My Journey with Matcha

My Journey with Matcha

Hey matcha lovers, I'm Nina, the co-founder of GoMatcha and I thought I would share my personal journey to discovering matcha. 🍵

Two years ago, as I navigated the demanding final year of my undergraduate studies at UCL, I found myself constantly battling chronic fatigue. No matter how much coffee I consumed, my energy levels plummeted further, dragging my mood and vitality down with it. I was trapped in a cycle of energy crashes and relentless fatigue, struggling to stay awake, let alone thrive in my studies.

The Turning Point

Everything changed when a friend introduced me to matcha. At first, I was skeptical. How could a simple green tea replace my five-cup-a-day coffee habit? But with nothing to lose, I gave it a try. That decision marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

A Remarkable Transformation

Switching to matcha had an almost immediate effect. The usual jitters, anxiety, and midday crashes I had come to associate with coffee vanished, replaced by a steady, enduring energy. Just one cup of matcha in the morning kept me energized throughout the day. No more ups and downs—just a calm, sustained alertness that seemed to light me up from within.

The Science Behind the Magic

Curious about the dramatic shift in my well-being, I delved into the science of matcha. I learned that matcha is rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without drowsiness and, when combined with caffeine, offers a unique, sustained energy boost without the crashes typical of coffee. It was clear I had not only found a remedy for my fatigue but had also tapped into an ancient source of natural wellness.

Falling in Love with Matcha

My journey didn't stop with just drinking matcha. I became fascinated by its cultural heritage, the meticulous care with which it is cultivated, and its revered status in Japanese tea ceremonies. 

Sharing the Matcha Goodness

Inspired by how matcha transformed my life, I founded GoMatcha. My goal is to share this miraculous tea with the world—to spread the word about its health benefits and the profound impact it can have on everyday life.
