Your Monthly Ritual, Upgraded
Period week can feel like an endurance test—cramps, fatigue, mood swings, and brain fog. That’s why a growing number of women are turning to matcha during your period as a soothing, supportive ritual. Unlike coffee’s jolting highs and lows, matcha’s gentle energy and calming L-theanine offer a balanced state of relief. Let’s explore how this green ritual can truly transform your cycle.
