Culinary Grade Matcha Tea Powder (1 oz Tin)

Made famous by Japanese Zen monks, Matcha has been used for centuries to create a sense of calm and focused alertness in both meditation and mindful living. Its harvest and production have been refined to a skillful art while its method of tranquil enjoyment has culminated in the sacred Japanese tea ceremony.

Culinary Matcha is produced from the second round of harvest in late spring, known as second-flush. Lighter in color and more robust in flavor than Ceremonial Matcha, this matcha shines through in lattes, smoothies, and baked goods with a powerfully nutty, green, umami flavor.

Unlike Culinary Matcha, Ceremonial Matcha is best enjoyed unsweetened as traditional straight matcha tea. Learn more about the differences between ceremonial and culinary grade matcha on our blog.

Ingredients: Culinary Grade Matcha Green Tea powder

Directions for Traditional Preparation (makes 8oz of Matcha):
Measure 1 tsp Matcha with a bamboo spoon and sift into a matcha bowl or chawan. Next, pour 2 oz of water heated to approximately 175°F into the bowl and whisk into a smooth paste. Add 6 oz of water and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk until it forms a thick "froth." Thereafter, the mighty brew is sipped directly from the bowl.
