Matcha Green Tea

Matcha Green Tea

Is it matcha or green tea? Is there even a difference between the two? 


Whether you’re a tea fanatic or not, you’ve certainly heard of regular green tea and its many benefits to your health. It is also very popular in the skin care beauty industry. 


So what about matcha tea? Sure you’ve seen it countless times on Snapchat or Instagram stories, but do you know the difference between the two? After all, they both look the same.

Green leaf  VS Matcha green leaf

If you think they are the same, you are not too far from the truth. Both green tea and matcha green tea are made from the same plant - Camellia Sinensis. The main difference between the two is the way they are made.

Regular green tea usually comes in tea bags, which are steeped in hot water to make the final beverage, and the actual leaves disposed of. 

Matcha is simply green tea leaves ground into fine powder, which is then added directly to hot water to make tea. This makes it much more concentrated than regular green tea, and so you can use far less to receive a richer flavor.

Benefits of Matcha tea

Since you’re consuming the entire plant leaves in matcha tea, you get far more antioxidants than with regular green tea. These antioxidants are known to help fight free radicals, which are linked to aging and a host of diseases.

Matcha tea also contains more caffeine than regular green tea, so it’s better at keeping energy levels up throughout the day. It also helps with a quicker recovery after workouts.
