Matcha Powder NZ
NZ Protein's Matcha Green Tea is matcha powder - a metabolism boosting, fat burning superfood and powerful antioxidant.
Matcha is reported to have the nutritional value of up to 10 cups of regular green tea and up to 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea.
Matcha literally means "powdered tea." With matcha green tea, you’re drinking the actual leaves, which have been dried and then stone ground into a fine powder.
To make matcha tea, plants are covered with shade cloths before they’re harvested. This increases chlorophyll content and creates a vibrant green colour that's rich in antioxidants.
Because matcha is made from high-quality tea, and the whole leaves are ingested, it’s a more potent source of nutrients than regular green tea.
Benefits
Matcha contains a unique and potent class of antioxidant known as catechins. Among antioxidants, catechins are the most beneficial as they may offer protection against heart disease and cancer, and may be beneficial for blood sugar regulation, blood pressure reduction, and anti-aging.
One specific catechin called Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCg) makes up 60% of the catechins in matcha. Of all the antioxidants, EGCg is the most widely recognised for its metabolism boosting and cancer fighting properties.
EGCg and other catechins counteract the effects of free radicals from the likes of pollution, UV rays, radiation, and chemicals, which can lead to cell and DNA damage.
Matcha contains over 100 times more EGCg than any other tea on the market.
Directions
Mix 2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) in with your protein shake or smoothie to give it a superfood kick. It can be used as an ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes, in everything from matcha muffins, brownies and puddings, to matcha soup, stir frys, and even matcha guacamole!
It can also be made into tea by adding hot water and whisking it until frothy.

Test Reports
Here at NZProtein we always strive to be the best at what we do. We invest heavily in research and development to have innovative products and the best flavours.
We stand firmly behind our products so we have commenced periodic batch testing of products by independent third party laboratories. These test reports will provide further evidence of the standards we adhere to.
Please note that we will not be able to test every flavour due to the costs - there are simply too many flavours and various batches manufactured. For example, in the NZ Whey alone we have over 20 flavours, so it is not practicable to test every flavour in every batch but we will periodically submit samples in various flavours for analysis.
