Every January we run the OMGTea Matcha Challenge where we ask participants to have a minimum of one serving of matcha every day for 21 days. At the end of the Challenge, participants complete a survey to reflect on their experience and they are entered into a prize draw to win Matcha for a year (1 x AAA Grade 30g tin every month for 12 months). I brought this over a week ago and I am already in love with it! It taste so good with spoonful of honey. I researched before I brought it and this is the best quality as its very fine and not bitter. This helps me with intermittent fasting and keeps me energised. I totally recommend it!” We like to think that consuming matcha daily is that small action or snowball at the beginning that can lead to bigger positive changes. It is a simple thing that we can all do to support our health and well-being, which is positive on its own but can also encourage us to make other changes or do other things that are good for us.

Rich in fibre and chlorophyll, quality matcha also contains vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc, and magnesium. With an abundance of antioxidants, including the powerful EGCg, it’s not surprising that matcha is often referred to as the superfood of all superfoods but what does that mean for our health?

A ritual when I have my tea is to take a moment to look at nature and be thankful. When I don’t have my morning matcha, I don't do that! Preparing my matcha in the morning is a ritual I look forward to - my form of meditation and allowing myself to be more mindful and present. I find it a positive way to start my morning and sets me up for the rest of the day! I have noticed improved mental clarity and a focused yet calming energy. I found myself to be in the present moment. I noticed things in my surroundings and could take in so much information, which I have never experienced before. I do feel more mindful and less distracted. My periods of deep work have lengthened because of this, and I feel more peaceful and capable of completing one task after another quite simply and mindfully. 67% of participants noticed improvements to their skin. Since my diagnosis, I am acutely aware of the second chance I have been given and try and regularly push myself outside of my comfort zone to experience as many different experiences as possible. Examples range from going to the Opera, learning to play the drums and my most recent challenge, swimming with Basking sharks off the west coast of Scotland. My mantra is to try not to sweat the small stuff and live life to the max. 😊 The OMGTea 60 Second Interview

Matcha contains Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll increases the blood’s distribution of oxygen and nutrients in your body while also helping your body to regenerate cells. Chlorophyll also reduces the production of gas and toxins that occur during digestion and contributes to protecting the liver. This helps to improve liver function, which can increase your body’s ability to flush out toxins. Throughout the year we also do a variety of ad hoc giveaways, sometimes partnering with groups of other brands. If you are interested in entering these competitions, we suggest you follow us on our social media accounts, which is where we will be announcing details.
