Matcha is a powdered green tea from the Camellia sinensis L. plant, intended for both hot and cold drinking.Selecting the right matcha is crucial to its manufacture.This study organoleptically and physicochemically evaluated three types of matcha tea powder, measuring color (Lab*), water content, water solubility index, water holding capacity, pH, •Brix, as well as protein and lipid contents.In addition, flavonoids, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity were assessed.Matcha M1 showed the best antioxidant performance and the highest protein content (27,656 ± 0,134%), significantly higher than M2 and M3.It also showed the highest luminosity (L*), followed by M3, while M2 had the lowest luminosity.M1's pH was also the lowest (5,623 ± 0,025), contributing to better microbiological stability.M1 was preferred by consumers in sensory evaluation.This study clarified that matcha can exhibit significant flavor differences between brands and provided a theoretical basis for the selection and application of matcha in tea products.
