Everything You Need to Know About Matcha
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It’s known for its vibrant green color, rich flavor, and numerous health benefits.
Unlike regular green tea, where leaves are steeped and then discarded, matcha is made by whisking the powdered tea leaves into water, allowing you to consume the entire leaf and its nutrients.
True Matcha sources its organic ceremonial-grade matcha directly from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, a region renowned for producing the finest matcha.
Ceremonial-grade matcha is the highest quality matcha, intended for traditional tea ceremonies and drinking plain. It has a smooth, delicate flavor and vibrant green color.
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, particularly EGCG, and is known to boost energy, support metabolism, enhance focus, and promote relaxation due to its natural combination of caffeine and L-theanine.
Yes, matcha contains caffeine, but it provides a calm, sustained energy boost thanks to the presence of L-theanine, which counteracts the jitters often associated with coffee.

Matcha is generally safe for children in small amounts due to its lower caffeine content compared to coffee or energy drinks. However, consult with a pediatrician first.
