What is the difference between Matcha and Coffee?

Both very popular beverages, but they have several differences, including:

 

Source:

Matcha green tea comes from powdered whole tea leaves, specifically from the Camellia sinensis plant.

Coffee is made from roasted coffee beans.

Caffeine Content:

While both matcha and coffee contain caffeine, matcha generally has less caffeine than coffee. Matcha contains L-theanine which is a calming amino acid – this means that matcha has  slow releasing caffeine contents.

Preparation:

Matcha is typically prepared by whisking the powdered tea with hot water until frothy, resulting in a suspension of the tea particles.

Coffee is brewed by steeping ground coffee beans in hot water, often using methods such as drip brewing, French press, or espresso.
