Matcha

The green tea powder of extra class has an intensive Umami aroma, which is accompanied by a bitter and grassy note. Good Matcha is less bitter and lets a minimal sweet swing.

4. Conclusion - Matcha VS Yerba Mate

We hope we were able to give you an insight into the differences between Matcha and Mate. Like everything in life, this comparison of Matcha vs Mate is no black and white comparison. Both drinks have their advantages and disadvantages.

We think that Matcha is particularly suitable as a luxury food, but also as a health functional food. Yerba Mate, on the other hand, is more of a cultural drink that causes a stronger (noticeable) wax effect.

Both drinks take a lot of getting used to and in particular the fire drying does not make Mate particularly healthy in many cases. When buying, attention should be paid to hot air drying as with Matcha.
