Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Yōko Matcha is JAS Organic ceremonial-grade green tea powder from Hon-Yama, Shizuoka, Japan. It is made from shade-grown, first-harvest Yabukita leaves for smooth umami, natural sweetness and a clean finish. Enjoy it with water or as a matcha latte.

Yōko Matcha sources directly from an award-winning, family-owned Japanese tea producer with three generations of expertise dating to 1948. Cultivation, processing, milling and testing are connected within one production system, giving you a clear source and quality checks from leaf to finished matcha.

Matcha provides natural caffeine to support alertness, along with the antioxidant compounds found in green tea. Yōko Matcha combines those naturally occurring ingredients with a smooth, naturally sweet taste and no added sugar, flavoring or fillers. A suggested 2g serving contains about 56.8mg caffeine.

Yes. Matcha contains caffeine, which helps increase alertness and reduce sleepiness. Yōko Matcha also contains L-theanine, an amino acid studied with caffeine for attention. The research uses specific doses; it does not establish the same effect for every cup. Read the ingredient research above for the study details.

A suggested 2g serving of Yōko Matcha contains about 56.8mg caffeine, based on 28.4mg per gram in our nutrition facts. Using more powder increases the caffeine in your cup; adding milk or water does not remove it. Natural levels can vary.

Yes, if you want a different caffeinated drink. Yōko Matcha has a smooth, umami-rich taste and makes a hot or iced latte. A 2g serving contains about 56.8mg caffeine. Compare that with your usual coffee serving and adjust to your caffeine sensitivity; matcha is not caffeine-free.

Antioxidants are compounds that can neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals. Green tea contains antioxidant compounds called catechins, including EGCG. A 2g serving of Yōko Matcha provides about 212mg total catechins from the ground tea leaf; that figure is not an EGCG-only measurement.

Matcha can be part of a daily routine. Start with our suggested 2g serving and choose the amount and timing that suit your caffeine sensitivity. Count caffeine from other drinks too. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have medication-related questions, discuss caffeine intake with your clinician.

No. Yōko Matcha has one ingredient: organic Japanese matcha green-tea powder. It has natural sweetness in its taste, with no added sugar, flavoring or fillers. Any sugar in your finished latte comes from the milk or sweetener you choose.

One 50g pouch makes about 25 cups at our suggested 2g serving. You can adjust the amount for a lighter or stronger drink; using more powder means fewer servings per pouch.

Yōko Matcha’s organic ceremonial matcha is made from a single cultivar: Yabukita. Its taste is smooth and umami-rich, with natural sweetness and a clean finish.

Yōko Matcha is bead-milled in Japan into a fine powder. It is made from tencha: tea leaves that are shaded before harvest, then steamed and dried without rolling before milling.

Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl, add 2 oz of water at about 175°F / 80°C, and whisk until frothy. Add more water to taste, or pour over 6–8 oz of milk for a latte. The preparation guide above shows both methods.

After opening, refrigerate Yōko Matcha according to the package directions. Keep it tightly sealed in an opaque, airtight container, away from moisture, heat and strong odors.
