Matcha and green tea come from the same plant, but are grown and processed differently. Matcha is grown in the shade to maximise chlorophyl production, while most green tea is grown in the sun. Then, instead of steaming the leaves (like green tea), they are turned into a fine powder.

Matcha has significantly higher antioxidant content than other green teas, and is said to have a richer flavour.

While matcha has lower levels of caffeine than coffee, it’s advised to drink with caution if you’re sensitive to caffeine.
