Why is there Orange Peel in my Matcha?

Studies suggest that the bioavailability of antioxidants in the green tea leaf (aka matcha in its full plant form) is much stronger when consumed with any form of vitamin c, in Matcha-Cha’s case, this would be the orange peel. Purdue University professor Mario Ferruzzi indicates that the catechins in green tea break down in the intestines as that is a non-acidic environment. As this happens, our nutrient absorption is limited to only about 20% of the actual amount of catechins consumed. It was believed by the researchers that pairing different forms of vitamin c with the green tea protected the catechins from oxidation in the intestines, leading to enhanced absorption of the nutrients. Enhanced absorption depended on the source of vitamin c, yet all sources increased absorption from anywhere from 5 to 13 times.

Are these powders organic?

What’s the difference between cocoa and cacao?

Cocoa is essentially processed cacao. It is often roasted or processed in another way to get certain flavors to come out, which in turn tends to kill a lot of antioxidants, making it not quite as beneficial as raw cacao. Raw cacao is the healthiest way to consume chocolate because it is unprocessed. It is extremely high in antioxidants and very rich in minerals.
