As true lovers of Matcha tea, we never give up a good cup of tea for breakfast or for a break in the afternoon!
Furthermore, thanks to its beneficial properties such as antioxidants and anti-aging polyphenols, it is definitely a product that you cannot do without.
Great also for the younger ones, thanks to L-theanine which stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin that together provide greater concentration and memory stimulation.
So matcha proves to be essential for our body, but what about the environment? Let's find out together if the Matcha tea is also eco-friendly!
Is Matcha tea eco-friendly?
We reassure you right away, Matcha tea seems to be one of the most eco-sustainable beverages among coffee and tea, so don't worry you can continue to drink it without harming the environment!
Starting from the production process, matcha tea is produced by using the whole tea leaf, resulting in minimal waste. Furthermore, a matcha tea plant can live for over 50 years making it sustainable at the plantation level.
For example, unlike Matcha, producing a cup of coffee requires 37 gallons of water: almost as much as the water used for a daily shower, in addition to the use of pesticides and chemicals that harm the environment, which does not happen with green tea.
However, there is an important choice to make: the packaging in which the powder is enclosed could contribute to waste of harmful materials such as plastic, which are difficult to recycle. We recommend choosing tea packaged in tin boxes, which can be reused, or choosing the powder packaged all together rather than in single-use sachets.
