Matcha is a refined powder produced from green tea leaves. It boasts a radiant, emerald green hue and a robust, vegetal flavor. The tea plants for matcha are shaded for a few weeks before harvest, leading to a darker green tea leaf enriched with chlorophyll, caffeine, and l-theanine. Post harvest, the leaves are steamed to halt oxidation. They are then ground into a fine powder and prepared for sale.
Culinary grade matcha is a marginally lower grade of matcha compared to ceremonial grade matcha. It is generally more affordable, and is crafted to be included in lattes, smoothies, baked goods, and diverse recipes. Culinary grade matcha typically has a stronger, less subtle flavor meant to complement other ingredients.
