FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are some frequently asked questions from our customers.
How is Matcha prepared?
🍃 Pour 2 to 5 g (up to 2 teaspoons) of matcha powder into a bowl.
💧 Add a small amount of hot water (about 2 ounces at 175°F/80°C) to the matcha powder.
🍵 Whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) until the matcha is frothy and completely dissolved.
😋 Pour the matcha into a cup and enjoy as is, or add water or milk for a lighter or creamier drink.
What is the shelf life of the product once opened?
Once opened, it can be stored for up to 3 or 4 months, retaining its vibrant color, smell and taste.
How should I store my matcha?
Once ground, all Matchas begin a slow oxidation process which degrades their properties.
Our Matcha is guaranteed freshly ground, and that’s extremely important!
This involves complex logistics and numerous precautions with the sole aim of bringing you exceptional quality: a developed aromatic spectrum, great smoothness, and the restitution of all the beneficial nutritional properties.
Our Matcha is delivered in airtight containers, protected from light rays that could damage it, made of special black glass, an inert material that does not react with Matcha.
In order to consume your Matcha at the highest quality level, we recommend that you consume it within 3 months by keeping it cool at +5C in its original packaging. Your Matcha can however remain out of the refrigerator permanently and be consumed safely, but it will lose the exceptional qualities that we have strived to give it.
How to recognize a quality matcha?
There are three indicators that can easily determine the quality of a matcha:
- Color: It should be bright and vivid. If the matcha has an emerald green color, it means that it has been stored and transported carefully, without contact with oxygen and daylight, so that the tea has retained all its properties. If the matcha has a dark or dirty yellow color, it means that it is simply not pure or has lost its properties due to interaction with oxygen or sunlight. That is why, after purchase, you should never pour the matcha into a transparent jar and store it in a dry place away from light.
- The smell: it should be pleasant, sweet and at the same time saturated. If the matcha smells like dry hay with notes of bitterness / seaweed (fish) or jasmine (like Chinese green and white teas), this variety has nothing to do with real matcha or has lost its properties during processing or storage.
- Taste: The taste of a good matcha is sweet and light. It should definitely not taste like fish or seaweed! The taste of matcha depends a lot on the variety and the season in which it is harvested. The May harvest has a deeper and richer taste, a sweet aroma and contains the highest amount of antioxidants and chlorophyll. Harvested after July, matcha can be bitter and contains fewer vitamins and minerals than early varieties.
What is matcha?
Matcha is Japanese for "powdered tea." Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves, traditionally used in tea ceremonies in Japan. It is a concentrated source of antioxidants and nutrients and offers a rich, slightly sweet and earthy flavor.
Do you use recyclable packaging?
Our quality containers are as beautiful as they are practical and are fully recyclable. Glass is one of the most recyclable materials available, and the special black glass we use for our containers is no exception. These containers are so good that we recommend you keep them and use them to store your quality spices, cooking mixes, powders, chocolates and any other food that is prone to spoilage. All of our shipping packaging is recyclable. We sometimes use starch foam balls to protect our jars, which are fully biodegradable.
Are they organic?
Our Matcha is 100% guaranteed. All our production takes place in our workshop near Kyoto, and we have absolute confidence in our quality. Matcha Botanicals is a team of passionate people whose sole aim is to sell products that we are proud of. We pay close attention to the cultivation and manufacturing process, as we are the first consumers of our products, and we are constantly looking for the best. All our producers are three-hundred-year-old family farms. We work in exclusive partnership with them. They are all members of the Japan Tea Association and have been expertly producing traditional Japanese Matcha since the 18th century. Their production methods are on quality standards much higher than "ORGANIC" standards, a simple comparison with a single cup between a commercial "ORGANIC" matcha and those from the plantations we offer speaks for itself! For our producers, it does not make sense to pay a high price for an organic label that would guarantee a lower quality than the real quality of their products, while increasing their costs. Our production is systematically analyzed to guarantee its quality even more strictly than ordinary organic Matcha.
