I’m a matcha snob, I’ve tried a bunch of brands, this is the best! It happens to be the best value, what a great combo. The texture of this is so fine .., the taste has that perfect blend that is really indescribable until you taste the real deal, like this Matcha. I make one non-fat match latte every morning, it is truly fun to make, and it keeps me going all day.
Silky smooth with a touch of sweetness, with a wonderful aroma. Beautiful emerald green color, this is my new favorite drink. Gives me energy without jitters., This Matcha makes wonderful hot tea and also is refreshingly delicious as iced frappicino. I will buy this again!
Finally I can drink green tea without hating it! I’ve been trying to drink less coffee but still need my caffeine, so I tried this. I use it in just plain hot water, but also make green tea lattes which are divine!! And put it in my smoothie for a little caffeine and don’t really taste it much at all when mixed in. It does taste quite good and isn’t bitter at all like most green teas are.
This is delicious. I made my first cup this morning and love the way I felt after drinking it. I used a small amount of water with 1 teaspoon of the tea to create a paste then added that to 6 oz hot water. It was vibrant green and had a slightly grassy fragrance. The taste was like a concentrated and more flavorful green tea. Tomorrow I plan to heat up almond milk instead of using water for a more creamy texture. Although this is a costly item, it is worth the price to use healthy and high quality ingredients for my body. According to my blood type and the BTD, I should not have coffee, which I love. I try not to drink it daily, so this is a great alternative.
I ordered this matcha green tea powder after finding out that matcha green tea is far more nutritional than regularly brewed green tea. It’s full of antioxidants and produced with the greatest care. This product came in a really nice sealed container that really makes it taste fresh. I found the container to be great for travelling and even to take outdoors as the powder makes for easy brewing. It’s really simple to boil some water and add however much powder for personal taste. It gives me great energy after a cup in the morning and it doesn’t taste bad. My opinions of this product are that of my own experience. I am a big tea drinker and I really like this tea and the container that it comes in. I hope this review was helpful and that everyone has an awesome day!
P.S. I like to drink my tea with Stevia sometimes since its healthier and makes my tea taste pretty good.
This has been a really great match alternative compared to other brands. I have enjoyed mixing it into my protein smoothies without tasting the strong green tea taste like other brands. I would definitely purchase again because of these added benefits.
I have been making and drinking matcha tea for years. No joke, this is the best matcha I have ever had by a huge margin! Every morning I have a matcha latte with cashew or almond milk. I don’t think I will ever buy another brand!
I’ll be the first to admit I am NO matcha tea expert. However, I do enjoy this tea a lot. It has a very green, planty taste kind of. It is a lot stronger than something like generic green tea bags from different brands I have tried. I use a tiny whisk to stir it up in hot water and drink. There are some grains at the bottom of the cup that I drink, but it isn’t as crazy as greek coffee or anything like that with a thick sludge at the bottom. I like that this gives me the benefits of green tea without having to down as many cups of it, because the matcha is much more potent.

A: As you have noticed, matcha naturally has a very distinct flavour to it. Many people will add both a sweetener and milk to bring it more to their liking. Can you give this a try and let us know what you think?
Also, if you haven't already, please make sure to try out some of our recipes in the guide which was emailed to you shortly after you placed your order. Culinary Grade Matcha in smoothies seems to be a customer favourite!
If you didn't receive the guide, please let us know and we will be more than happy to send it to you right away.
A: While we are not medical doctors, we see that there are studies out there that caffeine may have an increased effect on hot flashes. Since Matcha contains a naturally occurring caffeine, it may have an effect on them. Then on the other hand, there are also studies that say, "when taken with other herbs, green tea may alleviate hot flashes." Since each person is different, we always recommend speaking with your doctor or a nutritionist for the most up to date medical advice.
A: The owner recently visited the farm in Shizuoka, Japan and he confirmed that it is a gluten-free facility. They only process tea there. The Japanese government is extremely strict about not allowing tea companies to process other items.
In addition to doing the customary removal of his shoes at the door of the facility, he had to wear a white suit, special shoes, and walk through a vacuum/air chamber to remove any impurities from his body before being allowed into the area that has the tea.
He said the region where the tea is harvested was mostly green tea with some rice fields too. He said he was not looking for wheat fields, but doesn't remember seeing any on his travels, so he cannot confirm of any near the farm.
A: Caffeine content is 3.0gr/100gr. A teaspoon of matcha is 2 grams. So 3% of 2 grams is 0.06 grams
Since matcha is the entire green tea leaf, dried and ground into a fine powder, there is a naturally occurring amount of caffeine. One factor that can greatly affect the amount is the way the tea is grown.
If the leaves were shade grown, as in the Ceremonial Grade Matcha, the tendency is the plants will try to increase their chlorophyll content in order to get as much light as they can, and in the process increases all other minerals found on the leaves; this includes the caffeine content.
Our Culinary Grade Matcha is not shade grown, thus its caffeine content is a bit lower; it is almost the same amount as a regular cup of tea.
A traditional serving of matcha is 1/2 tsp matcha, or 1g.
1g Culinary Matcha = 19mg caffeine
1g Ceremonial Matcha = 30mg caffeine
One traditional serving of matcha has less caffeine than most teas, some soft drinks (like Mountain Dew), and is about equivalent with brewed green tea. Even if you use 2 tsp of Culinary Matcha, you're still getting less caffeine than the average drip coffee. If you are concerned about the effects of caffeine we suggest starting off with a small amount, such as 1/8 tsp.
A: Hi!
Thank you for your question! To answer your question, Culinary and Ceremonial Grade are harvested with distinct purposes in mind. While some enjoy the Culinary Grade as a tea, most prefer this type of matcha in smoothies, baking, or other recipes, and it is how we recommend using this grade. If you're seeking a matcha to use as a tea only, then the Ceremonial Grade is your best option. The Ceremonial Grade is shade-grown, which increases the chlorophyll (i.e. making it greener in color) and L-theanine (giving it a more savory taste). Due to less light, it also decreases vitamin C and catechin (responsible for astringency) content, again providing a smoother taste. Culinary Matcha, is fully sun-grown in the summer, therefore it should have a higher vitamin C and catechin (including EGCG) content. This will give it a stronger taste than the Ceremonial Grade. I hope this helps clarify the differences. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

A: Thank you for the excellent question! Since we are not medical professionals, we always recommend consulting with your doctor first. The biggest consideration is matcha contains a naturally occurring amount of caffeine, which is typically less than a cup of coffee. If you are trying to avoid caffeine completely during breastfeeding then it's best to not drink matcha. Again, for a more definitive answer, please consult your doctor.
A: Excellent question! One of our matcha green tea capsules has 2.5g of Culinary Grade Matcha. Since there are 1.5 to 2 grams of matcha per teaspoon, our capsules have a greater content of green tea. Hope this helps!
