Frequently Asked Questions

• What is ceremonial grade matcha?

  Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality matcha, made from the youngest tea leaves and stone-milled to a fine powder. It has a vibrant green color, smooth texture, and delicate umami flavor perfect for traditional tea ceremonies.

• How should I store my matcha?

  Store matcha in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. For best freshness, keep it refrigerated and consume within 1-2 months of opening. Always use a clean, dry spoon to avoid moisture contamination.

• What is the difference between ceremonial and culinary grade?

  Ceremonial grade is made from the finest leaves and is meant to be whisked with water and enjoyed on its own. Culinary grade uses second harvest or older leaves and is perfect for lattes, smoothies, and baking.

• Does matcha have less caffeine than coffee?

  Gram for gram, matcha actually contains more caffeine than coffee beans. However, because a standard cup of matcha only uses about 2 grams of green tea powder, a finished cup of matcha contains slightly less caffeine (~60–80 mg) than an average 240ml cup of brewed coffee (~90–100 mg)
