Jade Leaf Organic Matcha Powder, Culinary Grade, 16 oz Pouch

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What grade of Matcha is this, and how do I use it? This is Culinary Grade Matcha, which is an affordable way to add a delicious, healthy boost to smoothies, lattes, baked goods, and other dishes. What's the difference between Culinary and Ceremonial grades? Simple: Culinary grade is meant for mixing into recipes as an ingredient, while Ceremonial grade is meant to be prepared traditionally as a tea (just mixed with hot water and whisked). Culinary grade is more affordable for day to day use, making it easy to fit the health benefits of Matcha into your diet. Does it contain caffeine? Yes, each half-teaspoon (1g) serving contains roughly 34mg of caffeine, about 1/3 a cup of coffee. However, Matcha also contains L-Theanine, which has a calming and leveling affect, so it doesn't make you feel jittery or wired like coffee does. Are there other use cases for Culinary Matcha? Yes! Many of our customers make a healthy facial mask using our Culinary Grade, by mixing it with just a bit of water to form a paste. Where does this Matcha come from? Our Matcha is grown by organically family farms near the city of Uji in Kyoto, Japan. What if I don't like it?
