FAQs
What is matcha and how is it different from regular green tea?
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, where you steep the leaves and discard them, matcha is whisked into water so you consume the entire leaf. This makes it richer in antioxidants, amino acids (like L-theanine), and natural caffeine.
How should I store my matcha to keep it fresh?
Matcha is sensitive to air, light, and heat. After opening, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. For maximum freshness, keep it in the refrigerator and always reseal it tightly after use.
What’s the best way to prepare matcha?
Traditionally, matcha is whisked with hot (not boiling) water using a bamboo whisk until frothy. Use about 2-3 g of matcha with 40-50 ml of water at 70–80°C. You can also enjoy it as a latte with milk, in smoothies, or even in baking recipes.
Does matcha contain caffeine?
Yes. Matcha contains roughly the same caffeine as a cup of coffee, but its effects feel different. Thanks to L-theanine, an amino acid naturally present in matcha, the energy boost is smoother and longer-lasting, without the jitters or crash.
What are the health benefits of matcha?
Matcha is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help support metabolism, detoxification, calm focus, and overall wellness. Many people enjoy matcha for sustained energy, mental clarity, and its unique combination of calm alertness.
