Matcha is the vibrant green tea powder at the heart of the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, prized for both its flavor and health benefits. Made from the finest young, shade-grown gyokuro tea leaves, matcha is crafted through a meticulous process. Leaves are hand-picked, laid flat to dry, de-veined, and then stone-ground in granite mills into a silky, nutrient-rich powder. Preparing matcha at home is simple: whisk 1 teaspoon of matcha with a splash of hot water (160-180°F) to form a smooth paste, then add more water and blend until frothy. The result is a rich, invigorating cup packed with antioxidants, gentle caffeine, and vibrant taste - perfect for mindful moments, matcha lattes, or culinary creations.

Our matcha is a Samidori cultivar from Uji, Japan. It is a high-grade Spring (first harvest) tea. The 2oz tin will make about 24 8-ounce servings.

Can anyone offer information about how many cups the 2 oz. tin will make assuming 1 tsp per cup? I am thinking about buying it but a little skittish since it's so expensive.

I am not sure but they are suggesting that you get 25 cups out of the 2oz it. $29/25 = $1.16/cup using their directions.

25 cups was about right for me. I didn't count, but based on the fact that it lasted a little under a month, and I had one cup nearly every day...
on
I'd say 24 8oz cups. I use 1/2 teaspoon for every 8oz of water.
on
I used 1tsp for my first cup and let me tell you 1tsp is a LOT to use, WAY too much for me. It had my head buzzing it was so strong. I use a tiny scoop maybe 1/5th of a teaspoon now. It's really up to you how much you use but a little goes a long way.
on
At about a teaspoon per cup, you get between 8 or 10 cups. Depends on how you measure the teaspoon. Heaping spoonfuls equal fewer cups, obviously. Absolutely worth the price!

I cant handle caffeine. Should I avoid this tea?

This tea contains quite a bit of caffeine, because you are consuming the entire tea leaf. We do not recommend this tea to those with caffeine sensitivity.

I just purchased a 16oz bag and it arrived. The packaging states the tea is from China, India or South Africa. The statement above reveals 'Our matcha comes from Uji, Kyoto'. Japan is not mentioned on my package. I do want tea from China due to risk of l

Do you need to steep this tea? If I need to I do it steep it? Do you mix the paste and then add water then steep it. I just cannot seem to make the right cup. It is either too watery or too bitter. Also I think I mix it up good as I got the wisk but ther

You do not need to steep - once mixed its ready to drink. We recommend 1 teaspoon of tea per 8oz of hot water, and whisk!

Approximately how many cups does the 2 oz tin make?

The 2oz tin will produce roughly 20-25 cups, but this will vary depending on how 'thick' you like your matcha and how much of the tea you use per cup.

A friend has made a preworkout supplement that includes matcha and bcaas that we take before the gym. We simply add cold water to the mixed powder and shake in a shaker. Is that also an effective way to take it or must it be steeped hot? I would love to t

Hey Christopher. You can make it that way, without whisking, some powder may remain intact, but its still a healthy additive!

I just bought a pound of matcha. How do you suggest the best way to store it to keep as fresh and bright as possible?

on
3 × View replies Hide replies
I have a tight screw on lid tin that I use for powdered objects like flour. As long as it's kept in a dark dry area, that's the best way in my opinion. I don't like the bags because they fall over too easily with me.

@adagio CS What does 'a nice long while' mean in calendar time?
on
Hey Christopher! Right in the pouch is best. Just get the excess air out each time you open it (doesn't have to be airtight) and store the pouch in a cool, dry place like a pantry cabinet. Will remain fresh a nice long while!

Is this the same as the matcha in the traditional matcha sticks?. I really enjoyed those!

Hello Sara! This is a higher grade matcha than the sticks. If you enjoyed those, you're sure to enjoy this!

Under the Q&A for the sticks, a customer is told they're the same grade just different packaging. Very inconsistent answers. I don't think I'll order from you until you get these details worked out and honestly tell us what we're buying. And once again
