Matcha is definitely a “favorite” ingredient at O’terra. Many of you have asked us what makes it so special to us.
First of all, here are a few reasons why matcha consumption is interesting:
1. It is a healthy source of energy
Matcha, like coffee & energy drinks, contains caffeine. However, unlike these types of beverages, the caffeine in matcha follows a process that avoids the energy crash and peak. The effect of matcha is therefore spread over a longer period of time, which is also healthier for the body!
2. Is a rich source of antioxidants
Matcha is considered to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants. In fact, the polyphenol found in green tea is the most abundant antioxidant in matcha. It is beneficial for the body, as it helps to promote and maintain cardiovascular health by regulating blood pressure.
3. Boost the metabolism
The polyphenols contained in matcha allow to increase the metabolism, which facilitates the consumption of calories. This is why this antioxidant is often associated with weight loss!
4. Enhances the ”good mood”.
Matcha also contains a significant amount of L-Theanine. This natural amino acid helps improve mood and relaxation while minimizing stress and anxiety.
Admit it, the benefits generated by consuming matcha on our organism are impressive!
Well, we’re happy to report that it doesn’t stop here.
Now here are the reasons why we are so motivated to incorporate them into our skin care routines:
- Has a soothing effect
- Has an anti-inflammatory action
- Protects the epidermis with its powerful antioxidants
- Contains anti-aging properties
- Contains toning properties
- Contains regenerating properties

Matcha is definitely a must-have and that’s why we love using it in many of our natural products such as:

- Hyaluronic acid, matcha & mandarin serum
- Glowing face scrub
