We are often asked: "What is the difference between the original Matcha Ninja and Blue Ninja, also known as "blue matcha"?"
In today's post, we'll share what makes these two teas so unique and some of their similarities.
To begin, let's explain what matcha means.
WHAT IS MATCHA?
Matcha is a Japanese word: "ma" means rubbed or ground, and "cha" means tea. Generally, when you hear the word matcha, you think of ground green tea leaves, as this is what matcha is most commonly associated with. Despite the association with green tea, the root of matcha means "ground tea."
What is the difference between blue and green matcha?
The most important fundamental difference is that green matcha and blue matcha come from two completely different plants.
Matcha Ninja (green) comes from the tea plant, called Camellia sinensis. The material used exclusively for matcha production is a green tea leaf called tencha.
Blue matcha is actually made from the blue flowers of the butterfly pea plant. The flowers are dried and ground into a very fine blue powder, and it is this powder that Blue Ninja is made of.
Both Blue Ninja and Matcha Ninja are ground teas, but they come from different plants.
TASTE DIFFERENCE
In terms of taste, the two teas are very different, but they have in common that they are both delicate and delicious.
Matcha Ninja has an intense green tea flavor. It is more herbaceous and earthy, with a touch of natural sweetness. For some, matcha can be an acquired taste, which you learn to appreciate more and more over time.
Blue Ninja has a delicate, light, and floral flavor. It is a taste you appreciate from the first sip and has a versatile aroma that easily lends itself to smoothies, desserts, and other culinary preparations.
