Making matcha at home gives you control over both the quality and the experience. Many cafés tend to use lower-grade matcha, which can taste dull or overly bitter, and the serving sizes are often small or watered down.

By preparing it yourself, you can adjust the strength, sweetness, and creaminess to your liking. It’s also far more cost-effective. A single café matcha latte usually costs $5–7, while one 30g tin of Motcha can make 10-15 servings at a fraction of the price. With Motcha, you’re getting higher-quality Japanese matcha at better value, every time.

Ceremonial grade matcha comes from the first harvest of young tea leaves, giving it a vibrant green color and a naturally smooth, slightly sweet flavor. It’s best enjoyed traditionally, whisked with just water, where its delicate taste can shine. That said, ceremonial matcha can also be used for lattes and other drinks if you want a smoother, more refined flavor in your cup.

Culinary grade matcha, on the other hand, is made from later harvests. The flavor is bolder and a little more bitter, making it perfect for mixing with milk, blending into smoothies, or using in baking. Both are authentic Japanese matcha — the main difference is in flavor profile and how you’ll want to enjoy them.

Yes, matcha naturally contains caffeine, though it behaves differently in the body compared to coffee. A typical serving has around 30–70mg of caffeine, which is about the same as a cup of green tea and less than a standard cup of coffee. Because matcha is rich in L-theanine, the caffeine is released more gradually, providing a smooth sense of alertness and focus that can last for several hours without the crash.

Matcha is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help support overall wellness. Unlike coffee, it provides calm, sustained energy thanks to the combination of caffeine and L-theanine. This means you get hours of mental clarity and focus without the jittery spikes or crashes that often come with coffee. Many people also enjoy matcha as a way to naturally boost metabolism and energy levels while adding a mindful ritual to their day.
