Matcha is unrivaled among green, black and other teas. Brewed teas deliver only a fraction of Matcha’s nutritional benefits because the leaves are disposed of as part of the preparation process. Matcha does not undergo the same level of fermentation (enzymatic oxidation) as other teas, which helps maximize its potency. As a result, it takes about 10 cups of regular green tea to equal just 1 cup of Matcha’s nutrient and antioxidant value, yet Matcha has similar caffeine content.
