What is matcha?
This trending superfood is powdered stoneground green tea leaves - think of a supercharged green tea! We work closely with an organic farm in Japan who has organic certification with the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS).
Why use matcha?
Perfect for you if you struggle with coffee and needing an alternative! Matcha is unique because of the amino acid L-Theanine present. When paired with matcha’s naturally occurring caffeine, this lessens the side effects normally associated with coffee such as anxiety and restlessness. It’s also a great natural food colouring and commonly seen in baked goods and desserts.

Storage
Matcha powder is sensitive to light and air, once exposed it will start degrading slowly. Please keep out of the light and in an airtight container to prevent oxidisation which causes Matcha to lose its vibrancy and flavour. You may also chill in the fridge to increase longevity.
Best before 03/25
Thea Tip : 1/2 tsp (1g) can last you 2-3 cups of Matcha as it will settle to the bottom of your cup/mug if you leave it for 20 minutes. We recommend between 1/2 tsp (1g) and upwards to 1 tsp (2g) of Matcha in a day, which we find provides a great slow release of energy for an extended period of time.
Please note: Contains Caffeine. If you are pregnant or on prescription medication, seek professional advice first if you have concerns.
Our packaging is 100% recyclable - Or you can use it as a cute way to store anything!
FAQ
What does Matcha taste like?
It is rich, balanced yet sharp. Our matcha is unique to our organic farm, it smells sweet with earthy undertones, a fruity aroma and tang. Poor quality Matcha will taste bitter and be close to yellow tones as opposed to green tones.
What can I use Matcha for?
Almost anything you like - get creative! Most popular recipes include tea, lattes, chocolate, smoothies, pasta and list goes on.
Can I have too much Matcha?
While 1/2 tspn - 1 tspn is all you need to get the benefits of Matcha, there is only so much your body can absorb. One to two servings of Matcha per day is reasonable. But remember, keep everything in moderation.
What's the best way to store Thea Matcha?
Keep in a cool, dry spot, sealed in an airtight container that you can recycle or reuse. Our tins are available in 30g, 50g (limited time) and 100g. To increase the shelf life, storing in fridge is the best option. Keep away from storing in glass as it will expose matcha to sunlight.
