Matcha is powdered green tea, where the entire leaf is consumed rather than steeped. This makes matcha far richer in nutrients compared to traditional tea. Although matcha is produced worldwide, Japan is the birthplace of authentic matcha. At Matcha Samurai, we source only the finest organic matcha directly from Japan.

Traditionally, matcha was used in Japanese tea ceremonies to foster bonds before important discussions. Today, it's loved for both its unique taste and health benefits. Enjoy matcha in lattes, smoothies, baking, ice creams, and more!

To maintain freshness, store your matcha in a sealed pack (all Matcha Samurai packs are resealable), in a cool, dry, and dark place. Refer to the best-before date on the packaging to enjoy optimal flavor.

Matcha is a superfood, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. It boosts metabolism, supports anti-aging, and helps lower blood pressure. With high levels of the antioxidant catechin, matcha is also known to slow the signs of aging.

Matcha is 137 times more potent than brewed green tea. Since you consume the entire tea leaf, you're getting all the nutrients—not just what’s extracted in hot water.

Matcha provides steady energy for up to 6-8 hours without the crash or jitters associated with coffee. Its natural amino acid, L-Theanine, promotes relaxation and focus, while enhancing mood and concentration.

One 60g pack provides 60 to 120 servings, depending on how strong you like your matcha. A typical serving is between 0.5 to 1 gram.

Yes! We offer bulk packs of matcha—perfect for cafés, restaurants, or serious bakers looking to add matcha’s bold flavor to their creations.

Stone Ground: Traditional stone mills are used to grind leaves slowly, preserving their rich, full-bodied flavor. This process retains more nutrients but results in a slightly grainy texture.

Bead Milled: Bead milling uses high-speed ceramic or metal beads for a finer texture and smoother taste. While it’s more efficient, some flavor complexity may be lost.

At Matcha Samurai, we source premium matcha directly from Japan, grown using traditional farming methods to ensure authenticity. We offer both organic and non-organic matcha options to meet different needs. Our organic matcha is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, while our non-organic version is crafted to be more cost-effective while maintaining great quality. Each grade, whether it’s Ceremonial, Cafe, or Culinary, is carefully selected to provide a rich, vibrant flavour and smooth texture.

We offer both organic and non-organic matcha. Our organic matcha is grown using sustainable methods without synthetic pesticides or chemicals. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, we also provide a high-quality non-organic version. Both options are carefully curated to deliver exceptional taste, vibrant colour, and the same great health benefits.

Many cheaper alternatives compromise on flavour, texture, and quality, while Matcha Samurai maintains high standards across all our products. Even our non-organic matcha, designed to be more cost-effective, offers superior quality compared to many low-priced brands. We work directly with Japanese farmers, ensuring that every grade—from Ceremonial to Culinary—provides a premium matcha experience without cutting corners on authenticity or taste.

Absolutely, the origin of matcha significantly influences its quality. Traditional Japanese matcha is renowned for its meticulous cultivation and processing methods, resulting in a superior flavour profile and nutritional content. Regions like Uji and Kyoto in Japan are particularly celebrated for producing high-grade matcha. Some companies may offer matcha sourced from outside Japan, where cultivation practices differ, potentially affecting the tea's quality and taste. Additionally, there are instances where powdered green tea is mislabeled as matcha. It's important to note that while all matcha is green tea, not all green tea powder qualifies as matcha. Authentic matcha undergoes specific processing techniques, including shading and stone grinding, which distinguish it from other green tea.

To ensure you're purchasing authentic Japanese matcha, consider the following:

• Check the Origin: Look for matcha that explicitly states its Japanese origin.
• Examine the Colour and Texture: Authentic matcha typically has a vibrant green hue and a fine, silky texture.
• Assess the Flavour: Genuine matcha offers a balanced, umami-rich taste without excessive bitterness.
• Review Certifications: Certifications such as Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) can provide additional assurance of quality and authenticity.

By being mindful of these factors, you can make informed decisions and enjoy the rich traditions and flavours that authentic Japanese matcha provides.

At Matcha Samurai, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of matcha to suit different tastes and preferences. Not only do we provide Ceremonial Grade, Cafe Grade, and Culinary Grade matcha, but we also offer roasted varieties for those who enjoy a richer, more robust flavor. Additionally, for customers looking for a more affordable option, we have a high-quality non-organic matcha that still delivers a great taste and health benefits. Whether you're looking for premium matcha for tea ceremonies or matcha to blend into lattes and recipes, we have something for everyone.

At Matcha Samurai, we offer three matcha grades: Ceremonial Grade, Cafe Grade, and Culinary Grade.

• Ceremonial Grade: The highest quality, made from the youngest, most delicate leaves. It has a vibrant green colour, smooth texture, and naturally sweet flavour, perfect for traditional tea ceremonies or drinking straight.
• Cafe Grade: Specifically crafted for matcha lattes and smoothies. It has a slightly stronger flavour than Ceremonial Grade but blends beautifully with milk or other ingredients to create a rich, creamy matcha drink.
• Culinary Grade: More robust and slightly bitter, Culinary Grade is ideal for cooking, baking, and blending into recipes, providing flavour without overpowering other ingredients.

• Ceremonial Grade is best for those who want a premium matcha experience, sipping it on its own.
• Cafe Grade is perfect for making matcha lattes, smoothies, or other beverages where you want a creamy, flavourful base.
• Culinary Grade is the most versatile for recipes like matcha-infused desserts, baked goods, and even savory dishes.

Store matcha in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from heat, light, and moisture. Refrigeration helps extend freshness, but let the matcha come to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. Always reseal the container tightly to avoid oxidation, which can impact the flavour and colour.
