Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is matcha tea?
Matcha is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, where the leaves are infused in hot water and then discarded, with matcha, you consume the whole leaf, providing a concentrated source of antioxidants and other nutrients.

2. What are the health benefits of matcha?
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, specifically catechins and EGCG, which have been shown to have various health benefits, including boosting metabolism, improving focus and concentration, supporting heart health, and enhancing overall well-being.

3. How should I prepare matcha tea?
To prepare traditional matcha tea, sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl, add hot (not boiling) water, and whisk until frothy using a bamboo whisk (chasen). Adjust the amount of matcha powder and water based on your preference for strength.

4. What makes Matcha Tea Lovers' matcha different?

5. Is matcha tea suitable for everyone?
While matcha tea is generally safe for most people when consumed in moderation, it does contain caffeine and may not be suitable for individuals sensitive to caffeine or pregnant women. It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making matcha a regular part of your diet.

6. How should I store matcha tea?
