QUALITY FAQ
Questions, answered.
A few of the questions we hear most often about origin, testing and composition.
Where does matchita matcha come from?
Our ceremonial matcha comes from Japan and is made from 100% organic Japanese green tea leaves.
Why shouldn’t I use water hotter than 80°C?
Water above 80°C can extract bitter and astringent compounds more strongly, making matcha taste sharper and less balanced. Using slightly cooler water helps preserve its smoother taste, natural sweetness and umami.
Do I need a bamboo whisk or a milk frother?
No. The simplest way is to use a milk frother. It mixes the matcha quickly, creates a wonderful foam and gives a smooth, enjoyable drinking experience. A bamboo whisk is the more traditional method and creates a finer, more delicate foam.
Is matchita ceremonial matcha organic?
