1. Natural Energy Boost (Without the Crash)
Matcha provides a calm, sustained energy boost thanks to a combination of caffeine and L-theanine. It’s perfect for staying alert during long, sunny days without the jitters or crash that often follow coffee or black tea with milk.

2. Chlorophyll = Natural Detox
Rich in chlorophyll, matcha supports gentle detoxification—great for flushing out toxins and refreshing the body as you sweat and stay active in warmer weather.

3. Antioxidant Powerhouse
Matcha has up to 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea. These compounds help protect your skin from sun-induced oxidative stress and support healthy aging. Supportive at the cellular level, this support can help the body to reduce chronically stressed areas.

4. Cooling by Nature
In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, green tea is considered cooling. Matcha-based drinks like iced lattes, lemonades, and even mocktails help balance your internal temperature on hot days.

5. Hydration Hero
Matcha blends beautifully with coconut water, nut milks, or sparkling water—making it a deliciously hydrating base for smoothies, spritzers, popsicles, or even herbal fusions.

6. Mood + Metabolism Support
Matcha’s unique combination of nutrients not only boosts your metabolism but also helps reduce stress and support mental clarity. It’s a smart summer wellness choice for mind and body.

7. Vibrant Color = Vibrant Health
That bold green hue means business. It’s packed with vitamins A, C, and E, supporting your immune system and promoting radiant skin—even after long days in the sun.

So go ahead—blend, shake, or whisk your way to better summer health with a cool matcha creation. Looking for inspiration? Check out Cape Breton Tea Company’s matcha blends, crafted with intention to uplift, energize, and inspire! Be sure to check out the special recipes using matcha.

A Family Steeped in Tea The story of the Cape Breton Tea Company is one of passion, connection, and a love for tea that spans generations. It all began when Michellie Greenwell became fascinated with loose-leaf tea, inspiring her mother, Michelle, to dive deeper into the world of tea.

Michellie’s journey led her to a tea sommelier course and work in a tea shop, where her expertise and curiosity helped shape the foundation of what would become the Cape Breton Tea Company. From the very beginning, Michellie played a vital role—helping create the initial blends, taste-testing, and consulting over the years.

She was also instrumental in developing the Natalie MacMaster Set, a collection that celebrates tradition, music, and the art of tea blending.

Launching this week: Michellie’s Matcha Mixes!

In this week’s podcast episode, Michelle shares their journey with tea, the power of tea rituals, and the deep connection between herbs, intentions, and well-being. She explores the Five Element Tea with Intention Series, where tea becomes more than just a drink—it’s a tool for transformation.

Change your day, change your life with tea, herbs, and intention.

This photo is backstage at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary, Alberta before Natalie’s show with Jessie Cook in the early 2000’s. It was a dream come true to dance on stage during the show, and to have some fun with the band members backstage too. Who knew Cape Breton Island and tea were in our future?!
