Organic Premium Matcha Powder – Culinary Grade (For Recipes)

Our Organic Culinary Matcha Powder is made from organically grown Japanese green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), carefully shade-grown, hand-picked, steamed, dried, and stone-milled into a fine powder. Unlike regular green tea powder or tea bag, matcha provides concentrated nutrition — one cup of matcha equals 10–15 cups of typical green tea. To put it simply, matcha = concentrated green tea. Traditionally enjoyed in Japan for centuries, matcha is celebrated today for its unique synergy of EGCG antioxidants, caffeine and L-theanine, delivering calm, focused energy that lasts for hours without the jitters of coffee.

What makes our Organic Culinary Matcha special? It is sourced from the tea-growing regions of Japan and certified organic, ensuring purity without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Our matcha is also heavy metal-safe for your peace of mind. While the colour of organic matcha may appear slightly less vibrant than non-organic grades, this reflects its natural cultivation process without the use of synthetic fertilizers. Our culinary-grade matcha is versatile in use — perfect for lattes, smoothies, baking, and desserts — while still delivering the full spectrum of matcha’s antioxidants, amino acids, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals.

Why Choose Culinary Matcha Powder: If you want to make Matcha lattes or use Matcha in backing recipes, choose our Culinary Matcha powder which blends smoothly into recipes, offering a distinct matcha flavor. With its rich antioxidant profile, chlorophyll for detoxification, and amino acids for relaxation and focus, it’s a superfood that supports energy, mood, metabolism, and overall vitality.

Science-Backed Health Benefits

• Sustained Focus & Calm Energy: Studies show that matcha supports mental clarity and calm alertness, making it ideal for work or study. Unlike coffee, which can spike energy and then drop sharply, matcha provides balanced energy for 4–6 hours. This effect comes from the unique synergy of EGCG, caffeine and L‑theanine in matcha.
• Supports Brain Health: Daily consumption of Matcha Powder has shown to have protective effects against cognitive decline in elderly people.
• Boosts Metabolism by Enhancing Fat Burning: Drinking matcha before exercise has shown to help enhance fat oxidation during 30-min brisk walking, meaning it helps the body burn more fat as fuel during moderate exercise. This is inked to matcha’s bioactive compounds — especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and caffeine.
• Helps Reduce Stress & Anxiety: The catechins and amino acids in matcha — especially L‑theanine — play a key role in stress reduction and mental well‑being.
• Supports Gut Health: Matcha catechins promote the growth of beneficial bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus) while suppressing harmful bacteria.
• Supports Liver Health: Matcha’s catechins, especially EGCG, help prevent fat accumulation in the liver, which is linked to fatty liver disease. The antioxidants in matcha help reduce inflammation, protecting liver cells from damage. This indirectly supports the liver’s detox functions.

The Story of Matcha
