It is different from loose leaf teas because the whole tea leaf is consumed instead of just the infusion. Matcha comes from the plant Camellia Sinensis. Only authentic Matcha is made from tencha leaves (shade grown). How much caffeine is in a cup of Matcha? A cup of Matcha (using 1g of Matcha powder) has 35mg of caffeine compared to a cup of coffee sitting at 95-200mg of caffeine. Matcha contains L-Theanine, which many people enjoy for its relaxing and balanced experience How much L-theanine is in Matcha? The L-theanine content will always vary batch to batch since it is organic and grown in a natural environment. Ceremonial Matcha will usually have a higher L-theanine content than culinary Matcha due to the different harvest times. Younger tea leaves from the 1st harvest have more L-theanine. Please see below as a general guideline (based on 1 gram of Matcha): Tenryu Origins Matcha: 23.8 mg/gGold Class Matcha: 15 mg/g of L-theanineEmerald Class Matcha: 14.26 mg/g of L-theanineCulinary Class Matcha has approximately 14.26 mg/g L-theanine My Matcha is clumped in my brand new opened tin. Is clumping normal? Clumping is perfectly normal and the Matcha is 100% safe to consume. Since the particle size of Matcha is very small - it tends to naturally clump in humid environments or very dry environments due to static electricity. Matcha's average moisture rate is 2 to 3%. It is highly recommended to store your Matcha in the fridge once opened or in a dark, cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is sealed tightly. If you have not opened your Matcha, it can be stored in the freezer. When you are ready to make your Matcha drink, simply use a small sifter to reduce clumping.

We pride ourselves on our ability to work with Japanese farmers and producers to hand-pick the finest and darkest tea leaves for our Ceremonial Matcha. Savor luxury in every cup of our shade-grown Ceremonial Matcha. It's not just a run-of-the-mill 1st harvest. Our tea leaves bask in the perfect balance of sun and shade, creating a flavor profile that's simply divine. Blended in small batches for consistent taste throughout. Quality comes from growing techniques We know the key to great Organic Matcha comes from the farmer and the leaves. Our partnered farmers specialize in creating the best shade growing conditions for optimal development of young tea leaves. By shading, the tea leaves naturally expand to collect more sunlight. This allows the tea leaves to become very soft and produce more chlorophyll giving it that vibrant green. The amino acids are maintained in the leaves during this process giving them a sweet taste and aroma. We strive to produce high L-theanine content in our leaves. Thereby creating some of the finest quality stone-ground Organic Matcha available. Rare Mikage Stone Mill Our carefully selected premium darkest tencha is only grinded by a Mikage Stone Mill. The pattern on the Mikage Stone Mill is hand made and developed based on 1200 years of Matcha history. Only premium ceremonial grades are processed with the Mikage Stone Mill. The type of stone, pattern, weight, and number of spins all play an important role in the quality of the Matcha. One Mikage Stone Mill can only produce 30 to 40 grams of Matcha per hour. The organic Matcha tea Our Matcha is proudly sampled by a 9th degree tea master known as a Cha Shi 茶師. Our Cha Shi is trained to quickly identify the type of tea only by tasting and smelling.
