0:00 Introduction: Matcha tea as a coffee replacement
0:30 Matcha tea benefits
1:17 Try it out!
In this video, I’m going to go over the many health benefits of matcha tea. Matcha tea is a super-concentrated green tea, made by taking the entire green tea leaf and grinding it into a fine powder.
Consuming one cup of matcha is the equivalent of consuming 10 cups of green tea, with only half the caffeine of a cup of black coffee. One serving of matcha contains around 31 mg of caffeine. Matcha green tea also contains the amino acid L-theanine which is very calming.
Here are some matcha tea benefits:
•No jittery feelings
•Feelings of calmness from L-theanine
•Provides more energy than coffee
•Improves mental clarity and endurance
•137x the phytonutrients as 1 cup of green tea
•Decreases inflammation
•Supports the immune system
Oftentimes, when people quit coffee they experience headaches and other withdrawal symptoms. If you use matcha tea as a coffee replacement, you won’t experience any of these negative side effects.

I would love to try it but what brand or where do I buy it ? I’m a Colombian Coffee, Dark Roast drinker. Please help I’m ready to try something natural.
I just began consuming matcha, and I can attest to ALL of those benefits!!! It makes me so calm, able to focus, and energy.
I’m glad to read your positive feedback. May I ask how many cups do you drink of matcha daily? And which brand has the best quality matcha? Thanks, Xochitl
@@AF0093 2-3 8oz cups per day is solid 💪
For brand, what part of the world do you reside?
@@Alch8FiMystic Thank you! Chicago.
@@AF0093 Absolutely my pleasure! And Chi-town is second home for me--with my Dad and Mrs being from the area!
Since you're in the States, check out Republic Of Tea Brain Boost, along with their other organic matcha and green tea combos.
I regularly drink their Brain Boost, and have combined it with Traditional Medicines' Matcha Green Tea brand.
I'll typically do 2-3 cups in the morn and then I'm solid throughout the day! 🍵 🕺
Hi Ms @chasity , may I know what did you use ? tsp or tbsp & how many tsp/tbsp...thank you fornyour reply
Matcha got me off coffee after years of daily use. I feel much better and I’m not craving caffeine as much. It really is longer lasting energy with no coffee crash. Thanks Dr berg.
You are so right! No more panic attacks and anxiety filled thoughts but tons of energy
I still have coffee in the mornings, but in the afternoon I have matcha, I really love it
That's what I want to start doing. I usually have two coffees a day but I'm gonna start replacing my afternoon coffee with matcha.
@@claremoloney985
Coffee has heath benefits as well so one cup of each drink a day is a good combination.
Awesome
Just started drinking matcha latte in the morning made with coconut and/or almond milk. I add MCToil and a little cinnamon. It’s delicious and doesn’t cause reflux like coffee.
So blessed to find an online doctor who can teach me. I feel like I'm in med school and I am actually learning about natural ways God wanted us to take care of our body. AMEEENNN!
It’s sooooo easy and satisfying switching from the coffee garbage I had been drinking everyday to this matcha tea. Completely love it cause it sort of replicates the texture of the flavored Starbucks and Dunkin coffees and it’s versatile like it also once experimenting with the Matcha.
What timing! I just bought my first batch yesterday and today you confirm that I made a great purchase!😁🙏🏾
I absolutely love matcha. I have just switched from coffee to it and you are correct, I had none of the nasty headaches and withdrawals after giving up my 2-3 cups a day. I buy the Nutra Organics Matcha Latte mix and it is absolutely delicious. I just put that with some hot water and a little almond milk in my NutriBullet and it makes a yummy frothy latte. Or I have it over ice with almond milk on a hot day. I’m so glad I switched
I replaced my morning coffee with a morning Matcha. I love it. I add a piece of melted dark chocolate, coconut oil, cinnamon and vanilla. It tastes so rich and earthy and it looks fantastic.
That's very nice. Thanks for the idea.
I love Matcha lattes, beautiful vibrant green colour (as a fan of Japanese cuisine) My Matcha lattes are to die for been having them for years now. A regular staple in my diet. Down side expensive to buy! Looking back I think it helped me with the transition removing coffee. I was hooked for the health benefits lol.
Just started this stuff a day ago - didn't miss my coffee. The taste isn't bad it's like a very strong green tea. Wanted to get away from the coffee because it's acidic and so can be tough on teeth. This is a great alternative. I drank mine plain just adding hot water
I like it a lot! It still delivers on the warm fuzzy feeling coffee gives me. AAAAH ...the cozy blanket of addiction.
Up to 1/3 the weight of matcha is phytonutrient content w/ large amounts of egcg. It's extremely good for you as it encourages apoptosis, fat burning, and is a potent antioxidant as well (among other benefits).
I heard about "Matcha Tea" yesterday and today you are educating about it. THANKS!!! Great little video. Cheers to you, Dr Berg!
Lately I'm drinking yerba mate as well. Not as much as people in south america probably drink, but putting some in a cup, letting it infuse for 5 minutes and then drinking with a bombilla is really enjoyable.
God bless you sir, there needs to be more doctors like you.
Matcha has been a miracle for me!
If you're going to try Matcha tea, I recommend buying the bamboo whisk that goes with it...when I first tried Matcha, the clumpiness was a turn off. Sifting the powder and the whisk help greatly with it's enjoyment. Not gonna lie, it tastes like grass but a little honey and a touch of almond milk takes care of that. 😉
Cheesesteak22 ! Clumpy ? Really . But the organic one . I bought Ceres organic powdered matcha of Japan ( not from China ) . It’s smooth and good . No clumps , no need of whisker
My marker was not clumpy it was organic as well. My problem is I just don’t feel good after drinking it. I’m used to drinking a lot of nasty stuff, I’ve been on a natural kit since I was 12. I just can’t seem to get over the tummy ache afterwards
@@DAWN4787 It hurts my tummy too sometimes.
Try buying matcha from Japan not China. You will feel the difference promise! ☺️
lol, yes clumpy...this is due to the very fine nature of the powder and static. 🤓
I'm an adrneal body type. Also have adrneal fatigue. Have been using coffee/ciggerettes for a very long time. I just made the switch two days ago.
There's quite a few videos of various Macha latte recipes as well as a which Macha to buy. Amazon also has reviews to help you choose.
Definitely buy a better quality Macha!
I used to drink very strong coffee. I am experiencing a calmer feeling from the Macha, but I also am experiencing withdrawal. But I must say, I do feel better drinking Macha and have learned to really appreciate it!
Coffee has health benefits as well but people abuse it. One cup of coffee and one cup of matcha a day can be a good combination.
I have been drinking only whole leaf teas for over 2 yrs now. I buy it from Mei Leaf, in London. Just bought some "Organic Ceremonial Matcha " tea and some "Uji Hikari Matcha" tea from Mei Leaf. They are awesome. They travel every year to China, Japan and elsewhere to source the best quality teas. Can't wait for my order to come in. Thanks for the heads up Dr Berg.
So far I´ve never been disappointed by your recommendations Doctor Berg.
Thank you very much :).

