Kagoshima, Japan, our renowned ceremonial-grade matcha is grown only once a year from our exclusive, award-winning family farm. It consists of only the utmost finest first harvest baby leaves, which have been shade grown for up to 25 days in mineral rich, volcanic soil, and then traditionally stone milled into a fine velvety powder for maximum strength.

Packed full of brain-boosting amino acids, and bacteria-fighting antioxidants, every serving is highly concentrated with nutrients such as polyphenols, antioxidants and l-theanine that will have you launching into a transcendent state of alpha brain-wave nirvana.

Enjoy a deeply rich and balanced flavour profile, boasting notes of creamy dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut, with a very smooth yet floral umami finish.

Most commonly used for: Matcha tea, iced matcha tea, lattes, smoothies, blended drinks

Since 100% of the leaf is consumed, you're also ingesting all of the lead. If the tea leaves were high in lead, then the matcha becomes highly contaminated.

Why is this a concern? Excessive exposure to lead can cause reduced brain function and motor skills. It's the most common contaminant in urban soils.

High levels of not only lead but other potentially dangerous metals are found in lesser quality matcha.

OUR APPROACH

Heavy metals find their way into matcha when brands grow on huge industrial farms with poor soil quality and heavy reliance on chemical fertilisers and pesticides. They then skip the all important heavy metal checks to save their precious profit margins, resulting in matcha that is potentially toxic to our health.

Seeing this research made us even more determined to produce the healthiest, cleanest and safest matcha on the planet. This is why we only source the highest quality matcha and batch test our products to ensure they are 100% safe.

Matcha is the most premium variety of shade-grown Japanese green tea leaves that are stone ground into a fine powder. For centuries, monks have enjoyed matcha to support well-being and concentration during meditation, and samurai warriors before battle to help them stay calm and alert.

In fact, one serving is equivalent to 10 cups of regular green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content. That's why it's used as an energy boost that promotes great health and supports your immune system, so you can be more productive and energised for the things you love.

Our growing region is so unique due to the subtropical climate with distinct seasons, and a precipitation pattern that provides the perfect growing conditions.

The high-altitude, fresh air and mineral-rich, volcanic soil is what makes the leaves so nutrient-dense and the perfect location to blend our potent matcha.

Here are a few reasons why we're so different:

The plants are shade-grown in volcanic soil for up to 25 days before harvest to boost nutrient production.
In the spring, only the finest leaves are selectively handpicked. It takes a true tea master to know when and what leaves to use.
The leaves are then steamed and dried after harvest to preserve flavour and nutrients.
De-stemming and de-veining of the leaves are done to improve the texture and taste of the powder.
The leaves are then lightly roasted and slowly stone milled for up to 1 hour (per 30g), whilst being pulverised into a fine powder - keeping delicate nutrients intact.
The finished matcha is packaged into special airtight, high grade packaging to prevent oxidation from air and light, whilst maintaining optimum freshness.

We only stone-mill our fresh organic leaves to meet demand, which ensures optimum freshness and potency. We NEVER store our matcha for months on end.

Lastly, we shade-grow the plants at the right time of the season to develop higher levels of focus boosting amino acids, improve the flavour, reduce bitterness, and yield higher levels of strong antioxidants and calming amino acids.

Increased Alertness & Productivity - Matcha contains 35mg of caffeine (per serving) for that extra kick, but unlike a cup of coffee matcha gradually releases the caffeine into your body for a period of up to 6 hours. This is due to a rare natural energy boosting amino acid called L-theanine -- which gives you sustainable energy and focus throughout the day, without any side effects that are associated with caffeine consumption, such as the 'jitters', a crash, anxiety or mood plummets.

Promotes Weight Loss - According to research published in the American Journal of Nutrition, matcha has been shown to increase thermogenesis (the rate at which our bodies burn calories) from 8-10% to 35-43%. Matcha can also boost metabolism and increase fat burning by up to 17% without raising blood pressure or heart rate. A 2005 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that participants who drank catechin-rich green tea daily dropped almost twice as much weight in 12 weeks as participants who didn't. They also found that the catechins are associated with reduced BMI and waist circumference.

