What it is

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. The tea plants are shade-grown for several weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed before grinding. This process gives matcha its vibrant green color and unique flavor.

Why it's used

Matcha is used to add a distinct, slightly bitter, and earthy green tea flavor to a variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in teas, lattes, smoothies, baked goods, and desserts. Its bright green color also makes it an attractive ingredient for visual appeal.

Health notes

Matcha is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains antioxidants, such as catechins, which have been studied for potential health benefits. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated green tea and its components, but specific evaluations for matcha as a distinct ingredient may vary. Evidence on the health effects of matcha is ongoing.

Allergen info

Matcha is derived from the tea plant and is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