Dr. Berg, you’re my favorite UA-cam health channel 💚💚🍵
Matcha tea helps with inflammation and my Crohn’s disease... slowly gets rid of any intestinal blockages I might get ... it surely is a super food.
I put ceremonial grade Matcha on my protein shake (whole grain oats,wheatgrass honey, whey protein isolate,virgin coconut oil) and boom! Faster weight loss, observed mental clarity, more endurance and I like its taste compared to coffee. I drink this as a post workout meal (sometimes as One Meal A Day) together with supplements (fish oil, ALA, COQ10,L-carnitine and optimen multivitamins) before going to work. What a superpacked meal and I am always looking forward to it rather than getting depressed. It feels good to be healthy! 💪😁
Wow you have a link for your recipe?
@@stankssmile5865you are crazy asking for a link. Stupid
mind blowing. as I'm Japanese I didn't realize matcha tea has this amazing benefits.
I put half tea spoon matcha in my oat and I add apple and walnut or tahini. That way it's good because sometimes I find it too strong the taste of it. But it's so healthy so that I introduced it in my diet 😍
I absolutely agree!..when l 1st switched my morning brew from fresh coffee to matcha l was really sceptical...there was no way this flimsy looking tea bag could rocket me through my day...
How wrong l was..l managed to sustain my energy from 7am until lunch.. including an hour's work out cardio at the gym.
I don't know the science behind this but..it works!..
I now have iced matcha with splash of lemonade every morning...works beautifully
Hi Joanne, are you still drinking matcha green tea or did you go back to coffee? I'm thinking of switching.
@@thinkblue8089 shshsh l do both . . So your right l did switch back... but now pending my taste buds and whats left in the cuboard... l have to be honest Match tastes rank but the benefits is longer sustainable energy...coffee has better taste but short burst energy x
@@joannehaywood4708 I think I'm just going to go with organic green tea packets and add a natural sweetner like stevia or organic coconut sugar to it. Might drink black tea also. Then have coffee on occasion like weekends. thanks for your reply.
@@thinkblue8089 l can't stand the after taste of stevia but organic coconut sugar sounds good to me...
I love it, but I did want to see how you felt about it. It did take a little getting used to, maybe a few days at the most, but now I LOVE it! It's delicious!...I'm so glad to see you approve!
Absolutely been loving my Matcha mornings for years now. Took me a little to figure out buying ceremonial matcha from Japan Uji mtn is my favorite smooth and lowest lead counts.
I'm loving matcha tea, I was skeptical about the taste but I'm enjoying it. I'm having one with MCT oil. 🍵
Love Matcha tea, use it for pre-workout. I add stevia, use to have it w flaxseed/ sometimes coconut milk but recently I can’t find anything that’s pure and doesn’t give me GI issues so sticking to water in my Matcha iced tea 🍵
I made the switch and I feel great. Day 3!
Charlene.. wondering, still drinking matcha? 🙏 thank you..
Had my first cup of Bigelow matcha tea with turmeric today. It was pretty good. Gonna make it my morning ritual!
I think a balance of both beverages sounds great. Coffee is still KING.
What a coincidence, I drank a big bottle of matcha tea this afternoon after been off it for a couple of months :-)
I have been gassy and constipated for 3 days and everything went away within 90 minutes after I drank this tea.
Helps me a lot when I need to concentrate or have bowel/indigestion issues....when all else fails, matcha tea to the rescue.
You guys need to try this tea out!!!
Matcha tea with cinnamon and cloves has a wide variety of additional health benefits and it tastes so much better.
Doctor you are so superb and genuinely nice person on earth.

