Ceremonial Matcha vs Culinary Matcha?

Ceremonial Matcha is higher quality matcha that is specifically made to be drunken, while culinary matcha is made for baking and for adding to recipes that dont require vibrant colors. Ceremonial matcha will offer a bright green color, grassy notes, and a higher caffeine content. While culinary matcha will be slightly more bitter, have a muddy green color, and have lower caffeine content.

Matcha Benefits

Matcha is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. Matcha is noted with being helpful in weight loss, but these claims are not scientifically proven.

Green Tea vs Matcha

Green tea leaves and matcha power are very similar teas, however, the main difference stems from how they are harvested and grown. Green tea leaves are harvested as full leaves and are steamed and dried before they have the chance to oxidize and turn a darker color. Green tea is also grown in natural sunlight, unlike matcha which is grown in the shade to produce a brighter green color from the need for higher chlorophyll content as noted by Jessica from everyday health.

Matcha is also fully ground into a powder so when consuming matcha you consume the whole leaves and powder form and in green tea, you only drink the extraction from the leaves being brewed. Bringing about another key difference is the number of nutrients you gain from each form, since you are consuming the whole leaves in powder form the nutrient content is higher in matcha powder than it is from green tea leaves. However, both are highly nutritious and will benefit you in similar ways such as being high in antioxidant content, and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Recipe Notes:

• This recipe calls for ceremonial matcha due to the taste and color produced from using it if you swap from a lesser quality matcha powder you may need more powder t produce a green color and it may not taste as fresh as grassy as higher quality forms.
• We use 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, but feel free to increase it to 1.5 teaspoons for a bright bright green color and bolder taste.
• If not consuming all of the cold foam immediately you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours before it loses its consistency and taste begins to degrade. Place in an airtight container.
