Differentiating between green tea powder and matcha powder
- Matcha powder is a fine powder made from 100% young buds of the green tea plant. This type of powder is completely different from green tea powder in terms of nutritional value and price, as green tea powder is only ground from 30% of young tea buds and the remaining 70% is young tea leaves.
- Matcha powder has a bright green color and a bitter-sweet aftertaste, unlike green tea powder which has a dark green color, may slightly turn yellow, and has astringent bitterness.
- You can buy matcha powder at baking ingredient stores, supermarkets, or on e-commerce websites.
