Many of you have requested FoodieGuru approved Matcha powder brands that can be bought from Amazon. Not all matcha is good matcha, the quality of the leaves, the way it was processed all contribute to the end product.
We all already know that Matcha is amazing, it is:
- High in antioxidants – great for skin health, prevent negative effects of UV radiation, and good for weight loss.
- Boosts memory and concentration. Matcha Tea is one of the best coffee substitute without caffeine jitters. It’s a good, clean energy.
- Increase energy levels and endurance
- High in amino acid L-Theanine, Chlorophyll, vitamin A, E and K.
- A natural detoxifier for the body – naturally removing heavy metals and bad toxins from the body
- Improve your immune system and cholesterol
So we present to you the top 2 choices.

I’ve heard green tea is not good for the kidneys and, only having one, I need to be careful. Is this true?

Green tea is fine for the kidneys especially these ones 🙂 depending on how much matcha powder you put in, 1 a day is better for those who have health concerns.

Because it is much much cheaper (even after adding the delivery cost) it is still 1/3 of the price in Amazon.
