FAQ
What’s the difference between green and matcha?The short answer is that matcha and green tea are both made from the same plant ( camellia sinensis), but they are grown and prepared in different ways. Matcha is not made from green tea leaves. You can’t just grind them to make it matcha. Matcha is made from whole green tea leaves and offers more nutritional benefits and health benefits than regular green tea. Matcha has a deeper, richer flavor.
Matcha may have a higher nutritional value than standard green tea. Some sources even claim that matcha has over 100x its antioxidant content. Catechin is one of the strongest types of antioxidants due to how it’s grown.
Is green tea a good source of caffeine?It will vary depending on what type of ” green tea ” is used and how long the brew has been brewed. It’s often 1/3 to 1/4 of the amount of coffee.
How long should you steep green tea?Green tea is best brewed for three minutes to avoid bitterness. You can try the tea as soon as it is brewed, and then again every 30 seconds until you are satisfied with the flavor.
How does green tea taste?It can vary greatly as there are many kinds of green tea. The taste also varies a lot. It generally has a mildly earthy, grassy taste. It can be sweet or even nutty.
How many cups of tea should you drink?I find that 1 teaspoon of leaves per cup is sufficient. This can change depending on the size and shape of the leaves. Large leaves, for example, will require more water – sometimes as much as two tablespoons. 2g leaves to 6oz water is enough to give the exact amount.
