Matcha is grown in the shade for the three weeks before it\u2019s harvested. UV light inhibits precious compounds in tea (and coffee, for that matter; that\u2019s why <a target=\"_blank\" data-parsed=\"shop\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.bulletproof.com\/coffee-the-original-whole-bean-12oz?utm_source=post&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=bulletproof-matcha-recipe\">Bulletproof Coffee Beans<\/a> are shade-grown too). Those 3 weeks of protection from the sun leave matcha with much higher antioxidant content than normal green tea. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Matcha is also higher in caffeine, as well as theanine, a relaxing compound that tempers the caffeine. Caffeine and theanine have a <a data-parsed=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/ingredients\/nootropics\/\" title=\"nootropic\">nootropic<\/a> effect when you combine them &#8211; together, they promote calm alertness, as well as mental endurance, short-term memory, and faster reaction time [1]. That could explain why matcha has been a favorite of Zen monks for centuries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, matcha is a striking emerald green color. It\u2019s an appealing way to start your morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9900 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Bulletproof-Lifestyle-Photography-1529.jpg\" alt=\"THE PERFECT BULLETPROOF MATCHA LATTE\" width=\"1504\" height=\"1002\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Mellow out with a Bulletproof Matcha Latte<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This matcha latte is great for mornings when you don&#8217;t want the full stimulatory effect of <a target=\"_blank\" data-parsed=\"internal, recipes exception\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/recipes\/bulletproof-diet-recipes\/bulletproof-coffee-recipe\/\">Bulletproof Coffee<\/a>.
