Instant has less caffeine.
Also, it is an abomination.

I've cut back on my coffee consumption and I never drink it after 5pm anymore. I'm down to about 14 cups a day, whereas I used to drink 20 to 30 cups daily.
Yeah it's vaguely calming in the background of my cognition.

Taste wise, you mean?
It's really only health related like use of sulphites as preservatives etc. that I'd be concerned with.

Can back this up + besides the high Caffeine in Matcha. It has no negative effect on Raynaud.
Coffee exacerbates Raynoud, didn t know till i stopped and switched to Matcha.
Which doesn t apparently, and is way healthier anyway. Coffee imo is just more addicting,
then that the taste mattter s. Mate is also loaded with Caffeine as well Guarana. All miss the Coffee effect

Am I correct in saying Matcha is just pulverized/powdered green tea?

About, it are the youngest leaves they pic, grown special in the shade to higher the Chlorophyll content, or maybe a other reason. So Pure fine grounded essentially White Tea. Only thing that don t relate to real Matcha is "just pulverized/powdered green tea"
Its not, as Green tea is steamed and fermented, if i am right. Matcha is raw & HQ.
Its not like, then i can just as well pulverise my Green tea.
The young leaves also sold as tea, they call White tea,
instead of young Green tea leaves. Is the basis for Matcha.

Coffee started messing with me in 1000 ways ~ now I just take 400 mg caffeine in the morning ~ I get the 500 count bottle of 200 mg pills at Amazon and take two pills in the morning ~ I quit with the coffee ~ I just ordered a pound of Brigham Tea Powder from nuvalenz.com but I don't know if it does anything for me ~ I still take the caffeine but I drink a tablespoon of the powder for the hell of it

Quit Coffee too, the price in a day almost doubled.
Making it about as expensive as Matcha, which is superior.
Nothing healthy about Caffeine pills, and i doubt in Coffee.
Imo Coffee being healthy is pure propaganda.
Its burned, contain s PAHs. Probably pesticides and artificially fertilised.
Matcha is healthy, a bit like White tea times 10/ 20 or more.
Caffeine that lack s side effect s. l-Theanine, Chlorophyl, EGCG.
Flavonoiden, Catechinen, Vitamines, minerals and trace element s.

versus a
2) french press
For brewing ground coffee?
