Encha Matcha Powder for Lattes - Organic Unsweetened Green Tea from Uji, Japan (30G)

About Us

Our founder, Li Gong, experienced a transformative moment after sampling exquisite matcha from an organic farm in Japan. This encounter inspired him to leave his position in Silicon Valley and embark on a mission: to make high-quality, organically-farmed matcha accessible to everyone. Thus, in 2014, Encha Matcha was born.

At Encha, we are dedicated to sharing the rich, delicate matcha that Li Gong fell in love with, originating from our farms located in Uji, Japan, all the way to your cup at home.

What Sets Our Products Apart?

We adhere to ancient methodologies for cultivating shade-grown, hand-picked, and stone-ground tea leaves, ensuring exceptional quality, flavor, and health benefits. All of Encha’s matcha is USDA Certified Organic. This certification means our farms are completely organic, free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, and we routinely test for heavy metals and harmful chemicals.

Understanding Our Matcha Grades

Our matcha is available in three distinct grades:

1. Ceremonial Grade Matcha: Sourced from premium, first-harvest leaves, this grade boasts a delicate and smooth flavor, ideal for preparation with just water.

2. Latte Grade Matcha: This is made from standard first-harvest leaves, harvested each spring. It can have a more bitter taste when prepared with hot water, making it perfect for mixing with your preferred milk, served either hot or cold.

3. Culinary Grade Matcha: This grade utilizes premium, second-harvest leaves, offering a subtly sweet, earthy flavor. It is particularly well-suited for cooking and baking.

Li Gong, Ph.D., the founder of Encha, envisions a world where organic options are not only possible but also affordable and enjoyable. He aims to cultivate the Encha community organically through education and personalized support. He believes, as instilled by his social science studies at Stanford, that intrinsic value does not necessitate extrinsic acclaim.

Product Benefits:

What does USDA Certified Organic mean for our matcha? It guarantees that our farms uphold organic practices, emphasizing the absence of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers while regularly screening for harmful contaminants. We leverage centuries of tradition to nurture our tea plants within their natural ecosystem, ensuring that our tea leaves are shade-grown and hand-picked for optimal healthfulness and flavor.

Matcha vs. Green Tea

Matcha differs from regular green tea significantly. The shade-growing process enhances the production of the amino acid theanine, known for promoting a sense of calm and balance against caffeine’s effects. When ground into matcha, we remove stems and only use the leaf, offering a smoother flavor and more robust health benefits, including antioxidants.

Brewing the Perfect Matcha

To create a delicious matcha latte, start by whisking 1 tsp of Encha matcha powder with 2 oz of water until dissolved. Then, top it off with frothed milk and your sweetener of choice for a rich and creamy beverage.

Enjoy Your Matcha Latte

Our matcha offers a delightful balance between sweetness and earthiness with a velvety texture, requiring no additional sugar when combined with milk. It serves as a fantastic alternative to coffee, providing clean energy and mental clarity without the crashes often associated with caffeine.
