Many people wonder what the difference is between matcha green tea and common green tea. We'll answer it, since it is a question we get often, and the truth is that the answer is quite simple: in their traditional forms, each has its own characteristics that make it unique.
The first difference lies in their physical form: to obtain matcha, the green leaf of the plant is ground into a powder, whereas to obtain green tea, the leaves are left to dry. Then there is another difference in preparation: since matcha is a powder, it is simply put in the bowl and whisked, and then you drink all of it. To prepare green tea, on the other hand, the leaves are steeped in hot water and after a few minutes it is strained to drink the infusion.
Matcha is extremely versatile, so much so that today it is used as an ingredient in the culinary arts to make the most diverse products, such as pastries, ice cream, shakes, etc.
Another important difference lies in the nutrients that each variety offers. To begin with, and as an important point, we should highlight that when you consume matcha, you are literally consuming the entire green tea plant. Studies show that a cup of Matcha green tea provides 10 times the nutrients and 137 times the antioxidants of a cup of regular green tea. When drinking matcha green tea, you consume not only the water-soluble nutrients (which are 35% of the total nutrients present in the plant), but also the non-soluble nutrients such as chlorophyll, protein and minerals (which represent 65% of the plant).
Drinking green tea daily has many health benefits, but by drinking matcha green tea you boost those possibilities. Adopting this way of drinking tea is worth it.