Lost 8kg in 7 weeks thus far following el doctor's advice. Bergy you are a true OG. Respect in every aspect, and peace in the middle east. Shalom abi.
Never had this tea before. I'll give it a try. I love my coffee 😄...in the evenings usually I'm very tiered ( having a little child, takes a lot of energy) so, I have to drink a second coffee. I'd like to drink this tea instead. I'm scared I'll hate the taste 🙃...tomorrow I'll try it out.
Thank you Dr Berg. So grateful for all your advice ☺
I love green teas. Will try this Matcha Tea. Thank you Dr. Berg.

I like coffee as a wake me up but green tea is awesome to feel evenly wakeful throughout the day. You don't feel as powered up as when you have coffee but you feel ready for just about anything. Stop having either 10-12 hours before you sleep or else you may be up all night.
yeah finally, welcome to the matcha club ! :P (btw, I still drink bullet-proof coffee on "matcha" off days).
my life really changed since i been using matcha and l-theanine its wonderfull no anxiety more focus and helped me quit drinking i just feel so great try it up everyone!
I drink this every morning and I love it 🍵
Great Idea and timely, just made morning coffee.

Hi Dr Berg. I love your videos and have learn so much. This is concerning Macha tea, why do I have a stomach ache every time I drink this. The same thing happens when I have some green powdered form of greens. I love fresh greens when I make a smoothie but I can’t seem to tolerate powdered greens. Amy idea?
I can vouch for that. Matcha butter latte + (optional) coconut milk (60% coconut from a can, not a carton). It powers you through the day with clarity and serenity, perfect for OMAD or a fat fast days ❤
I will try it sounds good
Thanks for sharing this . I've started this 4 months. i have it with a dash of lemon. No milk or sugar ..taste is great
Roslind Rampersad try it with ginger and cinnamon!! Its tastefull
Very glad to be of help.
Ok will certainly try ginger and cinnamon .Thanks for Sharing

Wow I'm on my 3rd day of transitioning from coffee to matcha and telling it to my friends. UA-cam is spying on me lol. But glad to see that it still recommends this channel. I hope this channel get more exposure to people.
Love my matcha latte 🍵 replaced coffee as my daily morning ritual
Dr berg, it's like every time I start wondering about something you make a video on it, are hi ou reading my mind haha. Thank you Dr berg, great video.
Very glad to be of help.
I usually do my matcha tea with a couple drops of sweet orange essential oil and a couple drops liquid stevia. Usually with coconut milk and coconut oil or MCT oil. I really like it! But not without the drops. Does the essential oil have an effect on ketosis?
Cool video but too short lol
I’ve always drank green tea but my intuition told me there is a better one out there
Thanks I’ll buy some 👍

I drink it everyday with frothy steamed soymilk and its like a matcha shake. Delicious!😋
Try almond milk it may be a healthier option or an alternative to have every now and then.
Love it Starbucks green tea latte Matcha is awesome..
Love Matcha downside too expensive to buy lol
I love matcha! have it everyday with a scoop of collagen. Yum!
Awesome!
Thank you I enjoy this during keto eat and non eat days. Can you do a post for "Yerba Mate" tea also
I'm not a coffee drinker but I love my matcha tea. I will say this about it first and most important be careful where you get your matcha. Places like Starbucks add a lot of sugar and crap in theirs. Second take some time and learn the proper way to prepare it. There's plenty of videos here on UA-cam showing you how.
kantill true, Starbucks Matcha is horrible.. Very low quality and they add too much sweetener.. I make my own now ... I buy organic Japanese matcha and it’s amazing.
kantill Ditto! :)
Great! Been drinking black tea with matcha. But will try it alone.
Awesome!
I just discovered matcha. Thanks for the video!
Most welcome!
Just got some. It's awesome. Thanks

