Which one you should choose

By the end, you’ll know exactly which tea powder fits your taste and lifestyle.

1. What Is Instant Black Tea Powder?

Black tea powder is made from finely ground, fully oxidized tea leaves (like Assam, Darjeeling, or Ceylon). It has:

• Bold, malty, or smoky flavors

• Higher caffeine (30-50mg per serving)

• Rich, dark color when brewed

Common uses:
Instant hot or iced tea

Tea lattes (e.g., chai, London Fog)

Baking (tea-infused desserts)

2. What Is “Normal” Tea Powder?

The term “normal tea powder” is vague—it typically refers to:

A) Generic Low-Quality Tea Dust

• Often made from broken tea leaves/fannings (leftover from whole-leaf production).

• Bitter, astringent taste (common in cheap tea bags).

• Weak flavor, dull color.

B) Other Tea Types (Green, Matcha, Herbal)

• Matcha powder (stone-ground green tea) – Earthy, vibrant, high in L-theanine.

• Green tea powder – Grassy, lighter caffeine (20-30mg).

• Herbal tea powders (e.g., chamomile, hibiscus) – Naturally caffeine-free.

3. Key Differences: Black Tea Powder vs. “Normal” Tea Powder

4. Which One Should You Choose?

Pick Black Tea Powder If You Want:

Strong, robust flavor (ideal for milk teas or iced tea).
A moderate caffeine boost (less than coffee, more than green tea).
Versatility in cooking & drinks.

Pick Matcha/Green Tea Powder If You Want:

A smoother, umami-rich taste.
Higher antioxidants (EGCG).
Calm energy (thanks to L-theanine).

Avoid Generic “Normal” Tea Powder If:

 You care about flavor quality (often harsh or stale).
You want health benefits (lower antioxidant content).
