Matcha Tea Powder, Culinary Grade (Organic/Fair Trade)

Matcha is a green tea produced from shade-grown tea leaves and milled into a fine powder. It has a smooth, refreshing, slightly sweet flavor, a vibrant green color, and a silky texture.

Our Organic Fair Trade Matcha Tea is culinary-grade. Culinary-grade matcha is a very high-quality tea with a slightly different flavor profile than ceremonial-grade matcha. Culinary-grade matcha isn’t necessarily a lower-quality product than ceremonial-grade matcha, either; it’s just prepared differently for a different use, and it features different characteristics. It has a more robust flavor than ceremonial-grade matcha and is slightly less sweet, with more bitter notes.

Matcha tastes delicious as an iced tea, the traditional hot tea, and makes wonderful green tea lattes and matcha smoothies. Its enhanced flavor profile pairs perfectly with other flavors, and it is a versatile ingredient commonly used in a variety of sweet and baked goods, including ice cream, pies, mousse, cupcakes, shortbread cookies, and pancakes.
