This Japanese green tea powder has long been considered a medicine by the samurai. The particular care given to its cultivation gives it exceptional nutritional qualities.
Matcha tea is grown exclusively in Japan. The crop is grown high enough so that the leaves are bright and contain as many nutrients as possible. Not long before harvest, the tea fields are fully covered to protect the tea leaves from the light. Growth then slows down and the leaves darken, making the tea taste sweeter. The leaves are then collected, dried and ground into an ultra-fine powder: Matcha.
Matcha tea contains micronutrients (zinc, iron, calcium, potassium, or even vitamins A and E), proteins and tannins that are really good for your health. This Japanese tea helps fight against cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Drinking Matcha tea strengthens the body's immune system, allowing it to fight against diseases.
Our Mini Cookies combine all the goodness of Matcha tea with sharp lemon flavours and healthy sesame seeds for a gourmet, tasty and healthy blend.

As a source of nutrients, people are beginning to like and recommend chia seeds more and more. Their nutritional profile is impressive, as they contain vitamins E and B, calcium, iron and magnesium. They also have a high fibre content, improving digestion. Thanks to their high antioxidant content, they have anti-ageing properties.
But this seed’s main characteristic is that it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for the body. Its high omega-3 content is good for the cardio-vascular system and also improves blood pressure. Chia seeds have the highest concentration of omega-3 to date compared to other plant sources. Just one teaspoon a day of these small black gems is enough to cover your daily reference intake of omega-3.
In yoghurts, smoothies, desserts, or even in salads, chia seeds are really good for your health, helping strengthen your immune system and leaving you feeling naturally full.
It is therefore no coincidence that "chia" means "strength" in the Mayan language.
