The Truth About Matcha: Why MannaBrew Is the Better Choice

Matcha has become a popular health trend, often praised as a green superdrink that boosts focus and energy. But few people know that this concentrated tea powder can also come with side effects when used regularly. While matcha may look healthy on the surface, it can quietly work against your body’s balance.

If you love a daily cup that gives you calm, steady energy without side effects, MannaBrew is the gentler, caffeine-free choice that fits perfectly into a healthy lifestyle.

What Makes Matcha Different

Matcha is made from green tea leaves that are shaded before harvest and ground into a fine powder. When you drink matcha, you are consuming the entire leaf instead of a steeped extract. This makes it far stronger than ordinary green tea and increases your exposure to all its compounds, good and bad.

That includes caffeine, tannins, and catechins in high concentrations. While these substances can offer benefits in small amounts, they may also cause problems for your body when taken in excess.

The Hidden Risks of Matcha

1. Caffeine Overload

Matcha contains caffeine levels that can lead to jitters, restlessness, and anxiety, especially in sensitive individuals. It can also raise heart rate and blood pressure. Drinking matcha late in the day often disrupts sleep and causes next-day fatigue, creating a cycle of dependency.

2. Liver Stress

The catechins in matcha, particularly EGCG, are powerful antioxidants, but in high doses they have been linked to liver strain. Green tea extracts and excessive matcha use have caused reported cases of liver injury in otherwise healthy adults.

3. Iron Blocker

Matcha can reduce your body’s ability to absorb iron from plant-based foods. For vegetarians, vegans, women, or anyone prone to low iron, regular matcha use may increase the risk of deficiency. Drinking matcha separately from meals can help, but the effect still adds up over time.

4. Stomach Irritation

The combination of caffeine and bitter polyphenols can irritate the stomach lining, leading to nausea or digestive discomfort. For people with acid reflux or gastritis, matcha may worsen symptoms.

5. Contaminants in the Leaf

Because matcha is made from the entire tea leaf, any heavy metals, pesticides, or excess fluoride in the soil are consumed as well. These can build up in the body over time, especially when the product is sourced from areas with poor soil regulation.
