What is matcha, and what’s in Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder?

Matcha is green tea in powder form, and Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder contains only that: 100% organic matcha green tea powder from Japan. With ordinary green tea, you steep the leaves and then throw them away. With matcha, you whisk the finely ground leaf into water, so you drink the whole leaf. Nothing else goes in: no flavouring, no milk powder. This is ceremonial grade matcha, the grade for drinking on its own, and it works just as well in a latte.

What is matcha good for, and is it good for you?

There is no approved EU health claim for matcha, green tea or caffeine, so we don’t attribute any health effect to Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder. What it is: a single ingredient, organic green tea from Japan. You can drink it as a bowl of matcha tea, as a matcha latte or iced matcha, or in place of a cup of coffee. Matcha naturally contains caffeine, about 32 mg per 1 g serving; the question on caffeine shows how that compares with coffee.

How much caffeine is in matcha, compared with coffee?

Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder contains about 32 mg of caffeine per 1 g serving, while EFSA gives about 90 mg for a 200 ml cup of filter coffee. EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, also gives about 80 mg for an espresso and 50 mg for a cup of black tea. The caffeine occurs naturally in matcha, because you drink the whole tea leaf. Use more powder per cup and you get proportionally more caffeine. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, don’t drink matcha just before bed.

What is ceremonial grade matcha, and how does it differ from culinary grade?

Ceremonial grade matcha is the quality meant for drinking on its own, and Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder is ceremonial grade, made from the youngest, shade-grown tea leaves. Culinary matcha is meant for baking, cooking and smoothies, where other flavours mask the matcha. It is typically stronger and more bitter. There is no legal definition of these grades: it’s a tea-trade classification based on use and flavour. Ceremonial matcha works well in a latte or iced matcha too; you simply taste it more clearly through the milk.

Do you need a matcha whisk, and how do you avoid lumps?

No, a matcha whisk is handy but not essential: a milk frother, a hand whisk or a shaker also mixes Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder until smooth. To avoid lumps, first sift the powder through a fine sieve into your bowl or cup. Start with a splash of hot but not boiling water at about 80°C, whisk until smooth and only then top up. A bamboo whisk (chasen) gives the finest foam, because you can zigzag it quickly. The steps for matcha tea, a matcha latte and iced matcha are under ‘How to make matcha’ on this page.

Can you add matcha to a smoothie, shake or yoghurt?

Yes, you can stir Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder into a smoothie, protein shake, yoghurt or porridge; 1 g per serving is enough for colour and flavour. In a shake, the powder mixes in most easily with a shaker or blender. Matcha goes well with banana, mango, coconut and vanilla, and with an unflavoured protein powder such as Whey Natural Organic or Vegan Protein Organic. You can bake with it too, though the delicate flavour comes through less.

What does matcha taste like, and why is it sometimes bitter?

Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder tastes smooth, fresh and slightly creamy, with a gentle umami note and little bitterness. Matcha turns bitter mainly when the water is too hot or you use too much powder. So use water at about 80°C rather than boiling, and 1 g per serving. Umami is the rounded, savoury taste you also know from stock. Still getting used to matcha on its own? Start with a latte: milk makes the flavour rounder and softer.

Where does Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder come from, and how is it made?

Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder comes from the Shizuoka region of Japan, near Mount Fuji, and is made from the youngest, shade-grown tea leaves. Before the harvest, the tea plants are kept in the shade for a while. This keeps the leaves mild in flavour and deep green in colour. They are then picked by hand, steamed, dried and traditionally stone-ground into a fine powder. That powder is the only ingredient in the pouch.

Is Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder certified organic?

Yes, Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder is certified organic by Skal Biocontrole, with control body code NL-BIO-01 and the origin statement ‘non-EU Agriculture’. You can recognise it by the EU organic logo on the front of the pouch. Besides this matcha, Whey Natural Organic, Casein Organic, Vegan Protein Organic and Vitamin C Organic are also certified organic; you’ll find them together in our organic range.

Does Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder contain allergens, and is it vegan?

No, the ingredient list of Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder contains none of the 14 allergens that must be declared by law in the EU. Yes, it’s vegan: the product is registered with The Vegan Society. The only ingredient is green tea, and there’s no milk powder in it. For a vegan matcha latte, use a plant-based drink such as oat or soya drink.

Is there any added sugar in Organic Matcha Powder, and how many calories are in a serving?

No, Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder has no added sugars, and a 1 g serving provides about 3 kcal (14 kJ). It contains naturally occurring sugars: 1.4 g per 100 g. Anything you add yourself does count, such as milk, honey or syrup in a latte. The full nutrition table per 100 g is under Product Details, in Nutritional values.

How much matcha per day, and is it OK to drink every day?

Yes, you can drink Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder every day; one serving is 1 g, half a teaspoon, with about 32 mg of caffeine. How many servings you have in a day depends on your other caffeine: count coffee, tea, cola and energy drinks too. EFSA says that for healthy adults, up to 400 mg of caffeine a day, spread over the day, raises no safety concerns. You can combine matcha with all other Ekopura products, such as magnesium, omega 3 and the protein powders.

What should you know about matcha for children, in pregnancy or when breastfeeding?

Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder is not recommended for children or pregnant women, because it contains caffeine: about 32 mg per 1 g serving. If you’re breastfeeding, check with your GP, midwife or pharmacist first. Count all the caffeine you have in a day, including from coffee, tea and cola.

How many servings are in a pouch of matcha, and how long does it last?

A pouch of Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder holds 90 servings of 1 g: with one bowl or latte a day, it lasts you three months. The 90 g pouch fits through your letterbox. If you only drink matcha now and then, it lasts longer. Ordering regularly? You can subscribe with 5% off, and change your deliveries or cancel whenever you like.

How should you store Organic Matcha Powder and how long does it keep?

Store Ekopura Organic Matcha Powder in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, tightly sealed and out of reach of children. The best before date is on the bottom of the pack. Matcha is sensitive to light, air and moisture: close the pouch tightly after each use and use a dry spoon. It doesn’t need to go in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea powder made from carefully cultivated and finely ground tea leaves.

Unlike ordinary green tea, with matcha you consume the whole tea leaf. As a result, matcha naturally contains more antioxidants, catechins and nutrients.

For high-quality ceremonial matcha, the tea plants are temporarily shaded before harvest. This allows the leaves to develop their deep green colour, mellow flavour and natural umami.

After harvesting, the leaves are steamed, dried and slowly ground into an ultra-fine powder.

Our organic matcha comes directly from Japan and is produced using traditional methods.
