The roots of this Organic Cooking Matcha are deep in tradition

In Japan, matcha has never been just a drink: for centuries, its powder has colored and scented wagashi, the refined sweets that accompany the tea ceremony, and flavored salts, soba noodles, and custards. It was cuisine that allowed matcha to leave the teahouses and enter the home: first Japanese pastry chefs, and then French ones, made it one of the most iconic ingredients of contemporary baking, from macarons to marble cakes. This meeting of East and West is now a tradition in itself: culinary matcha is the tool, a very fine powder of green tea leaves grown and processed in Japan, ready to move from the chef's spoon to your home oven.
 
 
 

Choosing Organic Matcha for Cooking Means Taking Care of Yourself

Cooking with matcha means using the whole green tea leaf, ground into a powder: an ingredient naturally rich in tea's natural compounds, including polyphenols and a slow-release caffeine content, which complements dishes without the need for artificial colors or flavorings. Its fresh, vegetal flavor also adds character to sweets and desserts, reducing the need for richer ingredients. In savory dishes, it elegantly replaces industrial spices and seasonings. Just one organic ingredient, no additives: once opened, it can be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 6–8 months to preserve its aroma and color.
