Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Daily Matcha and Premium Matcha?
Premium Matcha offers a richer umami character and a more refined, balanced profile, primarily intended for traditional usucha. Daily Matcha is more versatile and designed for everyday use, including matcha lattes, baking and recipes.
Is Cooking San Premium Matcha made in Japan?
Yes. The matcha is produced from Japanese tea grown in Aichi and finished in Seto, Aichi, Japan.
Does it contain any additional ingredients?
No. 100% Japanese matcha with no additives or flavourings.
Is it suitable for traditional usucha?
Yes. It has been selected especially for traditional usucha preparation.
Can it be used for matcha lattes?
Yes, although its refined flavour is best appreciated when whisked simply with hot water. It also produces a richer premium matcha latte.
Is this a ceremonial-grade matcha?
“Ceremonial grade” is not an official Japanese classification. Premium Matcha is a high-quality matcha intended primarily for traditional usucha.
The tea plants are shaded before harvest: that shading is what gives matcha its deep colour and its mellowness.
