Introduction
Matcha is a special culinary and industrial powder used in many products. Originating from Japan, the powder is believed to bring consumers a myriad of benefits. However, not all matcha consumers know the exact answer to how many cups of matcha tea a day is good for their bodies. Take a look at this post to find the best response to all questions relating to matcha and matcha consumption.
How many cups of matcha tea a day should I drink? And how much matcha for a cup
How many cups of matcha tea a day should be drunk depends on your specific purposes. In general, it is believed that you need at least 2 grams or 2 servings of matcha a day to reap the full and long list of its health benefits such as potent antioxidant properties. However, for cognitive performance or potential protection against neurodegeneration, it is recommended to drink 4 grams / 4 servings of matcha powder a day can work best.
While the above recommendations are from researchers who have conducted professional experiments on the consumption of many caffeinated products including matcha, the best answer is your body’s need. Listen to your body and your demands and you can know exactly how many cups of matcha tea a day works best for you.
In addition, how much matcha you need for a cup depends on your preference. Normally, it is suggested that a combination of 2 grams( 1-2 teaspoons) of pure matcha powder in a 200 ml cup and 2 ounces ( 59ml) of hot water should be the most perfect one.
For a thinner tea, a half teaspoon of matcha ( 1 gram) should be mixed with 3-4 ounces (89-118 ml) of hot water. But if you want a more concentrated version, 2 teaspoons (4 grams) of pure matcha powder should be added to about 1 ounce (30ml) of hot water. Know your taste and you will determine the amount of matcha tea you need per day.

What are the benefits if I drink Matcha every day?
Matcha powder not only has a delicious taste and distinctive flavor but also brings drinkers a myriad of health benefits. In comparison with green tea, matcha contains the nutrients from the entire tea leaf so it has a greater amount of caffeine and antioxidants. Here are the outstanding benefits to consume Matcha powder every day.
Reduce cell damage and prevent chronic disease
Matcha is high in natural antioxidants due to its richness in catechins (up to 137 times greater than green tea). Catechins are a class of plant compounds in tea and a source of beneficial antioxidants which help to stabilize many harmful radicals. These radicals are believed to damage cells and cause chronic diseases.
In particular, a mixing of matcha powder and hot water can contain many nutrients that are beneficial to drinkers’ health.
As a result, drinking matcha every day helps to prevent cell damage and lower the risk of many chronic diseases.
Protect the liver
The liver plays an important role in flushing out toxins, metabolizing drugs, and processing nutrients. Drinking matcha every single day is an ideal way to protect the liver. In fact, many studies have been conducted to prove the positive effect of daily matcha consumption on kidneys and liver.
Typically, a study on 80 people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease intaking 500 mg of matcha extract daily for 90 days is an example. The study then found that matcha extract significantly reduced liver enzyme levels. These enzymes are regarded as a marker of liver damage.
However, this effect should be examined in the general population so that the results can be more persuasive.
Boost brain function
Because reasonable caffeine consumption can help to improve brain function, cite faster reaction times, increase attention, and enhance memory. Matcha is a great powder for brain function as it contains both caffeine and L-theanine that help to promote alertness and avoid crashes in energy levels.
In addition, L-theanine also increases alpha wave activity in the brain which helps to induce relaxation and decrease stress levels.
For containing such ideal compounds, Matcha is believed to boost cognitive function and have positive effects on the brain. However, it is better to consume a reasonable amount of matcha every day to optimize the benefits of this special powder.
Prevent cancer
Matcha is high in epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a type of catechin that has been shown to have powerful anti-cancer properties. This effect is tested by several animal studies. These studies have proved that EGCG is effective against skin, lung, and liver cancer.
However, these results haven’t translated to humans and EGCG is only a specific compound of Matcha. Therefore, it needs more studies to show that Matcha may inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Promote heart health
Matcha has been shown to reduce “ bad” LDL cholesterol as well as triglycerides. It is also believed to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Therefore, it may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Lose weight
Matcha, similar to green tea, can help to speed up metabolism which increases energy expenditure and boosts fat burning. Green tea is an inevitable ingredient in many weight loss supplements.
As a result, matcha may aid weight loss efficiently.
What is the best time to drink Matcha?
Apart from knowing how many cups of matcha tea a day you should drink, it is necessary to know what is the greatest time to enjoy such beneficial powder. It is recommended that
the best time to drink matcha is in the morning and mid-afternoon because, at such time tracks, consumers need to intake products that help them boost their daily energy, alertness, and concentration.
For weight-loss purposes, however, it is ideal to drink matcha approximately 30 minutes before a workout to get the best effect of this beneficial powder.

Typical growing & harvesting methods
Our tea growing and harvesting must ensure the best quality of matcha powder with the unique shade-grown and hand-picked method.
Tea leaves are covered for roughly 20 days before being collected from gardens to avoid 90% sunlight. Under that ideal condition, the chlorophyll in the tea leaves will increase intensely, darken their color, sweeten their taste, and retain more nutrients (especially antioxidants).
Tea leaves are collected with the hand-picked method to ensure the freshness and quality of the powder after being processed.
Furthermore, FGC controls the tea growing process to ensure tea leaves will not have pesticide residues. Complying with VietGAP & Organic standards, the use of fertilizers and pesticides must be carefully recorded to ensure health safety before harvesting.
