Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between culinary grade and ceremonial grade matcha?
Culinary grade matcha is perfect for cooking, smoothies, lattes, and blending into drinks with its robust flavor and darker green color. The ceremonial grade is typically used for traditional tea ceremonies as the highest grade and has a creamy, sweet taste.
What is the meaning behind "first harvest" and "second harvest"?
The first tea harvest in the year (also known as the first flush tea) is usually the best quality. This is due to vital compounds stored over the winter months which contain increased levels of beneficial amino acids like L-theanine. You can expect the first harvest tea leaves to have a better amino acid profile, better color, and overall sweeter that is very low in bitterness and has great umami flavor.
After the first harvest is done, the tea can be harvested several more times in the year. This matcha has a darker green color and distinctive flavor. The second harvest is the next best quality offered as an affordable way to boost your lattes, smoothies, baked goods, and other recipes.
Can I use this matcha powder if I'm on a specific diet or have dietary restrictions?
Yes, our Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder is organic, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and non-GMO, making it suitable for most diets, including vegan and gluten-sensitive diets.
Are there any health benefits associated with consuming matcha?
Absolutely! Matcha tea has an impressive nutrient profile, being high in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. It's known to enhance focus and concentration, stimulate metabolism, fight signs of premature aging, and improve heart health. Matcha contains caffeine and an amino acid called L-theanine, which provides a smooth, steady energy boost with the jitters or crash.
