What Is the Difference Between Matcha Powder and Green Tea Powder?

Matcha powder is steamed green tea ground into fine powder using natural stone mills. Green tea powder is a kind of ultra-fine powdered green tea. Although the raw materials of these two tea powders are green tea, we all know that they are different. So What is the difference between matcha powder and green tea powder?

If you have used matcha powder and green tea powder, you should know that it is difficult to distinguish them from the appearance. They are both powder and green. If you are not particularly familiar with them, you can't tell who is who. However, after understanding a few characteristics, we will find that the difference between matcha powder and green tea powder is mainly reflected in four aspects: different picking seasons, different colors, different tastes, and different effects.

1. Different Picking Seasons

[Matcha Powder] Matcha is usually picked in May, so the bitter tea polyphenols in the leaves will be reduced.

[Green Tea Powder] Green tea is usually picked before the Qingming Festival, so the quality of the tea leaves is the best.

2. Different Colors

[Matcha Powder] Matcha has high chlorophyll content and can synthesize more chlorophyll during growth. Therefore, the color of Matcha powder is emerald green, and the greener it is, the higher its value is. Correspondingly, the greener it is, the more difficult it is to make.

[Green tea powder] Ordinary green tea powder is generally a little yellow. Compared with matcha powder, although it is also green, it is very light.

3. The Taste Is Different

Because the bitter tea polyphenols will be reduced, the finished matcha powder will not have a bitter taste, while the green tea powder will have some bitterness.

4. Different Efficacy

In addition, there are many trace elements in matcha, including tea polyphenols, caffeine, free amino acids, chlorophyll, protein, fiber, etc., which can meet the needs of the human body.

Summary: Although there are four differences between matcha powder and green tea powder, it is still difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so you need to taste them, or put the two together and compare the colors carefully. Because matcha powder is in an ultra-fine powder state, it can be used in large quantities in more areas.
