Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between regular, premium, and ceremonial matcha?
Regular (culinary) matcha is suitable for cooking, smoothies, and lattes and has a slightly bitter taste. Premium matcha is milder and sweeter with a brighter color. Ceremonial matcha is of the highest quality, made from the youngest leaves, with a soft, refined flavor and bright green powder, and is primarily enjoyed neat.
What does matcha taste like?
Matcha has a soft, refreshing flavor with a slightly creamy, vegetal note. Depending on the quality, the flavor can range from mild and sweet (ceremonial matcha) to a somewhat fuller or slightly bitter (culinary matcha).
What is matcha good for?
Matcha is prized for its rich flavor, vibrant color, and versatility. It contains natural antioxidants and amino acids like L-theanine, and is popular with those who enjoy using pure, plant-based products as part of their daily ritual.
Is matcha the same as green tea?
No, with matcha, you use the whole leaf, finely ground, while with regular green tea, only the tea extracts are steeped in water. This gives matcha a more intense flavor and color.
Should I use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or can I use something else?
A chasen is ideal for creating a light foam, but you can also use a small whisk, a milk frother, or a jar with a lid. The foam will be slightly less thick, but the flavor will remain.
How do you make a matcha latte?
Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl and add a small amount of hot water (about 70–80°C). Whisk the mixture until smooth and slightly frothy. Then add warm milk or a plant-based milk and froth until frothy. You can sweeten it lightly with honey or a sweetener, if desired.
How do you make an iced matcha latte?
Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl and add a small amount of hot water (about 70–80°C). Whisk until smooth and lightly frothy. Fill a glass with ice cubes and (plant-based) milk and pour the whipped matcha over it. Garnish with a drizzle of vanilla, coconut, or caramel syrup for extra flavor.
Can everyone drink matcha?
In general, matcha is safe for most people to consume, but it contains caffeine, so people who are sensitive to caffeine should take it into account. However, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions should exercise caution and consult their doctor if necessary before consuming matcha.
How is Yerba Maté made?
The leaves are harvested, dried, and often lightly roasted before being packaged into individual leaves or blends. This process creates Yerba Mate's distinctive aroma and flavor.
How do you make Yerba Maté?
Traditionally, yerba mate is prepared in a gourd (mate) with a metal straw called a bombilla. Fill the gourd about two-thirds full with leaves, tilt the leaves to one side, insert the bombilla into the empty end, and slowly pour in hot water (not boiling). Drink the tea from the bombilla, refilling it with hot water as needed to make several cups.
Alternatively, you can brew Yerba Mate in a tea filter or infuser and add hot water, let it steep for a few minutes and pour it into a cup.
How do I store Yerba Maté?
Store Yerba Mate in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture to preserve its flavor and aroma.
What do you need to drink Yerba Maté?
To prepare Yerba Mate in the traditional way, you will need a gourd and a bombilla .
Gourd: A special cup-like vessel, often made of metal, wood, or ceramic, in which the Yerba Mate is brewed.
Bombilla: a metal straw with a filter at the bottom, which allows you to drink the tea without removing the leaves.
Can everyone drink Yerba Maté?
Yerba mate is generally safe for most adults. It contains mateine, a natural stimulant, so children, pregnant women, or people sensitive to caffeine are advised to drink it in moderation and, if in doubt, consult a doctor.
Does Yerba Maté Help You Lose Weight?
Yerba Mate can support feelings of satiety and thus help you snack less, but it is not a substitute for a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.
Is Yerba Maté Healthy?
Yerba Mate is a natural product and can be a healthy addition to your daily drink.
