All you need to know about Culinary Grade Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

What grade of Matcha is yours?

Ours is a Culinary Grade, intended to be prepared as a drinking tea or added to Beverages such as smoothies and milk or as an ingredient in Cooking recipes.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes, each serving (1g) contains approximately 30mg of caffeine, equivalent to 1/3 of a cup of coffee. Matcha also contains Theanine, which has a calming effect and reduces the effects of caffeine.

How is it prepared?

The preparation of traditional Matcha consists of adding 80 ml of water at a temperature between 60° and 75° (not boiling temperature) and 1 portion (1g) of Matcha. Shake quickly using a traditional Matcha Whisk or a normal kitchen whisk.

What is the difference between Premium Grade, Culinary Grade and Ceremonial Grade?

The Culinary grade (lower quality) is used in recipes and as an ingredient in cooking, Premium Matcha is lower quality than Ceremonial, but is still a great alternative to Ceremonial Matcha and is ideal for adding to milk, yogurt, smoothies or in cooking. Finally, the Ceremonial grade, the most valuable, is intended to be traditionally prepared as a drinking tea and comes from first-harvest leaves finely stone ground.

Matcha Latte
Preparation time: ~5 min

To enjoy a perfect matcha latte, you’ll need a few traditional Japanese tools:

Chashaku – a thin bamboo spoon that scoops the right amount (1g) of matcha for one cup.

Chasen – a wide and stout bamboo whisk, ideal for mixing the tea powder evenly without altering its taste.

If you don’t have these tools, you can simply use a regular kitchen whisk or a milk frother.

Ingredients

· 1g of matcha (one teaspoon)
· Sugar (to taste)

Preparation
· Heat the milk (without bringing it to a boil!).
· Use the chashaku to pour the matcha into a large cup and add sugar.
· Add a couple of tablespoons of hot water (40ml), whisking thoroughly with the chasen.
· Once you obtain a creamy, lump-free mixture, pour in the milk.

Note: Alternatively, you can use cold milk and add ice cubes before serving.
