L-theanine
Matcha green teas L-Theanine starts production in the roots of the plant. The L-theanine moves
into the stem and then the leaves of the plant. Mikamatcha’s tea is grown in the shade with no direct contact to the sunrays. The consistency of the L-Theanine stays intact with the amount and its properties keeping it potent to the maximum degree. Our analytical tests on the tea leaves show that Mikamatcha has an L-Theanine content higher than 4,000mg/100g. That is one of the best in the world. The reason for this higher amount of L-theanine is that the cultivating farmers wait for a period of 5 years instead of 3 which most other green tea farmers do allowing maximum rooting for the plants to gain the most nutrition.
