Matcha, the type of tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony, is a powdered green tea. More specifically, it as a Japanese green tea, and it is most similar to Gyokuro. Like gyokuro, it is a shade-grown green tea. Although it originated in Japan, teas in the style of Matcha are now produced elsewhere, including in Kenya and China.
Matcha is not the same as any powdered green tea...it is more specific. Other green teas, if powdered, would not be considered matcha.
Mainly Japanese stores sell Matcha Tea. However, it may be worth trying the international food isle at your local grocery location. Or if you have an international grocer nearby they may sell Matcha Tea.
To use a matcha whisk effectively for preparing traditional Japanese matcha tea, first warm the bowl and whisk with hot water. Then, add matcha powder and a small amount of hot water to the bowl. Use the whisk in a quick back-and-forth motion to create a frothy consistency. Serve and enjoy your matcha tea.
Matcha tea, as a green tea, contains small levels of caffeine. The ratio is about 35mg of caffeine per 1g of matcha tea. Unlike caffeine in coffee, this is absorbed slowly into the blood stream and has longer lasting effects.
If you are looking for equal health benefits... no. Powdered green tea is higher in antioxidants and its other nutritional components. I still recommend the tea bag because it still has the benefits and is cheaper.
You can order matcha by purchasing it online from a reputable retailer or by visiting a local tea shop that sells matcha. Look for high-quality ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and health benefits.
Consuming matcha tea may help lower cholesterol levels due to its high antioxidant content. Antioxidants in matcha tea, such as catechins, may help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, which can contribute to heart disease.
