Product FAQ

Q. What distinguishes ceremonial-grade matcha from culinary-grade?

A. Ceremonial-grade matcha is made from the youngest, shade-grown leaves, stone-ground to a fine powder—resulting in a smoother, more vibrant flavor and color. Culinary-grade uses slightly older leaves and has a stronger, more astringent taste, better suited for cooking and baking.

Q. How much caffeine is in a cup of matcha?

A. One teaspoon (~2 g) of matcha contains about 35 mg of caffeine—roughly half a typical coffee—delivered over several hours for sustained alertness without jitters.

Q. Why whisk matcha instead of steeping?

A. Whisking suspends the powder in water, fully extracting flavor, antioxidants, and L-theanine. Steeping would leave most of the nutrients undissolved in the leaves.

Q. What’s the best water temperature for matcha?

A. Aim for 70–80 °C (just below boiling). Too-hot water scorches the powder, causing bitterness; cooler water preserves matcha’s sweetness and umami profile.

Q. Can I reuse matcha powder?

A. No—matcha is fully consumed when whisked into water; there’s no leaf residue to re-brew.

Q. How should I store matcha to maintain freshness?

A. Keep in an airtight, opaque tin in the refrigerator or a cool, dark cupboard. Use within 4–6 weeks of opening to enjoy its brightest color and flavor.
