Frequently asked questions
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from shade grown green tea leaves.
Unlike regular tea, where the leaves are steeped and then removed, matcha is whisked directly into water so you drink the entire leaf and all of its natural nutrients and antioxidants.
Good matcha has a bright, vivid green color and a smooth, silky texture. The taste should be rich and naturally sweet with a gentle umami and very little bitterness.
Most importantly, true matcha always comes from Japan. Every Matchatori blend meets these standards, made with care and attention to quality from start to finish.
Both come from the same plant but are grown and enjoyed in different ways. Matcha is shade grown, which increases its chlorophyll and amino acids and gives it a deeper flavor and more nutrients.
It is also consumed as a powder, meaning you drink the entire leaf. Regular green tea is steeped in water, so you only get part of the leaf’s natural benefits.
We focus entirely on high quality matcha and offer a range of ceremonial grade options to suit different preferences. Most of our matchas come from the first harvest, which ensures exceptional color, aroma and taste.
We also offer a few premium latte grade matchas made from either first and second or pure second harvests, perfect for everyday lattes.
Our matcha comes directly from family owned farms across Japan in Kagoshima, Yame, Fuji Shizuoka and Asahina Shizuoka.
Each region has its own unique character and flavor, and our family of tea growers continues to grow as we discover new partners and harvests.
Ceremonial grade is the highest quality, bright in color and smooth in taste, made for traditional preparation with just water.
Premium or latte grade is slightly less delicate but still smooth and flavorful, perfect for lattes and everyday drinking.
Culinary grade is more robust and slightly bitter, ideal for recipes, desserts or smoothies.
A bamboo whisk helps you create the smooth and frothy texture that makes matcha so special. While a milk frother or blender also works well, a chasen gives a finer, more even foam and a more authentic experience. The most important thing is to enjoy the ritual in a way that feels right for you.
