緑茶と抹茶の違いは？

緑茶と抹茶はどちらも緑茶植物の葉から作られますが、処理方法と消費方法が異なります。

緑茶の葉は摘み取り、酸化を防ぐために素早く蒸したり、フライパンで揚げたりすることで、緑色と新鮮な風味を保ちます。その後、葉を丸めて乾燥させます。緑茶を淹れるには、葉を熱湯に浸し、その液体を飲むことでお茶を飲みます。その後、葉は廃棄されます。

一方、抹茶は日陰で育った葉を摘み取り、細かい粉末にすりつぶしたものです。この粉末をお湯と混ぜてお茶にし、葉を捨てずに丸ごと飲みます。これは、抹茶を消費すると、抗酸化物質やその他の有益な化合物が豊富な緑茶の葉全体を消費することを意味します。

緑茶は葉を蒸したり熱したり、丸めたりして乾燥させたお茶で、抹茶は葉をすりつぶして粉末にし、熱湯やミルクなどと一緒に丸ごと飲む緑茶です。

緑茶 / 抹茶の天然栄養成分について

What’s different about Green Tea from Matcha?

Green Tea and Matcha are both made from the leaves of the Green Tea plant, but they are processed and consumed differently.

Green Tea leaves are plucked and then quickly steamed or pan-fried to prevent oxidation, which preserves the green color and fresh flavor. The leaves are then rolled and dried. To brew Green Tea, the leaves are steeped in hot water, and the tea is consumed by drinking the liquid. The leaves are then discarded.

Matcha, on the other hand, is made from shade-grown leaves that are plucked and then ground into a fine powder. This powder is mixed with hot water to make tea and consumed entirely, the leaves are not discarded. This means that when consuming Matcha, you are consuming the whole leaf, which is richer in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.

In summary, Green Tea is a type of tea made by steaming or pan-frying leaves, and then rolling and drying them, while matcha is made by grinding up the leaves into a powder, which is then mixed with hot water and consumed entirely.
