FAQ - Everything about Matcha
What is Matcha?
Matcha is a special, finely ground green tea powder made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike traditional green tea, where the leaves are steeped and then removed, matcha is consumed using the entire leaf.
Where does your matcha come from?
Our matcha comes from Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan - the traditional home of high-quality matcha.
What are the health benefits of matcha?
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has anti-inflammatory properties and can help support the immune system. It also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that provides relaxing but focused energy
How should matcha be stored?
Matcha should be stored airtight, cool and protected from light to preserve its freshness. It is recommended to store it in the refrigerator to prevent oxidation
Can you use matcha in recipes?
Yes! Matcha is very versatile and can be used not only as a tea, but also in smoothies, lattes, desserts or for baking.
How much caffeine does matcha contain?
Matcha contains about 35 mg of caffeine per gram, which is about one-third to one-half the caffeine content of a cup of coffee. Because the caffeine in matcha is released more slowly due to L-theanine, it produces a steady, long-lasting energy boost.
Is matcha vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, matcha is both vegan and gluten-free and contains no animal products or gluten.
