QUALITY FAQ

Questions, answered.

A few of the questions we hear most often about origin, testing and composition.

Where does matchita matcha come from?

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.
