The path to success is often littered with setbacks, obstacles, and fear of failure. Pushing through to reach your goals is challenging. A Japanese proverb sums up this journey: “Beginning is easy; continuing is hard.” So as we face challenges, we need both our minds and our bodies to be at the ready if we want to persevere.

Unicity has tapped into a remedy that Zen monks have used for centuries to sharpen their focus and enhance meditation. This elixir is UNICITYMATCHA—a finely powdered green tea that can give you the fortitude and support you need to combat the odds.

Most importantly, you will recognize the courage of your spirit and learn to trust the course it beckons you to follow.


How It Works

You therefore take advantage of 100% of its nutrients—including chlorophyll, protein, and dietary fiber. Matcha has both healing and preventative properties to:

Cleanse and Restore: Japanese philosopher Taisen Deshimaru advised, “Think with your whole body.” The abundance of chlorophyll in Matcha makes it an ideal rejuvenator. It carries oxygen to your cells, regenerating them and building your blood. As a purifier, it neutralizes free radicals, eradicates toxins, and improves radiation damage.

Boost metabolism: Bursting with antioxidants called catechins (a class of polyphenols), Matcha eliminates free radicals, slows the signs of aging, and optimizes your metabolism.

Reduce fatigue: The naturally occurring caffeine and theophylline in Matcha work to stimulate wakefulness and provide mental clarity, making it a healthier alternative to classic energy drinks or coffees. Additionally, its absorption into your blood is as discreet as its dissipation, preventing the infamous crash that comes with most caffeinated beverages.

Calm the mind: Shade-grown plants like Matcha produce L-theanines. These amino acids calm the brain without making you drowsy. Paired with caffeine and theophylline, L-theanines generate a lucid frame of mind, enabling you to determine what needs to be accomplished and how. Lao Tzu, philosopher of ancient China, observed, “To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.”

History

About 850 years ago, Japanese Zen scholar Eisai Nyoan journeyed to China to gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism and the art of meditation. He returned to Japan a Zen master, ready to bestow his philosophies. But enlightenment was not all Eisai had to share. He also brought with him the secret of Matcha and urged his followers, “Drink lots of [it], and one’s energy and spirits will be restored to full strength.” Other Zen monks quickly recognized and harnessed the power of the invigorating beverage. They used it to help center their minds and summon the energy required for meditative practices.

Today, Unicity’s Chi-Oka ceremonial-grade Matcha is sourced from the same 850 year-old plantations the Zen monks grew their green tea trees. A few weeks before harvest, the trees are covered with heavy cloths. The shaded environment causes their leaves to flood with chlorophyll in an effort to absorb as much sunlight as possible. This lends Matcha its delightful bright jade color. Harvest takes place only once a year. Trained harvesters, able to discern the youngest and healthiest of leaves, pick the most superior product during a five-day window in May. When it is established that each batch of tea meets the same elite standard, the leaves are carefully dried and then ground between granite wheels into a fine powder.
