A sweet reader just made me aware that telling you more about Matcha Powder would be helpful and she is so right!  The information is from Wikipedia which will also provide you more if you want to take a visit!
Matcha (抹茶?, pronounced [mat.tÉ•a][n 1]) is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea. It’s special in two aspects of farming and processing: The green tea plants for matcha are shade grown for about 3 weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed in processing. Shaded growth produces more theanine and chlorophyll. That’s why matcha is more effective for improving mental focus with its higher theanine content[citation needed], looks very green with more chlorophyll and tastes softer without stems and veins. Its theanine in combination with caffeine is supposed to offer energy boost without the typical jitter or crash associated with caffeine in coffee[citation needed]. Matcha is also more effective for ingesting all the content in the leaves because people consume its entirety as dissolved in water, latte, smoothie or other creations. The antioxidant catechins, especially EGCG in green tea leaves, is one of the main reasons that many health-conscious people consume green tea leaves or matcha specifically.
