Questions

Does matcha have caffeine?

Yes. Matcha contains caffeine along with L-theanine, an amino acid that many people find gives steadier energy than coffee, without the crash.

What's the best matcha-to-water ratio?

We use 4g of matcha to 40g of water at 70°C, whisked until frothy, then poured over hot or iced milk.

Is it tested for heavy metals?

Yes. Every batch is tested for heavy metals before it's packed.

Where is it from?

Uji, Kyoto, Japan. The leaves are shade-grown for 30 days, steamed into tencha and stone-ground.

How should I store it once opened?

Seal the pouch and keep it in a cool, dry place. Use it within a couple of months for the brightest colour and flavour.
