Traditional vs. Ceremonial Matcha Tea

  • Ceremonial Matcha

    The premium matcha tea is characterized by its gentle, full-bodied aroma. It is made from the leaves of the first harvest (spring). These leaves are younger and more tender, resulting in a finer taste.

    Ceremonial Matcha is considered to be of particularly high quality and is often more expensive than traditional Matcha tea. Additionally, our Ceremonial Matcha has a higher caffeine content of 3290 mg per 100g than the traditional.

  • Traditional Matcha

    Traditional Matcha is made from leaves of the first and second harvest. This blend can lead to a slightly more intense flavor.

    The taste of Traditional Matcha can be perceived as robust or strong, yet it retains the characteristic sweetness and slightly bitter flavor of matcha tea. Our Traditional Matcha contains 2950 mg of caffeine per 100g.

DELICIOUS ON ONE HAND, GOOD FOR YOU ON THE OTHER.

What is matcha tea actually?

We reveal to you what the trend food is that has taken the world by storm: Matcha consists of fine powder made from the dried leaves of green tea. The name itself comes from Japanese, 抹茶(ma cha), and literally means "ground tea." The Japanese have loved and used it for their traditional tea ceremony for a long time. Meanwhile, Matcha is not only drunk but also eaten – whether as cake, Matcha chocolate, or ice cream. With its delicate sweet to refreshingly bitter taste, the powder impresses as both a solo and team player. Sweet, creamy, fluffy; many things harmonize with Matcha tea.

Green power for your well-being

  • Ingredients of Matcha

    Just as tea is generally, Matcha is also a wonderful alternative to other beverages. Unlike energy drinks and soda, pure Matcha is sugar-free and completely natural – provided you prepare it solely with water. The delicious powder can do quite a bit:

    • Catechins
    • antioxidants
    • amino acids
    • Calcium
    • beta-carotene
    • vitamin E and C
    • caffeine/theine
Gentle wake-up call: Matcha instead of coffee

Without the caffeine kick in the morning, you are not approachable? The afternoon slump regularly makes your eyes droop during work? Coffee is often the first choice when we want to wake up – but too much of it is not good for the body. Moreover, the bitter bean does not please every palate. Nevertheless, you don't have to give up all pick-me-ups right away: Try Matcha instead of coffee! The gentle taste of our premium matcha powder makes even sensitive palates happy. The caffeine it contains, sometimes referred to as theine, can give you a similar energy boost as coffee. At the same time, the green tea powder is a bit gentler on you – a cup made from about one teaspoon of Matcha contains around 70 mg of caffeine. Coffee, on the other hand, ranges from 80 to 130 mg for the same amount.

This is how you prepare Matcha.

The big difference to conventional tea is that Matcha is not steeped and does not need to brew. No plant parts are left over. Instead, you mix water with the powder. This way, you drink the tea leaf in its entirety and absorb all the valuable ingredients. Whether you prepare your Matcha ceremonially or with modern utensils from Western cuisine is up to you! We will present both methods to you below. For the optimal preparation of Matcha tea, we recommend our Matcha sets.

Detailed Instructions

  • Matcha green tea: the traditional way

    If you want to enjoy your Matcha in the most traditional way, you need the right Matcha equipment, as used in Japanese Matcha preparation:

    Heat the low-calcium water to a maximum of 80 degrees. Using the bamboo spoon, add some Matcha to the bowl. Pour in hot water, but: First, just enough to mix with the tea powder into a paste to avoid lumps. Once you have stirred the paste until smooth, pour in the remaining water while stirring into the matcha bowl and use the bamboo whisk to mix the paste and water and whip it into a froth.

  • Matcha green tea: the modern way

    Cup, teaspoon, and milk frother are items that most of us already have at home. You can proceed here just like in the traditional way: Mix hot water and Matcha into a paste and then pour more hot (or even cold) water over it. The milk frother stirs everything thoroughly and creates the delicious foam on top. 

    Our tip: We still recommend using a whisk to prevent too much foam from forming. Additionally, stirring with the chasen is part of the ritual and has a meditative quality.

    Add soy milk, rice syrup, ice cubes or completely different ingredients to your heart's content! Do you need inspiration or want to enjoy your Matcha as a Matcha Latte or Iced Matcha Latte? Then take a look at our ever-growing recipe collection.
