How is it prepared?

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.

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

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, Ceremonial grade, the most prized, is intended to be traditionally prepared as a drinking tea and comes from first-harvest leaves finely stone ground.

From Japanese organic crops

The quality of Matcha green tea varies and also depends on the type of plantation used for cultivation. The main plantation varieties are: Yabukita, Okumidori, Samudori and Asahi.

Yabukita is certainly the main plantation variety from which the finest and best Matcha tea is obtained.

NaturaleBio Matcha Tea comes from Yakubita plantations .

Hilly and mountainous areas are ideal for growing an excellent quality of Matcha. Matcha tea is harvested around mid-May, but 15-20 days before, Japanese growers protect the plantations from the sun. In ancient times, they used straw, but today black curtains are used to protect the plantation from the sun's rays. This cultivation method preserves all the properties of Matcha tea intact and unaltered. Protecting the tea leaves from the sun means maintaining high levels of chlorophyll and theanine, this process is essential to preserve the beneficial properties of tea.

Chasen: a large and squat whisk made of bamboo, ideal for mixing the tea powder evenly without altering its taste. If you don't have them, you can easily use a simple kitchen whisk or a milk frother.

    Ingredients
    • 250ml of milk
    • 1g Matcha (one teaspoon)
    • sugar (to taste)
    Preparation

    Heat the milk (but don't boil it!). Pour the matcha with the help of the Chashaku into a nice large cup and add the sugar. Add a couple of spoons of hot water (40ml) mixing very well with the help of the Chasen. When you have obtained a creamy mixture without lumps pour in the milk. NB Alternatively you can use cold milk and add some ice cubes before serving .

Super delicious!

The matcha comes in a high quality resealable plastic bag. The quality and flavor are great! However, it does not dissolve perfectly in a cold liquid.

Good product!

The best you can find at this price! I use it just to make cold matcha at home and have already ordered it twice. It also keeps for a long time because you don't need a lot of matcha powder: mix a teaspoon of matcha with some hot water (important: not boiling) and agave syrup. Skim the barista's oat milk with cinnamon and pour over the matcha - done!

Lovely green tea

This is our second purchase, my daughter and I love drinking this tea!

well

Matcha tea does not have the sweet and refreshing taste of Matcha that we know in Japan. It has a sour taste. To be honest, I ruined my matcha chiffon cake. The cream of the cake tasted slightly rough. Better to spend a few more euros....
