Health Benefits of Sugar Destroyer Matcha & Gymnema
- regulates blood sugar
- curbs appetite for sweets
- can help maintain health weight and cholesterol
- sugar-free, no preservatives or additives
- suitable for everyday
This thin-grade matcha tea is blended with Gymnema Sylvestre,
an herb known as the "Sugar Destroyer." Gymnema inhibits the
absorption of sugar in the intestine and also
blocks the taste of
sugar on the palate. Gymnema is often used in the Ayurvedic community
to control Type I and Type II Diabetes. The herb is also known to help
regulate weight loss, and cholesterol.
A study by The National Institute of Health claims, Gymnema can serve
as an effective and safe weight-loss formula that can facilitate a
reduction in excess body weight and BMI, while promoting healthy blood
lipid levels.

People with diabetes, high cholesterol or who are significantly
overweight should consult their health practitioner before adding
Gymnema to their diet. Gymnema is not recommended for small
children, pregnant or nursing women or for people with hypoglycemia.
Tasting Note: Appearance, Aroma and Flavor
Sugar Destoyer Matcha with Gymnema tea is bright green and has the consistency of fine
talcum powder. The color is slightly subdued when compared to a
pure matcha. The aroma starts sweet and creamy like a quality
matcha and finishes with a hint of bitter herbs. The taste of
Sugar Destroyer is grassy and pungent with a distinct bitter note.
Matcha PreparationPlace
1/2 to 1 tsp. matcha (2 bamboo tea scoops) in a matcha bowl, then pour
60 ml (2 oz) of steaming hot water (180 degrees) into the bowl.
Rapidly beat with a bamboo whisk until surface becomes foamy. You may
also use an electric frother, but be sure to use a deep glass in lieu
of a shallow bowl.
