Matcha or moringa?
As some of you know, I love making a nice latte in the morning.
Matcha and moringa are two of my favorite superfoods. Why? They’re antioxidant-packed, boast some serious health perks, and can be made into super cozy morning beverages. While matcha is a drink I love a lot, moringa recently stole my heart too.
Matcha has a rich, grassy, slightly floral and sweet flavor (depending on the quality). It contains 137 times more antioxidants than brewed green tea.
Moringa leaves can be consumed in salads, stews, and beyond, but more commonly you’ll find moringa available in powdered form (my preferred). Moringa is also grassy and earthy in flavor, but it’s slightly more spicy and less floral/aromatic than matcha.
Known as the “miracle tree,” moringa is native to India and also grows in Asia, Africa, South America, and beyond!
What are the 2 main differences between Matcha & Mooring?
Flavor
When it comes to flavor, in my opinion, matcha wins out. Moringa has a similar but slightly more spicy, pungent flavor than matcha. However, over time the flavor grows on you!
Caffeine Content
Unlike matcha, moringa is caffeine-free. But based on personal experience, matcha is a gentler source of caffeine than coffee (I2 ’ve noticed there’s no head rush or jitters with matcha — it’s a smoother uptick and energy without the crash).
If you’re wanting to wean off of coffee, we’d suggest starting with matcha and then transitioning to using half matcha/half moringa and eventually just moringa.
So try out those 2 options to mix up your regular coffee routine and get a boost of nourishment for body and soul!!
Curious to hear your comments!
