FAQ
1. Why is Uji matcha so famous? Uji, just south of Kyoto, has been cultivating tea for roughly 800 years and is widely considered the home of Japanese matcha. Its misty climate, rich soil, and centuries of craftsmanship produce matcha known for its deep umami, smooth texture, and bright color. As a Kyoto tea company, Yedoensis is proud to share tea from our home region.
2. What is the difference between ceremonial and standard matcha? Ceremonial matcha is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves and is meant to be whisked with water and enjoyed on its own. It has a smoother, sweeter, more complex flavor with less bitterness. Standard matcha has a stronger, slightly more astringent taste that stands up to milk, sugar, and baking. For lattes and everyday drinks, we recommend to try our Premium Matcha!
3. How should I store this product? We recommend that you store your matcha away from light and sealed firmly in a cool environment. Placing it in the refrigerator is best to maximize freshness.
4. Can I use ceremonial matcha for lattes? Yes, and it makes one of the best matcha lattes you can have. The natural sweetness and smooth umami of ceremonial matcha shine through the milk, creating a creamy, well-rounded latte that needs little or no added sugar. Mix the matcha with a small amount of hot water first, whisk until smooth, then add warm or iced milk of your choice.
5. How much caffeine is in matcha? Matcha contains more caffeine than most other teas because you drink the whole leaf, but generally less than a cup of coffee. Matcha also naturally contains L-theanine, an amino acid that contributes to its smooth umami flavor.
6. The serving sizes are too small/large, what should I do? Japanese palates often 2 grams per serving so this is what we used as our guideline. However, a benefit of powdered tea is that this can be altered to the level of your choosing. If you prefer a stronger or lighter taste, feel free to adjust tea and water levels accordingly.
7. Is your matcha gluten free? Yes, all of our matcha is gluten free.
8. How can I tell if matcha is real Uji matcha? Authentic Uji tea (Uji-cha) is defined by Kyoto’s tea industry as tea grown in Kyoto, Nara, Shiga, or Mie and finished in Kyoto Prefecture using Uji’s traditional methods. You can verify authenticity by looking for a company's origins or verified sourcing.
