You can tell by the color of matcha if it's high or low quality. Vibrant green hues have a higher quality, flavor, and nutritional content. When frothed, vibrant it creates a thick layer of foam. This indicates matcha crafted from fresh, young leaves at the pinnacle of their flavor and nutritional potency. Matcha with a yellowish or brownish hue indicates lower quality, diminished flavor and nutritional content. When frothed, this matcha will produce less foam. This suggests exposure to excessive sunlight or oxidation, compromising the tea's freshness, taste, nutrient levels, and health benefits.

Unlike traditional green teas, where the leaves are steeped and then discarded, matcha involves consuming the whole tea leaf, which is finely ground into a powder. This means you ingest all the nutrients and antioxidants present in the leaf.

Ceremonial matcha undergoes meticulous cultivation. Before harvest, the tea plants are shaded for several weeks to enhance chlorophyll production and create this vibrant green color. This shading process also increases the levels of nutrients, anti-oxidants, caffeine potency, and amino acids, particularly L-theanine, which contributes to the tea's sweetness and umami flavor. The youngest, most tender, sweetest, and nutrient-rich leaves at the top of the tea plant are then hand-picked, de-stemmed an de-veined. After harvesting, the leaves are carefully steamed, dried, and stone ground into a fine powder using traditional granite stone mills. This slow, meticulous grinding process helps preserve the delicate flavors and nutrients of the tea resulting in a smoother, creamier texture and a more refined taste.

The caffeine in matcha is released more slowly compared to coffee due to the presence of L-theanine, providing a more sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with coffee. Matcha is richer than coffee in nutrients and antioxidants, which may have various health benefits that coffee lacks. Additionally, matcha may have positive benefits in terms of oral hygiene, skin health, and digestive health compared to coffee, which may have adverse effects instead.

There’s no sugar and no additives in our matcha. Matcha is made only from green tea leaves (Camellia Sinensis). You may add your favorite sweetener to your latte if you have a sweet tooth but since we made sure our matcha is of the highest grade, it already has a naturally sweet aroma.

Matcha should be stored in an airtight container (preferably in the moisture-proof pouch it comes in) in a cool, dark place to preserve its freshness and flavor. It is best consumed within a few months of opening, as it can lose its potency over time. Always make sure to properly reseal the pouch to avoid oxidation.
