Q. Is tea powder the same as instant tea?

Answer

Instant teas, once transformed into liquid form, are reported to contain the same amount of nutrients as brewed green tea. Green tea powder, on the other hand, is only a fine powder of loose-leaf teas that allows a user to get the benefits of the entire leaf. Everything about them, from the production to the ingredients to the flavor to the way it dissolves in water, is completely different. Instant teas are concentrated versions of previously brewed teas. Next, it's concentrated and powdered. Loose-leaf teas that have been finely processed into powder are called "tea powders." Powdered matcha of ceremonial quality is traditionally prepared using a stone mill.
