FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ceremonial and Latte grade?

Both grades come from the same first-harvest, stone-ground tencha in Uji. Ceremonial Grade is the finest selection: vivid jade colour, smooth umami sweetness — best whisked and drunk straight. Premium Latte Grade is slightly bolder and more robust, crafted to hold its own against milk, sweeteners and ice. Neither grade is better — they are made for different moments.

How much caffeine is in matcha?

A standard 2g serving contains roughly 60–70mg of caffeine — similar to an espresso, but released gradually over several hours thanks to L-theanine. The result is calm, focused energy without the spike and crash of coffee.

How many servings are in a tin?

At 2g per serving, our 30g Ceremonial Grade tin makes approximately 15 servings. Our Premium Latte Grade tins make approximately 30 servings (60g) or 50 servings (100g).

How should I store my matcha?

Keep the tin sealed, cool and away from light. Refrigeration after opening is ideal — but always let the tin come to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation. Matcha is best consumed within 4–6 weeks of opening.

Is matcha healthy?

Matcha is rich in catechins (notably EGCG), L-theanine and antioxidants, and has been part of Japanese tea culture for centuries. We will never over-promise — we simply suggest you make it part of a considered daily ritual.
