Questions About Matcha
-
1) Matcha is a type of green tea from Japan.
2) The leaves are grown in the shade for at least 20 days before harvest, which increases their natural l-theanine content and gives matcha its bright green colour.
3) The whole leaf is stone-ground into a fine powder.
Since you whisk the powder into water and consume the entire leaf — instead of discarding the leaves as with regular tea — you also consume more of the naturally occurring antioxidants, amino acids, and minerals. -
1. Steady energy
Unlike coffee, matcha contains caffeine together with naturally occurring l-theanine. This unique combination is known for providing a calm, focused energy without the sudden spikes and crashes often linked to coffee.2. Whole-leaf goodness
With matcha, you consume the entire tea leaf — not just an infusion. That means you’re getting more of the tea’s naturally occurring antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins in every cup.3. Smooth taste
Matcha has a naturally rich, umami flavour that’s less bitter than regular green tea. It can be enjoyed simply whisked with water, poured over ice, or mixed into lattes, smoothies, and recipes. -
Yes, matcha has less caffeine than coffee but still provides a noticeable energy boost.
- Matcha: ~30-70 mg per serving
- Coffee: ~80-120 mg per cup
However, matcha's L-theanine slows caffeine absorption, making the energy longer-lasting and smoother without jitters or crashes—unlike coffee, which gives a quick spike followed by a crash.

Taste: Monday Matcha stands out for its smooth, non-bitter taste and high-quality, shade-grown leaves.
Maximised Nutrients: Our plants are shaded 30% longer to enhance nutrients, and our matcha is stone-ground to retain its full benefits.
Freshness: Always fresh—antioxidants start to degrade after just six months, and freshness is key to preserving both taste and quality. -
Culinary vs. Ceremonial Matcha: What’s the Difference?
Think of culinary and ceremonial matcha as sisters, each with their own unique personality:
Ceremonial Matcha – The Younger Sister
- Made from the youngest, most tender leaves picked from the top of the tea plant.
- Delicate, smooth, and subtly sweet with minimal bitterness.
- Best enjoyed on its own (whisked with water) to fully appreciate its refined, nuanced taste—but also works beautifully in a latte.
Culinary Matcha – The Older Sister
- Made from more mature leaves, giving it a stronger, bolder, and slightly more bitter flavor.
- Perfect for lattes, smoothies, baking, and cooking, where its intensity stands out without getting lost.
Both are equally nourishing and rich in antioxidants—it just depends on how you like to enjoy your matcha!
-
Matcha is sensitive to light, humidity, and air, which can cause it to oxidize and lose its vibrant color and fresh flavor.
Best storage: Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from heat and moisture.
In summer: If temperatures are high and humidity is a concern, storing matcha in the fridge can help maintain freshness.
