Abstract in brief

Matcha is a powdered green tea from Japan known for its potential health benefits, including effects on cognitive function, heart health, and cancer prevention.
Current research shows that matcha may reduce stress and enhance attention and memory, though findings on its cognitive effects are mixed and further trials are needed.
