When you go to a coffee shop, you might feel confused by all the options. Matcha and green tea can be confusing if you don't know what you want.

Green tea and matcha are made from the same plant as black tea. But they are prepared differently after they are picked.

Green tea and matcha are heated soon after they are picked, so they don't oxidize as much as black tea.

Green tea and matcha leaves are heated and then separated. Experts say matcha is a type of ground green tea.

There are many differences between matcha and green tea.

When you drink matcha, you are drinking the whole leaf, not just the water it was steeped in.

Matcha plants are covered before they are picked, which makes them produce more healthy ingredients. This is why matcha is so green.

Matcha usually comes from Japan, while green tea comes from China and other places.

To make green tea, just heat some water and add the leaves. Let it steep for a few minutes.

You can use good quality leaves more than once.

Matcha is made with a special whisk.

Don't use boiling water for green tea, or it will taste bad.

If you use a tea bag, just follow the same steps.

To make matcha, add some powder to a bowl and add a little water. Then use the whisk to mix it.

Keep whisking until it's frothy, then add more water. You can also make it cold with ice or milk.

Both matcha and green tea have some caffeine, unless you choose a type without caffeine. Green tea has about 30-40mg, while matcha has about 75mg.
