Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder made from shade-grown tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, you consume the whole leaf, which gives matcha its rich taste and concentrated nutrients.
FAQs
1. What is Matcha?
2. What is ceremonial-grade matcha?
Ceremonial-grade matcha is a higher-grade matcha made from younger tea leaves and is best enjoyed with water/milk. It usually has a smoother, less bitter taste than culinary matcha.
3. What is the difference between ceremonial & culinary matcha?
Ceremonial matcha is best for drinking straight, while culinary matcha is better for lattes, smoothies, desserts, and recipes where a stronger flavor is useful.
4. Is Trusavor matcha sourced from Japan?
Trusavor offers Japanese matcha selected for quality, taste, and everyday usability. Product pages should specify origin, harvest details, and best use for each product.
5. How should I store matcha?
Store matcha in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. For best freshness, keep it sealed and use it consistently after opening.
6. Can I use matcha for lattes?
Yes. Culinary matcha and some everyday ceremonial blends work well in lattes because they have enough body and flavor to pair with milk.
7. Does matcha contain caffeine?
Yes, matcha naturally contains caffeine. Because you consume the whole tea leaf in powdered form, matcha can provide steadier, more sustained energy.
