Matcha Source Buyer’s Guide
not sure which matcha is right for you? here is a guide to help you decide
the different grades of matcha tea
Matcha tea comes in different grades. What you pay for is flavor profile, not nutrients. Young leaves, plucked early in the
harvest, produce delicate and vegetal flavors. Mature leaves contain more coarse matter from stems and veins and taste more
astringent. The following illustration denotes how grades are determined.
Dakota Matcha
Pale in hue and astringent on the palate, use this bulk economical option for blending in power drinks, smoothies and desserts with sugar and cream.
Gotcha Matcha
Cafe Grade - perfect for adding to blended drinks or for use in recipes try it in smoothies, lattes, savory sauces and desserts.
Morning Matcha
Classic grade matcha, made from early harvest leaves. The taste is vegetal with a distinct bitter note at the end. Excellent for tea whisked in a bowl.
Kama Matcha
Ceremony Grade highest concentration of amino acids, adding to the complexity of the taste and aroma of the tea. If DayGlow had a state of infancy, this would be it. Bright grassy notes softened by copious quantities of creamy amino acids.Which matcha should I choose?
“If you are really into the distinct rich creamy mouth feel of a Kama Ceremony Grade Matcha you should invest in it.
If you are blending into a berry drink, then I always recommend a Café Grade Gotcha Matcha which is a better value.
It’s like cooking with fine wine, you wouldn’t use a Barollo for spaghetti sauce.” – Alissa White, Founder Matcha Source
WHICH MATCHA UTENSILS ARE BEST?
If you can choose only one matcha utensil, we recommend starting with a bamboo whisk, which froths the tea in the bowl and
brings out the delicate flavor profiles of Kama and Morning Matcha. Additionally, we offer several starter sets and bundles,
here including the WhiskIt Kit 3-Piece Set.
