Understanding Quality, Cultivars and Real Matcha

Matcha has moved from the tea room into daily life, yet few have tasted authentic, craft-produced Matcha. Global demand is rising—projected to reach USD 7.43 billion by 2030—but much of what’s sold today is just powdered green tea, lacking the shading, milling, and storage that define true Matcha.

To preserve the craft, the industry must be more precise, transparent, and honest about quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is matcha?

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from shade-grown green tea leaves. The whole leaf is consumed, resulting in a concentrated flavour and composition.

What defines high-quality matcha?

Balance. A smooth, umami-led profile with natural sweetness, fine texture and a vibrant green colour. This is shaped by cultivar, shading, harvest timing and precise processing, not grade labels alone.

Why is matcha so green?

Shading the tea plants before harvest increases chlorophyll and amino acids. This deepens colour and develops the rounded, savoury character associated with refined matcha.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Yes. Matcha contains caffeine, moderated by naturally occurring L-theanine. The result is a more stable, sustained energy release compared to coffee.

Why can matcha taste bitter?

Bitterness is usually a result of lower-quality material, overly hot water, or incorrect proportions. Well-produced matcha should be smooth and balanced, not harsh.

How should matcha be prepared?

Whisk with hot, not boiling, water until smooth. Sifting beforehand improves texture. The method is simple, but precision matters.

How should matcha be stored?

Matcha is highly sensitive to air, light and heat. AVANTCHA matcha is nitrogen-sealed and stored in temperature-controlled conditions to protect freshness. Once opened, keep airtight and cool, and consume promptly.

Is all matcha the same?

No. Differences in cultivar, origin, farming approach and post-harvest handling significantly affect flavour and texture. Colour or price alone do not define quality.
