What Makes Matcha (Japanese Tea Powder) Special?

This green tea is high in antioxidants, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which supports metabolism and may reduce inflammation.

It also contains many detoxifying properties, since the leaves are shade-grown, which boosts chlorophyll levels.

Why Use Mānuka Honey?

Unlike regular honey, Mānuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO), which gives it its powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a natural remedy used for sore throats, gut health, wound healing, and even skincare.

Look for a UMF rating (Unique Mānuka Factor) to ensure you’re getting genuine, high-quality Mānuka from New Zealand.

Final Tip

For best results, don’t heat Mānuka honey at high temperatures; its active enzymes are most effective when consumed raw or lightly warmed.
