What is Matcha?

Matcha is finely ground green tea from Japan. It uses the leaves of the so-called Tencha tea, which are shaded before harvesting.

Unlike classic green tea, with matcha the whole leaf is consumed – this results in a fuller taste and a particularly intense color.

Matcha is not brewed, but rather drunk whole as a finely ground tea powder. This creates a more intense taste experience – and a different kind of energy.

Many appreciate matcha as Alternative to coffee: For clear focus, without the typical highs and lows. Through the combination of caffeine and naturally occurring L-Theanine is often perceived as making matcha more even and calmer.

HOW-TO

Preparing matcha easily

1. Dosage of matcha: Using a bamboo spoon or a teaspoon, add 1-2 slightly heaped teaspoons of matcha to your chawan.

2. Add water: Pour 70–100 ml of water (approx. 80 °C) into the bowl. Make sure the water is not boiling hot, otherwise the matcha will become bitter.

3. Serve: Beat the matcha with the chasen in quick W- or M-movements until a fine, fluffy layer of foam is formed.

4. Enjoy: Take a moment to consciously enjoy the matcha. In Japan, they say: "Itadakimasu" – as a sign of gratitude before drinking.

Benefits – Matcha and its natural properties

Matcha naturally contains caffeine as well as L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea.

Since matcha is consumed as a whole tea leaf in powder form, the caffeine is not absorbed "all at once" like with coffee, but is part of the natural tea composition.

Many people therefore describe the enjoyment of matcha as more consistent compared to other caffeinated drinks and consciously choose it for quiet drinking moments in everyday life.

The Traditional Matcha has a slightly more intense flavor than the Ceremonial Matcha. I actually enjoy drinking both neat, but I still prefer the Ceremonial Matcha.

In the summer, I like to drink an Iced Matcha Latte with our Traditional Matcha and a splash of rice and coconut milk. On colder days, it has to be our Ceremonial Matcha – pure with warm water, with no additives!
Nancy Tabillion

One of my favorite matcha brands I’ve tried! It’s very smooth, has a good flavor, and is an overall good matcha for a reasonable price. I will def buy it again!
Thuha Nguyen

My absolute favorite matcha 💚
I've tried many varieties, but this one is my undisputed favorite. Whether warm with oat milk or iced with mango puree, it's the perfect energy booster and exactly what I like to start my morning with.

production

Our tea farm is a traditional family business that has been in operation for several generations and has been producing organic matcha for several decades.
Our quality is confirmed by the strict standards of the organic certificate from the Japanese certification body JONA and the German organic certification.
Cultivation

The tea farmers protect the plants from the sun with black textile sheets or, traditionally, straw. Solar panels are also used. This increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves and softens the flavor. Cultivation is carried out without pesticides. Annual soil samples are taken, as well as laboratory tests for heavy metal and radiation contamination, to ensure the highest possible quality. Furthermore, each batch is carefully tested for its mineral content.
origin

The Matcha tea growing region is one of the best and oldest in Japan: the Uji region, west of Osaka. The region is known for its clean water and nutrient-rich soil, free of pesticides. The climate is ideal: mist from the Uji and Kizu rivers keeps the tea plants moist and reduces the risk of frost damage.
Labor-tested
Transparency you can taste: Our organic matcha is regularly tested by independent laboratories.
Why? Because we drink our own matcha every day – and because we want you to know exactly what's in your cup.
The results show:
- No pesticides detected
- Heavy metals significantly below EU limits
- Very good microbiological quality
We make all test reports available here transparently.

FAQ's about Matcha

Why is Uji Matcha of particularly high quality?

Uji is one of Japan's oldest and most renowned tea regions. The climate, soil, and centuries-old processing traditions result in particularly well-balanced, umami-rich matcha.

How much caffeine does matcha contain?

Traditional Matcha, due to the blend of first and second harvests, contains slightly less caffeine than Ceremonial Grade, but still offers a natural, long-lasting energy effect.

What is Traditional Matcha?

Traditional Matcha is a high-quality Japanese green tea made from a blend of first and second harvest teas. It has a more intense flavor than Ceremonial Matcha and is often used for lattes or for everyday consumption.

What does traditional matcha taste like?

It tastes stronger, slightly bitter, and less sweet than Ceremonial Matcha. At the same time, it remains creamy and balanced, especially when prepared as a latte.

