Matcha is a green tea that originated in Japan. People adore it for its amazing health benefits, and despite the fact that it contains a lot of caffeine, it is still considered the greatest green tea available. The Japanese beverage is gradually spreading to other parts of the world. People prefer this to other green teas on the market because it has the highest antioxidant content.
