Let’s guess, matcha and green tea, are they the same tea?
In fact, matcha is one of green tea.
The differences between them are the processing methods.
For green tea, it needs to be steamed, rolled, dried.
Matcha’s process skips the rolling step and dries the tea directly, which is the significant difference between them.
The way making matcha is to steam it completely, roll it, and dry it at the end.
This process helps avoid damaging the tea's tissues, and ensures the nutrition more completed.
The matcha powder we can find is finished by drying the tea, chopping it as CTC, and then grinding it into a powder.
It requires the top leaves of tea trees.
Due to the complicated process and shortage of leaves, matcha is more expensive than green tea.
