Premium Organic Matcha Tea

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.

Matcha is primarily used as a flavoring agent and for its vibrant green color. It is commonly found in powdered drink mixes, baked goods, ice cream, and other desserts. Its distinct taste and color make it a popular ingredient for adding a unique twist to various food products.

Matcha is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, such as catechins, which have been studied for potential health benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated green tea extracts, and JECFA has established acceptable daily intakes for some related compounds. While generally considered safe, excessive consumption of caffeine from matcha could lead to side effects like jitters or sleep disturbances.
