The harmony of matcha and citrus

Matcha and Citrus (Yuzu/Kabosu) are the Best Combination for Harmonizing Mind and Body

1. A Relaxing Time (A Fusion of Aromas and Ingredients that Tune Mind and Body)

L-theanine, an amino acid abundant in matcha, has been confirmed in human studies [*1] to promote the generation of "alpha (α) waves"—brain waves indicating a relaxed state of mind after consumption—thereby supporting calm concentration and deep tranquility.

Combining this with "D-limonene," an aromatic component found in high concentrations in kabosu and yuzu peels, recent research using physiological indicators has also reported a tendency [*2] to prioritize "parasympathetic nervous system activity," which increases during relaxation.

We propose a calming and harmonizing time enveloped in the aroma of matcha and citrus.

2. Inner Beauty and Health (Double Support for Antioxidant and Metabolism)

Research from overseas universities [*3] has reported that "catechin," an antioxidant component abundant in green tea, increases its absorption rate in the body by more than five times when consumed with "Vitamin C" and "citric acid" found in citrus fruits.

Because matcha allows you to enjoy the entire nutritional benefits of green tea, combining it with citrus enables you to absorb these natural blessings more efficiently into your body.

Furthermore, recent university research in Japan [*4] has shown a synergistic effect in human trials where citrus-derived polyphenol components support the health-promoting properties of green tea catechins (anti-obesity effects).

The blessings of nature gently support your daily healthy beauty and a refreshing, light lifestyle.
