Three Reasons Why Matcha Green Tea
Powder Is So Popular

Matcha green tea powder is quite different than regular green tea. This form of green tea is created by stone grinding tea leafs into a powder and using that to make tea rather than using loose leaf tea or a tea bag.

Matcha green tea powder is the tea that has been used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony many of us have seen in films. This form of green tea has been around for hundreds of years and was consumed regularly by Samurai Warriors and Japanese royalty.

Matcha is the most popular form of green tea powder although the company we work with also offers several extremely satisfying varieties of green tea powder. This provides tea drinkers a variety of different tasting tea for different palettes.

Why Americans Love Matcha Green Tea Powder

For Americans, the reason I believe Matcha green tea powder is growing so popular is both smart and practical.

The first reason green tea powder is a smarter choice has to do with the extra nutritional bunch it delivers.

When using loose leaf tea or tea bags we are only consuming the water which has come in contact with the tea leaf. This method does deliver some of the medicinal qualities found in the tea leaf.

However; it only makes sense that by consuming the whole tea leaf (via powder format) we are able to absorb a lot more of the healthy qualities GT is famous for!

In fact, it is estimated that we can absorb up to 30% of the medicinal benefits by using green tea powder rather than loose leaf tea or tea bags!

The second reason green tea powder makes a lot more sense to American has to do with convenience. Green tea powder is extremely simple to make.

The powdered tea is simply added to either hot or cold water and it is ready to drink. No messy tea leaves to clean up or dispose of and after all, don’t you already spend enough time cleaning?

The final reason American are turning to green tea powder has to do with time savings. Let’s be honest, everybody seems to be crushed for time these days.

Even the time normally needed for waiting for loose leaf tea to steep can be better used elsewhere. With green tea powder there is zero waiting, simply mix your water and the powdered tea and you’re done!

Matcha green tea powder is also frequently used in cake mixes, candy, noodles, and even ice cream (although I will admit that happens almost exclusively in Japan).
