💚 Iced Matcha with Tulsi & Maca: Glow All Day

🌱 Why This Botanical Blend?

This isn’t your average matcha latte. This drink combines three ancient powerhouses — matcha, tulsi, and maca — to create an Iced Matcha with Tulsi & Maca that tastes like peace and feels like power and will keep your skin shining bright all day.

🍵 Matcha: Calm Energy with a Green Glow

This powdered green tea is packed with antioxidants, particularly EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate, a type of catechin, which is a polyphenol found in green tea leaves), which supports cellular health, skin radiance, and metabolism. Unlike coffee, matcha delivers a gentle caffeine lift thanks to L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus.

Drinking iced matcha in the morning is a refreshing way to hydrate and energize without the crash or anxiety that often comes with coffee. Plus, whisking matcha is a moment of mindfulness all on its own.

🌿 Tulsi (Holy Basil): The Adaptogen for Clarity & Calm

Also known as “holy basil,” tulsi is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. It’s an adaptogen—meaning it helps your body adapt to physical, emotional, and environmental stress.

Adding tulsi to your iced matcha ritual infuses the drink with grounding energy. It supports your immune system, calms your cortisol levels, and promotes mental clarity. If your mornings feel rushed or stressful, tulsi helps you slow down and show up with presence.

⚡ Maca: Hormone Harmony + Natural Vitality

Maca root is a functional food from the Andes known for enhancing stamina, mood, and hormonal balance—especially for women. It’s rich in minerals like iron, iodine, and zinc, and it has a subtly nutty, malty flavor that complements matcha beautifully.

When added to your iced matcha elixir, maca supports sustained energy, improved endurance, and even menstrual cycle regularity. It’s a botanical boost that helps you feel grounded and energized all day long.
