Matcha is a powder form of green tea that is traditionally mixed with hot water and served as hot tea. There is more benefit to drinking matcha than brewing tea leaves and throwing them out since you are consuming the entire leaf. It is also important to note that there are different grades of matcha powder: ceremonial and culinary. Ceremonial is the highest and is used in its purest form. Culinary has a range from top to low quality but it is designed to mix well with bases such as dairy.

Tea Zone Grade A Matcha Powder is among the top quality culinary matcha. We’ve collected some delicious and easy matcha recipes that you can make at home or add to your menu!
