Therefore the combination of the two is not only delicious and comforting in taste but is also the winning combo for increased energy and performance during your workouts.

"You guys are the best, and you have a life-long customer in me.  The Matcha Cacao is really helping me cut my coffee consumption. I recently went 3 weeks without a single cup of coffee. And this is coming from someone used to drinking a small pot, just in the morning! No coffee withdrawal headaches either! I am down to having a coffee more like a treat every once in a while;  maybe once every couple of weeks.   I feel a lot clearer in the morning, if that makes sense, rather than that shaky-wakey feeling. It's a "cleaner" wake up with the tea than it is with coffee. I'm really surprised at how easy the transition has been. A few months ago, I couldn't imagine a morning without a small pot of coffee. The tea certainly makes me feel better than the coffee every did, and I don't even really miss the coffee at all.   Love this stuff. Just love it"! -  J.D. Canada

Cacao and exercise…

Recent studies reported in NYTimes.com have linked cacao to an increase in energy and endurance with exercise. How does cacao boost energy for your fitness workouts? Cacao actually helps to produce more energy within the muscles. The flavanols in cacao have shown to increase the amount of mitochondria production within the muscle – mitochondria is responsible for cellular energy.

In a study cited by NYTimes.com, researchers explained that it only takes a very small amount of dark chocolate to experience a sustained increase in energy. Rather than munch on a dark chocolate bar why not get the most impact and nutrition from chocolate and eat it in its whole superfood form as Cacao power which is one of the main ingredients in our Matcha Cacao along with Matcha tea.

Cacao as a Superfood…

On the health side, ground up raw cacao beans are considered a superfood that is nutritious, rich in antioxidants, minerals such as iron, vitamins, and even 6 mg of protein per ounce! So, the takeaway is that if you eat dark chocolate in its natural state, there is absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.
