The difference between matcha and powdered tea that you may be too embarrassed to ask now.
Do you know the difference between matcha and powdered tea? Many people might find it hard to distinguish between them when asked. This article explains the differences between matcha and powdered tea.
The difference between matcha and powdered tea lies in the type of tea leaves used. Matcha is made from a type of tea leaf called tencha, while powdered tea is made from sencha.
Because different tea leaves are used, the taste, color, and aroma also differ. (The price is also different; generally, matcha is more expensive.) If you buy powdered tea expecting the taste, color, and aroma of matcha, you might be disappointed as they are quite different.
Powdered tea has a fragrance similar to sencha, is lighter in color compared to matcha, and has a stronger astringency. If you use powdered tea as a substitute for matcha in baking or other recipes, be aware of these differences.
For more information on the tencha used in matcha, please refer to this article. If you’re interested, be sure to check it out.
