Where to Buy Matcha Tea?

Cafe grade matcha is made with less delicate tealeaves, has a stronger flavor and is ideal for using in cooking, baking and mixing with milk/yogurt drinks. The price of ingredient grade is related to how green the matcha powder is, denoting the quality of tealeaves used. The greener, or “younger” a matcha is, the more expensive.

Can I drink cafe grade Gotcha Matcha on its own?

Yes, Gotcha Matcha can be prepared as a tea with water, just like our other grades of matcha. The difference will be noticed in the color and flavor. Nutritionally the teas are comparable. All are 100% pure shade covered powdered green tea cultivated, harvested and produced in Japan.

Why sift matcha?

For the same reason bakers sift flour before using. The static electricity in the air encourages powders (be it flour, baking powder, cocoa, etc) to stick together and form clumps. The same is true with matcha green tea powder. Sifting matcha smoothes it out and lets it blend better into your drink or cooking recipe.

Where is this tea sourced?

We sourced this matcha from the environmentally friendly hillside region of Nishio. In the late 1800’s a Buddhist priest introduced the varietal and production techniques of the Uji region used in matcha production. Soon Nishio became a formidable producer of matcha tea.
