According to studies documented by American Physiological Society, there are numerous health benefits of matcha green tea. Matcha contains high concentrations of EGCG, which has been shown to increase the rate of burning stored fat as energy as well as decreasing the formation of new fat cells. Other studies have shown that catechins in Matcha can increase the rate of calories burned by the body.
