Most people think tea is something you steep in hot water and throw away. But tea powder works differently - and it changes everything about flavor, nutrition, and how tea fits into modern life.

What Is Tea Powder?

Tea powder is made by grinding whole tea leaves into a fine powder — matcha is the best-known example.

You don’t steep it.
You drink the entire leaf.

That means you get the full spectrum of nutrients: antioxidants, L-theanine, and clean, sustained caffeine.

What About Tea Bags?

Tea bags only release part of the leaf’s nutrients and flavor. Most contain broken leaves or “dust,” which oxidizes quickly and tastes flat.

The rest stays inside the bag and gets thrown away.

Flavor & Function — The Key Difference

Tea powder gives you a richer flavor and more control. Shake it into iced water, whisk into milk, or blend into dessert — no steeping required.

Powdered Tea ≠ Instant Tea

Instant tea is an extract that’s been spray-dried — often with fillers.

Tea powder is the real leaf, simply ground. Not the same thing.

Why Teawoo Uses Powdered Tea
