{"title":"Matcha Tea","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is matcha tea?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha tea is a type of green tea. It’s typically sold as a powder made from finely ground green tea leaves. \u003cstrong\u003eUnlike other green teas, matcha contains the nutrients from the entire leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e. This means it has a higher concentration of antioxidants. For this reason, matcha is considered one of the most nutritious teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatcha comes in 3 grades: ceremonial grade, premium grade, and cooking grade.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceremonial grade is matcha that is good enough for use in tea ceremonies at Buddhist temples. Premium grade is high-quality matcha that is perfect for everyday drinking. Cooking grade matcha is the cheapest matcha and can be used for culinary purposes such as making matcha cheesecake, matcha ice cream, or matcha noodles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking matcha tea is the most common use of matcha powder. \u003cstrong\u003eMatcha tea can be consumed hot or cold, with or without milk\u003c\/strong\u003e. Adding vegan milk to matcha tea, rather than simply water, makes it into a vegan matcha latte.

Caffeinated drinks can help boost our energy and focus. The caffeine content of matcha tea depends on a few variables. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is affected by what type of leaves are used, how much powder you use, and how long you leave it to brew.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally speaking, matcha contains around 19-44mg of caffeine per gram. A standard serving of matcha tea powder is around ½ - 1 teaspoon (2-4 grams) which means it contains between 38-176 mg of caffeine.

One cup of matcha tea (using one teaspoon of matcha tea powder) contains around 3 calories. However, if you mix it with anything other than water, this calorie count will change. A matcha latte made with vegan milk will have more calories than matcha tea made with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number of calories depends on how much vegan milk you use, and which vegan milk you use.
