There’s no denying that matcha is having its moment as the hottest drink of the season. But beyond the trend, this traditional Japanese tea is packed with health benefits your body needs, especially during Ramadan. From steady energy to gentle hydration, matcha can support you through long fasting hours. Here’s why your suhoor should include a cup of matcha this Ramadan.
Keeps You Hydrated All Morning
Instead of chugging water after suhoor, try adding a cup of matcha to your meal—it can help keep you hydrated longer throughout the day. Made with water and naturally containing electrolytes, matcha is definitely a healthier beverage choice.
Boosts Your Energy Levels
Forget that midday slump we all face every Ramadan. Drinking matcha with your suhoor will keep you energized for the day ahead. Thanks to a compound called L-theanine, it gives you steady energy and prevents the crash in energy levels that usually follows caffeine.

Lifts your Mood & Lowers Stress
Matcha is proven to help you relaxed which is perfect for hectic Ramadan days. The amino acid L-theanine present in matcha is proven to lower the stress response in our bodies. Some believe matcha helps activate both the serotonin and dopamine receptors in the brain, the hormones responsible for wellbeing and relaxation.
Detoxes Your Body
If you’re looking to give your Ramadan routine a healthy glow-up, matcha might just be your new go-to. This vibrant green powder is known for supporting liver health. Since your liver works overtime flushing out toxins, metabolizing medications, and processing nutrients, adding matcha to the mix is like giving it a little extra love.
Matcha isn’t just the drink of the moment; it’s a centuries-old green powerhouse in disguise. This Ramadan, give your suhoor a glow-up and let matcha fuel your fast the healthy (and flavorful) way.
