What Is Matcha? A Beginners Guide to Matcha Tea
Over the last decade, matcha has captured global attention in coffeehouses, bakeries, and health-minded kitchens alike. Its vibrant emerald hue and gentle, earthy taste make it a standout among teas. Yet behind the Instagram-worthy lattes and trendy confections lies a centuries-old Japanese tradition—one that offers a soothing ritual, a surge of focused energy, and a wealth of nutritional benefits.
What Is Matcha Tea?
Matcha begins with specially shaded Japanese tea leaves, carefully picked and then stone-ground into a fine, bright-green powder. Because you consume the ground leaves themselves, matcha delivers more antioxidants, chlorophyll, and amino acids than typical steeped tea. The result is a balanced, uplifting brew that can be whisked into hot water or milk for a frothy, satisfying drink.
Why Is Matcha So Popular?
Full-Leaf Goodness
When you drink matcha, you’re ingesting the entire tea leaf, maximizing beneficial compounds like catechins. Our Supreme Matcha Powder is rich in EGCG and other powerful antioxidants known to support metabolism, reduce inflammation, and protect cellular health.
Smooth, Lasting Energy
Unlike coffee, matcha boasts L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm alertness without the crash. This combination of caffeine and L-theanine delivers sustained energy ideal for productivity, focus, and even meditation.
Incredible Culinary Versatility
From cozy morning cups to imaginative lattes, baked treats, smoothie bowls, and even savory dishes, matcha seamlessly fits into countless recipes. Learn how to make matcha tea at home and explore its creative uses across your menu.

Tips for Making the Perfect Matcha
Storage
Keep it sealed in the fridge to maintain color and flavor. Aim to use your matcha within two months of opening.
Whisking
A bamboo whisk (chasen) or electric frother helps avoid clumps and creates that signature foam top layer.
Water Temperature
Use water between 175–185°F to avoid scorching the matcha and preserving its natural sweetness.
Flavor Adjustment
If you’re new to matcha or find it too grassy, a small amount of honey or maple syrup can enhance the taste.
