If you are not already aware of what matcha green tea is, it is basically a tea that is exclusive to particular regions of Japan (especially in the Kyoto prefecture). What makes it so special is the way that it is grown (under bamboo sheets for the final few months of production - to allow the leaves to fill with chlorophyll) and the way that it is processed (ground, on traditional stone mills).
The fact that, with matcha, you are actually consuming the tea leaves themselves, as opposed to the steeped water with traditional green teas, means that you receive all the same health benefits, but amplified.
Energy-boosting
Contrary to popular belief, matcha green tea does actually contain caffeine.
Now, to many, this may be seen as a bad thing, but with matcha, there is also a natural amino-acid derivative called L-Theanine (a natural mood enhancer) which works in combination with the caffeine to deliver a sustainable release of energy over 6 hours.

So unlike coffee, where you receive a huge rush of caffeine-fuelled energy, then the next moment you are burnt-out. Matcha actually prolongs this energy release provided by caffeine, to keep you alert and active all day long.
