Do you need a sieve for matcha? Our high-quality organic matcha doesn't!

If you're familiar with matcha, you've probably heard the tip to sift the powder before preparing it. But is this really necessary? With many types of matcha, sifting can help prevent lumps. But our high-quality organic matcha is so finely ground that a sifter is unnecessary. Learn why this is the case and what benefits it has for you here.

Why is it often recommended to sift matcha?

Many matcha powders tend to clump together due to humidity or static electricity. This can lead to an uneven matcha experience, especially with lower-quality or coarsely ground varieties. Therefore, many preparation methods recommend passing the powder through a fine sieve beforehand to achieve a uniform texture.

But this is not necessary for every matcha – and this is where quality comes into play.

Why our organic matcha doesn't need a sieve

Our Organic Matcha is manufactured to the highest quality. This means:

  • Ultrafine grinding:

    Ultrafine grinding: Our matcha is ground extremely finely using traditional granite stone mills—finer than many standard matcha varieties on the market. Here you can learn more about the special grinding technique.

       

  • Fresh processing:

    High-quality matcha is carefully processed immediately after harvest and packaged airtight to prevent hard lumps from forming.

  • Pure leaves without stems:

    Only the finest, top-quality tea leaves are used for our matcha, giving it a particularly smooth and consistent texture.
