Matcha:
- Grades: There are different grades (quality of matcha), culinary grade which is lower quality and ceremonial grade which is the higher quality, usually from Japan. We recommend using our Matcha Sunday Ceremonial Grade for all drinks recipes.
- Flavor: Offers a robust, grassy flavor that is deeply umami, reflecting its concentrated form.
- Health Benefits: High in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which support heart health and reduce inflammation. It also provides a significant amount of vitamins, nutrients, and L-theanine, promoting mental clarity and a calm but alert state.
- Preparation: Matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves, which are mixed with water to create a frothy beverage. This method involves consuming the entire leaf, which enhances its nutritional profile.
Green Tea:
- Flavor: Features a lighter, more refreshing taste compared to matcha, with subtle grassy notes.
- Health Benefits: Contains beneficial antioxidants and catechins that support heart health and reduce inflammation, though in lesser amounts than matcha.
- Preparation: Green tea is prepared by steeping dried leaves in hot water, which are then removed after brewing.