Is matcha suitable for lattes?

Traditional matcha is ideal for matcha lattes, smoothies, or everyday enjoyment. Its more intense flavor remains clearly present even when combined with milk or plant-based drinks.

Where does matcha come from?

From Uji in Kyoto, one of Japan's most traditional regions for high-quality green tea.

Is Traditional suitable for beginners?

Yes, especially for beginners who want to drink matcha more as a latte or in everyday life. The taste is stronger and therefore very easy to combine with other ingredients.

Super delicious

I have always had the ceremonial variant, but I must say that I am convinced by these. Tastes super good and has a really nice color.

My all-time favorite Matcha <3

Absolutely recommended! I have already tried countless brands and always come back to this one. This is by far the best Matcha! 🍵 It tastes perfectly "green" to me and is also easy to dose. I don't need a sieve because this one is so finely ground! The color is always my highlight! So beautifully bright and deep green! 😍 I always reorder the 250g package. TOTALLY worth it!

Absolutely recommended price-performance ratio

I have been using the Healthbar Matcha for so long - I have always drunk a lot of matcha, so over time I have tried many different powders from different brands. Hardly any tastes as good and 'real' as this one - especially for this price-performance ratio. Clear recommendation! Unfortunately, the large package only lasts me 2 months🙈

Heartfelt recommendation

I drink matcha twice a day and love it. I wish there were larger metal containers, as I will definitely buy the largest package next time, since due to my consumption it is the best option. So buy and try - so far I haven't found a better matcha anywhere.

Super delicious - everything as shown and described.

the more affordable sister of ceremonial matcha

A great, more affordable alternative to ceremonial-grade matcha — perfect if you want to enjoy café-quality matcha at home. You can barely taste the difference from 100% first-harvest matcha. I think it's so cool that you're offering this, because not everyone can afford a €6 matcha at a café.

Lieblingsmarke

Finde den matcha von healthbar einfach am besten. Sowohl die Farbe als auch der Geschmack übertrifft einfach immer und ist den Preis mehr als gerechtfertigt

Perfekt!

Wenn man einmal diesen Matcha Standard erreicht hat, schmeckt jeder andere Matcha nur noch zweitklassig. Ich liebe die Health-Bar Matchas einfach!

Sehr gute Qualität, schnelle Lieferung 💗

Praktische Verpackung, gute Qualität, Lieblings grün

Der beste Matcha!

Ich habe schon so viele unzählige Matcha Sorten getestet und dieser ist wirklich der beste. Mittlerweile hole ich mir draußen kaum noch Matcha Latte, da diese oft mindere Qualität haben und ich lieber meinen eigenen zuhause trinke

Super Produkt!

Ich bin großer matcha lover - daily lover! Bin rein zufällig auf health bar gestoßen und habe es ausprobiert. Das packaging und die Qualität sind 1A! Der matcha ist nicht grasig (wie oft bei minderwertigen Produkten) auch die Farbe eine glatte 9,5/10! Das bonusprogramm finde ich auch sehr ansprechend. Im Winter habe ich sogar damit gebacken - sooo intensiv und lecker!

Liebster Matcha

Absolut empfehlenswert, Geschmack ist nicht zu toppen.

Mein alltime fave Matcha <3

Absolut empfehlenswert! Habe bereits unzählige Marken probiert und bin immer wieder zu diesem hier zurückgekommen. Das ist mit Abstand der beste Matcha! 🍵 er schmeckt für mich perfekt „grün“ und ist auch leicht dosierbar. Brauche keinen Sieb weil dieser hier so schön fein ist! Die Farbe ist jedesmal mein Highlight! so schön leuchtend und tiefes Grün! 😍 bestelle die 250g Packung immer wieder nach. LOHNT sich total!

Die intensivere Schwester vom Ceremonial Matcha ☺️

Ich bin ein großer Fan vom Ceremonial Matcha und wollte dem Traditional Matcha auch mal probieren. Ich würde es als die intensivere, leicht bittere Schwester vom Ceremonial Matcha beschreiben. Ohne hier zu sagen, dass der eine besser ist als der andere. Wenn man sich an einen umso kräftigeren Tee-Geschmack für Matcha traut ist diese Sorte worth a try 🥰
