Matcha tea powder is a fine powder made from specially grown green tea leaves , traditionally shade-grown for around three weeks before harvest. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed , dried and stone-ground into a vibrant green powder —resulting in what many call the best matcha green tea powder .
Used for centuries in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony , matcha offers a rich umami flavour and vibrant colour. When you drink matcha, it differs from regular green tea powder in both preparation and taste, as it is made from whole leaves rather than infusions, making it a more concentrated source of nutrients .
Matcha is typically divided into two main types: ceremonial grade matcha powder and culinary grade matcha . Ceremonial grade is the highest quality, made from the youngest leaves with the most delicate umami flavour —perfect for whisking with water in a matcha bowl using a bamboo whisk . Culinary grade is slightly more robust tea and ideal for blending into lattes , smoothies or baking recipes .
To enjoy traditional matcha , start by sifting 1–2 grams of matcha into a bowl. Add hot (but not boiling) water , and use a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a zig-zag motion until a light froth appears. This method brings out the tea’s umami flavour and smooth texture , reminiscent of rituals once practised by Buddhist monks for focus and meditation .
Beyond traditional tea, matcha green tea powder is a versatile ingredient . Enjoy it in a matcha latte with oat milk for a creamy, modern twist, or incorporate it into smoothies , energy balls or even cakes . The unique umami flavour and earthy taste of powder green tea blend well with sweet or nutty flavours , making it a favourite in health-focused kitchens .
One of the key benefits of matcha is its rich concentration of antioxidants —particularly catechins such as EGCG . It provides a gentle, sustained energy boost thanks to its combination of caffeine and L-theanine , a property that made it popular among Buddhist monks for meditation and clarity . Matcha also supports digestion , immunity and mental focus , making it more than just a daily ritual—it's a wellness essential .
