Frequently Asked Questions

What makes culinary matcha different from ceremonial matcha?

Culinary matcha and ceremonial matcha come from the same tea plant (Camellia Sinensis) but are processed and used differently. Ceremonial grade matcha is made from the youngest tea leaves, resulting in a smoother, naturally sweeter taste and a vibrant green color. It's intended to be enjoyed on its own, traditionally whisked with water.

Culinary grade matcha, on the other hand, is made from slightly more mature leaves. Its flavor is stronger, more pronounced, and slightly astringent, which makes it well-suited for recipes where the matcha flavor needs to be highlighted when mixed with other ingredients, such as lattes, baked goods, and smoothies.

Why is culinary matcha sometimes more bitter?

Culinary matcha is made from slightly older tea leaves harvested later in the season. These leaves contain higher levels of catechins (Epigallocatechin gallate), the natural compounds that give green tea its astringency. This makes the flavor stronger and more pronounced compared to ceremonial matcha, which is made from the youngest, tender leaves and tends to be naturally sweeter. The strong taste of culinary matcha is intentional, as it allows the flavor to stand out when combined with other ingredients in recipes like baked goods, smoothies, or lattes.

What does high-quality matcha look like?

High-quality matcha has a vibrant, bright green color that comes from carefully shaded tea leaves rich in chlorophyll. The powder should be very fine, smooth, and almost silky to the touch, without visible clumps or a gritty texture. When whisked with water, it creates a thick froth with tiny bubbles, showing that the powder is fresh and finely ground. In contrast, lower-quality matcha often lacks the same color vibrancy, appearing dull, yellowish, or brownish green, and may taste flat or overly bitter.

Is matcha always organic?

Not all matcha is organic. Organic matcha is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or chemicals and is typically certified by organizations such as the USDA or JAS (Japan Agricultural Standards). However, some matcha on the market is conventionally farmed and may not be certified organic. If organic farming practices and accreditation are essential to you, it's best to look for matcha that clearly states "USDA Organic" or "JAS Organic" on the packaging.
