What’s better for energy, health, and stress? At Tchaba Tea, where every tea blend and decaffeinated herbal infusion is crafted with the intention of helping you discover your cup of tea, we are passionate about helping you find balance through your daily cup.
This comparison of matcha vs coffee explores how each drink impacts your energy, well-being, and mental clarity, so you can sip smarter.
Winner for Steady Energy: Matcha
Winner for Overall Antioxidant Power: Matcha
Winner for Stress Management: Matcha
Digestive & Wellness Support – Actually I prefer not to have either as the winner since caffein inhibits the body’s ability to digest iron from the food during the digestive process. The Solution? Decaffeinated Herbal Infusion, and especially Spearmint or Peppermint.
Winner for Digestive Comfort: Matcha. Actualy both are losers
At Tchaba, we honor matcha as both a nourishing drink and a thoughtful ritual, ideal for those who want their wellness to be both practical and purposeful.
Coffee contains more caffeine per cup, but matcha provides a longer-lasting, smoother effect.
Matcha is less likely to stain teeth, especially when consumed without added sugar.
Yes. Thanks to L-theanine, matcha is gentler on the nervous system and helps promote calm alertness.
Absolutely. High-quality ceremonial matcha is safe and beneficial for daily use.
Tchaba sources only the finest ceremonial grade matcha, stone-ground and organically cultivated for optimal taste and health benefits.
High-quality matcha is vibrant green, smooth in texture, and naturally sweet with a creamy froth when whisked. Low-grade matcha is dull in color, gritty, and often tastes bitter or earthy.
Ceremonial matcha comes from the first harvest and is meant to be enjoyed with just water. It’s mild, smooth, and slightly sweet. Culinary matcha is stronger, slightly bitter, and made for recipes, lattes, or cooking.
Ceremonial matcha is hand-harvested, shade-grown, and stone-ground using only the youngest leaves. The cost reflects the craftsmanship, limited yield, and refined flavor—not necessarily higher health value.
Both ceremonial and culinary grades offer similar benefits such as antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine. Ceremonial matcha may retain slightly more nutrients, but the main difference is in taste and purity.
Shading before harvest increases chlorophyll and L-theanine, creating a deeper green color, smoother taste, and higher nutrient concentration. It also reduces bitterness, enhancing the overall quality.
For ceremonial matcha, use two scoops (about 2 grams). For culinary or latte preparations, two to four scoops may be used, depending on strength. Sifting is recommended before whisking.
Yes. Sifting removes clumps and helps achieve a smooth, frothy texture when whisked, improving both taste and presentation.
Store matcha in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is ideal after opening, but always let it return to room temperature before use. Consume within 30–60 days for best quality.
Yes, as long as the spoon is clean and dry. However, a bamboo chashaku is traditionally used to measure and preserve flavor integrity.
Rinse with warm water immediately after use, without soap. Let it air dry on a whisk stand to maintain its shape and prevent mold. Avoid storing it in enclosed or damp spaces.
Matcha is generally safe from age 10 onwards in small amounts. Start with ceremonial-grade for its lower caffeine and avoid sweetened mixes. Consult a doctor for younger children or those sensitive to caffeine.
You don’t have to give up your boost, you just have to choose a better one. If you’re ready to replace the rush-and-crash of coffee with calm clarity, matcha may be your new ritual.
