Matcha Green Tea Powder, Organic Culinary

• This is matcha made for mixing, where its fuller green tea character can hold its place beside milk, fruit, chocolate or dough.
• The colour is a vivid emerald green, bringing a fresh visual lift to lattes, creams, cakes and simple kitchen experiments.
• Its flavour is rich and vegetal rather than delicate, with the kind of depth that suits recipes as well as drinks.
• The powder format makes it easy to stir, whisk or blend directly into what you are making.
• Choose it when ceremonial matcha would feel too refined for cooking, but ordinary green tea would not give enough presence.

Made from carefully shaded tea leaves from Japan, this matcha keeps the leaf itself at the centre of the experience. After harvest, the leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation, then ground into a fine powder so the green tea becomes part of the drink or recipe rather than an infusion you remove.

For a matcha latte, whisk the powder with a little liquid first to make a smooth paste, then add more liquid gradually. For smoothies, sauces, creams or baking, blend it in slowly so the colour and flavour spread evenly.

Keep the bag sealed between uses and store it somewhere cool, dry and away from strong kitchen smells. Matcha is sensitive to air and moisture, so a careful close after each use helps preserve its colour and taste.

Expect a bold green tea profile with a clean, grassy depth. In a drink, it gives a vivid, savoury edge. In baking or desserts, it brings colour and a gentle bitterness that works especially well against sweetness.

Matcha has a long place in Japanese tea culture, where powdered green tea is whisked with water rather than steeped like loose leaf tea. In the Japanese tea ceremony, known as chanoyu, the preparation is valued for its attention to movement, quiet and presence. Culinary matcha sits in a more practical part of that world: less delicate than ceremonial grades, but well suited to modern kitchens, café-style drinks and recipes where the flavour needs to be clear.

Contains 50 g of organic culinary matcha green tea powder in a bag.

It suits someone who enjoys matcha lattes, green tea desserts, slow breakfasts or experimenting in the kitchen. A good choice for the friend who likes small daily rituals with colour, flavour and a little care.
