Product description
Product: Baking Matcha Powder a.k.a Culinary grade Matcha powder
Matcha powder is culinary grade, which is most often used for cooking and baking. It’s also fine to drink culinary matcha, which is still a very high quality tea, just with a slightly different flavor profile than ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary grade matcha isn’t necessarily a lower quality product, it’s just prepared differently for a different use – and it features different characteristics.
Our Baking Matcha powder is specifically blended for use with other ingredients in recipes for food and beverages. It’s enhanced flavor profile pairs perfectly with other flavors, creating delicious green tea lattes, matcha smoothies and green tea based baked goods.
Featuring a more robust flavor than ceremonial grade matcha, the culinary grade is slightly less sweet, with more bitter notes.
This matcha should smell grassy and fresh, and feel soft and smooth – never gritty or coarse. It may look less vibrantly green than ceremonial grade matcha, but it should still possess a noticeably green color.
You’ll need to use a little more of this matcha green tea powder to make a beverage. Mix one to two teaspoons of culinary grade matcha into every cup (230ml) of hot water. Most cooking and baking recipes will call for one to two tablespoons of the powder. You can also drink culinary grade matcha mixed with hot water; however it will taste best with a little added sweetener.
