Ricki Heller, RHN, PhD is a holistic nutritionist, whole foods chef, writer and diet coach.
Compelled to follow a restricted, gluten-free, anti-candida diet that allows no eggs, no dairy products, and no refined sugars (along with a dozen or so other verboten food types), I have been forced to carefully and consciously manage everything I eat and drink for over a decade.
Luckily, matcha tea is not only allowed, it’s actually recommended for my diet. Besides being extremely healthy, matcha is fermentation free — unlike black tea — which makes it a robustly better ally in my ongoing crusade again candida.
As someone who succumbs to stress more often than I care to admit, matcha provides a mini-oasis of soothing calm every day. If, for some reason, I don’t get my morning cup, I physically feel the difference.
For me, matcha tea is a complete and emotional experience encompassing taste, texture, warmth and color. I really began to appreciate its myriad benefits — like enhanced concentration and focus — following my 50th birthday. It is a daily ritual I rarely neglect.
Today, I can’t imagine my life without matcha tea. And now, having enjoyed it for years, discovering My Matcha Life is another revelation. Their Tea Lover’s Organic Ceremonial Matcha is the smoothest, most flavourful and enjoyable matcha tea I’ve tasted yet. I am definitely a devoted fan!
