Healthy Chef Matcha Tea is now sourced from premium ceremonial grade matcha from Japan's Uji region, known as the 'birthplace' of Matcha. It delights with it's rich umami sweetness and deep green colour. 

Healthy Chef Ceremonial Grade Matcha Tea is sourced from leaves plucked in the first flush, for optimal quality and freshness. Enjoy a delicately flavoured powder to refresh and revitalise the body and mind. Samurai warriors used to drink matcha for sustained energy and focus on the battle. Buddhist monks drink this tea before meditation for its calming properties. 

Unlike coffee that gives you a quick energy spike and releases the stress hormone cortisol, matcha provides a steady and sustained energy boost throughout the day. It has around 70 milligrams of caffeine, as opposed to 100 milligrams in a regular-sized black coffee, and it releases the caffeine over a longer period of time. Rich with antioxidants this tea has a delicate aroma and helps rejuvenate both body and mind.

    Matcha Tea Frequently Asked Questions

    Benefits of Matcha Tea

    Studies have shown Matcha has the ability to boost your immunity, control your stress and assist in weight loss! Matcha Tea is the champion of green tea, it’s a powerful, green tonic to revitalise the body and mind. Matcha is particularly rich in Catechins, a powerful flavonoid shown to have antioxidant and heart protective properties. It also contains high levels of L-theanine, an amino acid which helps to reduce stress and anxiety.

    Where is our Matcha Tea sourced from?

    Our Matcha Tea is now sourced from Japan's Uji region, known as the 'birthplace' of Matcha Tea. It contains premium ceremonial grade matcha, with leaves plucked from the first flush for optimal quality and freshness.

    Does Matcha Tea contains caffeine?

    Matcha Tea does contain caffeine however it’s about half that of a regular cup of black coffee.

    There is a fundamental difference with regards to how matcha caffeine impacts the body. The caffeine in matcha is assimilated and absorbed very slowly (over 6-8 hours), a huge difference from the quick 30-minute energy spike with coffee caffeine. This results in a long and sustained energy boost. There is also no blood sugar spike, insulin increase, or release of the stress hormone, cortisol, as with caffeine from coffee.

    Why has your Matcha Tea packaging changed?

    Our matcha packaging has changed from a tin to a ziplock double foil-lined pouch. This transition to this packaging type was made to preserve the freshness and colour, and minimise oxidation of our matcha tea for a longer period of time. Plus, it also ensures the packaging is more airtight and protected from light and moisture, compared to our previous metal tins. 

    Do I need a special whisk for matcha tea?

    Our 120-strand hand-made bamboo whisk part of our Matcha Tea Set is uniquely designed to create the perfect matcha tea beverage. Its fine bristles help blend the delicate matcha powder into water or milk, creating a smooth, frothy consistency that's difficult to achieve with regular kitchen whisks.
