Question about CTea?

We are here to help

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Yes, C Tea's matcha contains a certain amount of caffeine, about 3%. Compared to regular green tea, matcha has a higher caffeine content because it is made from the whole powdered tea leaf, while traditional green tea is brewed by steeping the leaves.

However, matcha's caffeine is released more slowly, so it typically doesn't cause the quick jolt of energy that coffee does. Instead, thanks to the theanine it contains, it helps enhance focus and promote relaxation, making it an ideal choice for a refreshing energy boost throughout the day.

How should I store my matcha powder?

Matcha powder should be stored in a sealed, cool, and dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

To maintain the freshness and aroma of the matcha, it is recommended to store it in an opaque container and ensure that it is tightly sealed.

Once opened, it's best to use the matcha powder as soon as possible for optimal flavor and freshness.

Where are your matcha leaves from?

Our matcha is sourced from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The climate here, with its mild and humid marine conditions, is similar to that of Japan, making it perfect for growing matcha.

Thanks to this natural environment, our matcha leaves are carefully cultivated and harvested to ensure high quality and a unique flavor. The fertile soil and moderate climate of the Yuhang District provide an ideal growing environment for matcha, resulting in a fresh and rich taste.

What are the health benefits of matcha?

⚠️This is not a medical advice.

Research suggests that matcha is rich in antioxidants, which may have anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to combat free radicals and support healthy skin.

It is also known to contain theanine, which could aid in stress reduction, improved focus, and enhanced cognitive function.

Additionally, the fiber in matcha may promote better digestion, help regulate blood sugar levels, and contribute to overall well-being. Regular consumption of matcha might support a healthy metabolism and assist in weight management.

How is matcha different from other green tea?

The main difference between matcha and regular green tea is in the processing method.

Matcha is made by grinding whole tea leaves into a fine powder, which is then mixed with water, making it richer in taste and retaining more of the nutrients from the tea leaves.

Traditional green tea is brewed by steeping the leaves in water, which removes the solid parts of the tea, resulting in a lighter taste.

Is matcha powder suitable for daily consumption?

Yes, matcha powder is suitable for daily consumption, especially as a morning or afternoon pick-me-up. A cup of matcha each day allows you to enjoy its rich tea flavor while also gaining health benefits.

However, it’s recommended to consume it in moderation, depending on your caffeine tolerance.