This is my challenge to myself!! Coffee is so acidic!! Worst bathroom trips multiple times each morning should inspire me to switch!!! Love ur videos Dr Berg!! Ty!!!!
:)
@Ashwini Sharma GTFO with your shitty advices
Wow thought i was the only one lol
well it is too acidic or it is bitter? those are different things, because when it is bitter it is burned coffee, I can handle pretty much everything about coffee, literally all my family can have a muy before and they can sleep, also I drink the coffee in espresso like way using a moka pot, Italian coffee make that makes the coffee super concentrated, I drink it straight without sugar and it doesn't wake me up either, before any people assuming I withdraw coffee several times without headaches and any of that stuff
Try cold brew dark roasted Arabica and even add a pinch (a small pinch) of baking soda, if you want a less acidic coffee... Lower the roast, greener the coffee and more acidic the contents.
i love my Matcha i drink it every day and it also gives me a lot of boost plus it helps when fasting 👌🏾😊
You 'CAN' get flavoured matcha, I had one on vacation that was kiwi flavoured. It was excellent.
Bie M can I drink it when fasting?
Kid Perfect I think so...
Ashwini Sharma So does coffee by itself...add honey/sweetener of choice 😉
Ashwini Sharma u can add lemon to it and it masks that bad taste
Good information!👍🏼
I'm glad you liked this post.
There are so many elements to prostate cancer treatment, iodine, no dairy, no alcohol, Japanese mushroom spore powder, krill oil, K2 to try to keep the bones healthy, selenium, NAC to stop cancer cell spread, CBT etc. However your expertise would help to clarify the issue in one video. If you have the time please make a video

I have definitely reduced my coffee to one cup when I get to work. Then I move on to caffeine teas after that but have never tried Matcha but will definitely give it a try.
Philip Mc Adam I recommend buying the bamboo whisk that goes with it...when I first tried Matcha, the clumpiness was a turn off. Sifting the powder and the whisk help greatly.
Thank you for the advice. I will get one on way home from work today. I bought some yesterday and have taken it to work to try after my coffee.
Philip Mc Adam I've found adding some cinnamon along with almond milk and honey to be quite enjoyable 😉 (approx. 4oz filtered hot water added to 1-2 tsp Matcha/shake or two of cinnamon powder with 4oz warm almond milk sweetened with 1-2 tsp honey) 😋
Must try that myself thank you for the tip
Thanks Dr. Berg...do you have info on/recommend Moringa powder? I've been seeing that more and more lately. 👍
Very glad to be of help.
Would you become addictive to it still because of the caffine
So glad I stopped drinking coffee and switched to this!
had my first cup of matcha today and it was okay, i used sweetener to counter the bitter part, then it started to getting better and when i added milk it was so delicious i drank like 4 cups lol
@Justin Bieber all matcha is from japan and organic
@Justin Bieber if you say so
Good quality matcha doesn't taste bitter at all!
I actually like to add some butter and sea salt to my matcha :)
Thanks for the video Dr. Berg, you said it is like a green tea with steroids but it also have the side effects of the green tea? Like inhibit the iron absorption and some other nutrients, or you recommend to drink it 2-3 hours after meals?
I always enjoy your videos. Can you please recommend a brand for Organic Matcha Green Tea? Thank you.
Hi! Dr. Berg doesn't have a video on this, but thanks for the suggestion for an upcoming video.

If I've gotten myself completely off of caffeine should I start drinking matcha? I do enjoy it, but is it better to not drink it at all or are there so many benefits that you should drink it?
And if you should drink it is it better to drink it plain, or can we add a tiny bit of milk or something like that?
@Dr. Berg: Any chance you could do a video on Yerba Mate vs Coffee sometime? The opinions seem to differ on this beverage. Some claims are that it is very healthy and has more antioxidants than coffee other sources and studies claim that it increases your chance of contracting several different types of cancer. Any chance you could clear up some of this confusion? Thank you!
Hi I'm still new to tea stuffs since I've never acknowledged it's benefits especially the smell before but now I drink my teas in the afternoons. I was told that they're diuretic so I was wondering if consuming too much macha teas could cause me constipation? (have a sensitive stomach so i get bloated easily... Any advice/ tips?)
Great video! This awesome for me. I can't drink drink coffee due to high blood pressure, but sometimes i need the energy that caffeine provides. Perfect option for me. Thanks for sharing!
Is matcha lowering or increase blood pressure ? Is it safe for people with low blood pressure? Thanks in adv
