Matcha 101: Origins, Grades, and Benefits

What is matcha? Matcha is a finely milled, shade-grown green tea from Japan. Shading for 20–30 days before harvest boosts chlorophyll (color) and L-theanine (calming sweetness), while moderating catechins to reduce bitterness. After hand-picking, the leaves are steamed to halt oxidation, dried into tencha, then stone-ground into a talc-fine powder. Because you drink the whole leaf—rather than steeping and discarding—you enjoy the full spectrum of amino acids, antioxidants, and micronutrients in every cup.

Grades explained: Ceremonial grade is selected from the youngest spring leaves for a satin mouthfeel, layered umami, and a sweet, lingering finish—best enjoyed straight as usucha (thin) or koicha (thick). Latte grade (sometimes labeled “barista” or “daily ceremonial”) balances clarity and body to cut through milk while preserving a silky texture. Culinary grade is optimized for heat and mixing—perfect for baking, smoothies, desserts, and iced drinks. In simple terms: sip ceremonial, steam latte grade, and cook with culinary.

Flavor & color cues: Vibrant, emerald green indicates careful shading and fresh milling; dull olive tones can hint at age or less shading. On the palate, look for creamy umami, subtle natural sweetness, and a clean finish. High-quality matcha forms a fine, persistent foam within seconds when whisked properly, with minimal sediment.

Matcha health benefits: Many drinkers value matcha for calm, steady energy—thanks to the interplay of moderate caffeine and L-theanine that supports focused alertness without jitters. Antioxidant catechins (including EGCG) support cellular defense; chlorophyll contributes to gentle detox associations; polyphenols and micronutrients (like vitamin C and manganese) round out the daily wellness profile. Because you’re consuming the leaf itself, a small serving goes a long way—most people find 1–2 grams per serving ideal for everyday use.

Brewing Guide: Traditional, Latte, and Iced

Traditional (usucha): Sift 1–2 g (½–1 tsp) ceremonial matcha into a warm bowl. Add 60–80 ml of 75–80 °C water. Whisk briskly in a “W” motion for 15–20 seconds until glossy and frothy. Sip immediately.

Thick tea (koicha): Sift 3–4 g into a warm bowl. Add ~30–40 ml of 70–75 °C water. Gently knead with the whisk into a syrupy, foam-less texture. Expect an intense, nuanced cup with pronounced umami and sweetness.

Hot latte: Sift 2 g ceremonial or latte grade into a cup. Bloom with 30 ml hot water (75–80 °C), whisk smooth, then top with 150–200 ml heated milk (oat, almond, dairy). Sweeten to taste with honey or date syrup.

Iced latte / shaken matcha: Sift 2 g into a jar. Add 60 ml hot water, whisk or shake until smooth. Add ice, 120–180 ml cold milk, and optional sweetener. Shake vigorously for a café-style texture.

Blends & baking: Use culinary grade for heat. For cakes or cookies, 1–2 tbsp per batch yields vivid green crumb and gentle grassy sweetness. In smoothies, 1–1.5 g boosts flavor and focus without overwhelming fruit.

Pro tips: Always sift for a lump-free, silky bowl. Use fresh, filtered water—off-boil is ideal. Pre-warm bowls and mugs to keep foam stable. Clean your whisk with warm water only; dry naturally. Store tins cold and airtight after opening, and use within 30–60 days for peak vibrancy.

FAQ: Preparation, Storage, Shipping

Which matcha grade should I choose?

For straight sipping, start with ceremonial grade. If you mainly make lattes, select latte/barista grade for a balanced, milk-friendly profile. For baking or smoothies, use culinary grade to lock in color and flavor under heat.

How much matcha should I use per cup?

Most people enjoy 1–2 g per serving. For lattes, 2 g offers a café-style cup with rounded body; for koicha, 3–4 g creates an intense, syrupy experience.

What water temperature is best?

75–80 °C preserves sweetness and aroma. Hotter water can emphasize bitterness; cooler water may under-extract flavor. For iced matcha, still bloom the powder with hot water first for a smooth base.

How do I store matcha after opening?

Reseal tightly, keep away from light and heat, and refrigerate after opening. Consume within 30–60 days for color and flavor at their best.

Is matcha gluten-free and vegan?

Pure matcha is simply ground tea leaves—naturally vegan and gluten-free. Check any flavored blends for additional ingredients if you have dietary restrictions.

Do you offer subscriptions and bulk options?

Yes—set your matcha subscription cadence at checkout to keep tins arriving on time, and contact us for wholesale matcha programs tailored to cafés, studios, or corporate gifting.

How fast is shipping?

UAE delivery is typically within 48 hours; international orders arrive in 3–4 days. You’ll receive tracking once your order ships.

Which tools do I really need?

Minimum: a sifter and whisk. For the full ritual, add a bowl, scoop, and a well-sealing canister. Shop tools in our Accessories and Drinkware collections.
