Our Customers Frequently Ask


What does cafe grade mean?

Cafe grade matcha is made with less delicate tealeaves, has a stronger flavor and is ideal for using in cooking, baking and blending.

Who buys SUPERSIZED Gotcha Matcha?

This SUPERSIZED 2.2lb package is perfect for smoothie shops, pastry chefs, cafes, chocolatiers, bakeries and ice-cream makers. Use it in hot, cold, sweet and savory creations.

Can I drink cafe grade Gotcha Matcha on its own?

Yes, Gotcha Matcha can be prepared as a tea with water, just like our other grades of matcha. The difference will be noticed in the color and flavor. Nutritionally the teas are comparable. All are 100% pure shade covered powdered green tea cultivated, harvested and produced in Japan.

What does kitchen grade mean?

Kitchen grade matcha, our most economical selection, is made of mature end of harvest tealeaves, and has a stronger flavor than hihger grade options. Dakota Matcha is ideal for use in cooking, baking and mixing with food applications and supplements. This SUPERSIZE product is ideal for large scale production of food and beverage applications.

Who buys SUPERSIZED Dakota Matcha?

This SUPERSIZED 2.2lb package is perfect for smoothie shops, pastry chefs, cafes, chocolatiers, bakeries and ice-cream makers. Use it in hot, cold, sweet and savory creations.  Each kilo bag contains 500 servings (500 teaspoons).

Can I drink Dakota Matcha on its own?

Dakota Matcha contains astringent components which render it unsuitable for tea with water. The taste will be “unfriendly”. However, when blended in fruit smoothies or protein shakes, Dakota adds all of the nutrition of matcha, without bitterness.

Nutritionally all of our teas are comparable. They are 100% pure shade covered powdered green tea cultivated, harvested and produced in Japan.

 

Why sift matcha?

For the same reason bakers sift flour before using. The static electricity in the air encourages powders (be it flour, baking powder, cocoa, etc) to stick together and form clumps. The same is true with matcha green tea powder. Sifting matcha smoothes it out and lets it blend better into your drink or cooking recipe.

Where is this tea sourced?

We sourced this matcha from the environmentally friendly hillside region of Nishio. In the late 1800’s a Buddhist priest introduced the varietal and production techniques of the Uji region used in matcha production. Soon Nishio became a formidable producer of matcha tea. In 2001 JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards Association), awarded its organic certification to the matcha teas from our Nishio farms.