Protects From Cell Damage & Lower Risk Of Chronic Diseases - According to Harvard research, green tea is the best food source of a group of antioxidants known as catechins. Research has shown catechins (such as EGCG) to be more powerful than both vitamins C and E in stopping oxidative damage to cells. They also appear to have other disease-fighting abilities. Published in the Journal of Chromatography, the results were groundbreaking. The researchers discovered that, “The concentration of EGCG available from drinking matcha is 137 times greater than the amount of EGCG available from China Green Tips green tea".

Enhances Cognitive Function & Boosts Memory - Matcha contains high amounts of L-theanine, an amino acid that increases the production of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. According to research published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Nutrition, the increased production of dopamine and serotonin helps you to learn and perform better. These two chemicals serve to enhance mood, improve memory, and promote better concentration for up to 6 hours without a crash.

Improve Skin Health - The catechins in matcha help protect and reduce your skin from free radicals, preventing signs of ageing. Due to the amazing anti-inflammatory properties of EGCG, it also helps treat rosacea and even acne by reducing redness. In a study published by the Medical College of Georgia, the EGCG found in green tea rejuvenated surface skin cells that would otherwise die. Not only does matcha reduce inflammation, it also stimulates elastin production to add volume to the skin, while protecting against free radicals that cause sun damage, age spots, dry skin, and yes, wrinkles. This is why some people use it directly on their faces!

Strengthens Immune System - One cup of our matcha has as many nutrients and antioxidants as 10 cups of regular green tea. It's packed with exponentially more antioxidants than any other superfood, including chlorophyll. Chlorophyll in matcha is a very effective detoxifier that can aid in the elimination of unwanted toxins, chemicals and heavy metals from your body. Chlorophyll increases the blood’s capacity to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to cells within the body, which helps the body regenerate and cleanse itself at the cellular level. Consuming a daily cup of matcha is an easy way to incorporate detoxification into your everyday life.

I love this and customer service in A+++

I bought Matcha Fuel, hoping for the best but honestly fearing the worst. I didn’t get around to trying it for weeks after purchase. Lots of reasons why. I got an email saying my subscription had failed. The wonderful customer service team put ahold on my subs as I hadn’t actually started using the tea. But WOW! I don’t like green tea. Never have. This has change my life. Literally! It is mild. It is absolutely drinkable and actually really nice. The helpful recipes are great to mix it up a little. I am a Matcha Fuel convert. I feel great, more energy, less hungry and overall I feel 10 years younger. Thank you so much ❤️

Best matcha I’ve ever tried

I’ve tried a lot of matcha brands atleast over 10 and matcha fuel is by far the best I’ve tried.

Happy to try something new

Happy to try something new, I felt after 10 days I had the opportunity to try different ways of having matcha... best way was to add it to smoothies as it did not dissolve completely in a hot water... I also loved matcha latte with almond milk...

Wonderfully surprised

Made my first iced matcha latte with coconut milk..delicious! Looking forward to trying more. The taste is great, not bitter at all. Need more time to know benefits.

I thought it would be hard to give up coffee but I was wrong!

I'm 3 weeks in to my discovery of Matcha Fuel. I used to drink a lot (way too much!) coffee - I'd sink 3 strong cups even before the school run each morning, and would crave and consume more coffee as I continued my day. Since switching to Matcha Fuel, I haven't missed my coffee at all and I've loved trying out different smoothie recipes from the 7 day challenge. I have more energy first thing in the morning now which is sustained throughout the day without the massive mid-afternoon crash I got with coffee. It took a week or so for my taste buds to adjust, but I now really enjoy my morning cup (or 2) of matcha. My skin is also better which I don't think is a coincidence. I'm definitely converted to a Matcha Fuel way of life! So glad I gave it a try with the free sticks.
