*****Culinary Matcha (1oz)

By Yelena on January 29, 2014
Flavor: Ceremonial Grade 1oz | Verified Purchase

I am also really impressed with the company, I purchased this organic Matcha powder to add to my yogurt and smoothies, the company (kiss me organics) emailed me a complementary recipe book with creative ways to incorporate Matcha powder into my meals, i was not expecting to receive the recipe book so I was pleasantly surprised, with both the quality of the matcha powder and the quality of the free recipes.

My favorite use for the matcha powder is to blend 1 serving of organic whey power with 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and 8oz of kefir and frozen organic blueberries.

Enjoy!

Q: Bad Taste
— Asked on May 12, 2017
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.

Q: Does matcha increase hot flashes?
— Asked on May 17, 2017
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.

Q: Is your matcha tea gluten-free? Packed in a gluten-free facility?   Do you happen to know if  Wheat farms are common next to Tea farms in Japan?
— Asked on May 17, 2017
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.

Q: Caffeine Content
— Asked on May 17, 2017
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.

Q: Is there a difference in the culinary and ceremonial as far as nutrition?
— Asked by tmcub81 on June 1, 2017
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.

Q: I have been ordering your matcha green tea on Amazon for over a year now and was trying to find the "Free report" that is marketed with each packet of tea I get. I tried to access it via the page kissmeorganics.com/boostnutrition but it only takes me to your home page. Can you provide access to recipes and extra tips? Thank you.

Q: The culinary grade matcha powder and breastfeeding mothers? Is it safe?
— Asked by Laurel on June 29, 2017
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.

Q: Hi, do you know if the recommended dose of 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of matcha powder has a greater content of green tea than a green tea capsule? Thanks.
— Asked by Nancy Mendes on July 28, 2017
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!
