## Overview

Encha Organic Matcha Latte-Grade (60g) is a premium, 100% organic green tea powder sourced from the first harvest of shade-grown tencha leaves in Uji, Japan. Carefully cultivated without pesticides, it delivers a rich, complex flavor and natural, sustained energy with medium caffeine and high theanine content for calm focus. Ideal for crafting smooth, frothy matcha lattes, this powder offers a sophisticated alternative to coffee, backed by traditional farming methods and modern wellness benefits.

## Description

Encha was born in 2014, when Li Gong quit his Silicon Valley job and set out on a mission to make high-quality, organically-farmed matcha accessible and affordable. Today, Encha maintains that same mission. Our harvest and production processes are rooted in ancient traditions, where slow, meticulous care is paramount. We invite matcha powder lovers to experience our rich, complex flavor and enjoy the benefits of pure, clean energy. Encha Matcha Green Tea Powder is 100% organic and consists of the highest quality matcha green tea leaves. Our farm’s ecosystem depends on the delicate balance of the natural world, allowing us to grow tencha leaves without using pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Our matcha organic leaves are shade-grown and plucked in the first harvest from our farm in the hills of Uji, Japan, giving them immense depth of flavor. The perks of a matcha latte extend beyond its sophisticated flavor. Matcha latte powder provides natural energy as well as increased focus because it’s packed with antioxidants. To brew, simply take 1 tsp Encha Latte-Grade Matcha and whisk vigorously into 5 oz hot water at 160F. Then top with the milk of your choice. The difference between organic matcha and green tea lies in the nuance of growing and cultivating. Because latte matcha is shade-grown for three weeks, unlike typical green tea leaves, it’s able to develop more theanine. Theanine works to keep your body and mind calm and focused, so you get the benefits of caffeine without the jitters. And because Japanese matcha green tea powder is consumed as a powder, the organic matcha green tea powder is.

Review: This review will be for both the Ceremonial and Latte grade matcha from Encha. I have tried a decently wide range of matcha in the past from packets found at Costco, to the sickly sweet Americanized Dunkin Doughnut version, to cups provided at high end restaurants and ryokan in Japan. This matcha is easily among the best that I have had, and is by far the best bang for the buck. The first impression you get when you open the pouch is how vibrant green the powder is and how wonderful it smells. There are no visible lumps in the powder and it is extremely fine. A little bit of powder always escapes when I squeeze the air out of the packet before I reseal it and it is so light and fine that it floats for a while in the air. I do sift the Ceremonial grade through a fine mesh strainer although I suspect this is overkill. I do not sift the latte grade and thus far I have not had any issues so long as a whisk it for an appropriate amount of time. As for preparation I follow the instructions on the packet and the videos that Encha provides and I have been very pleased with the end result although I tend to make 1.5 to 2x the serving. The fresh, grassy, slightly earthy fragrance is very apparent in the Ceremonial grade. The flavor is very smooth and feels wonderful on the tongue with just a tiny hint of bitterness at the finish, just enough to enhance the experience rather than detract from it. The matcha foams very well and it is not difficult to create a very fine foam with a traditional bamboo matcha whisk (I do not own an electric frother). The Latte grade aroma is very similar to the Ceremonial although the flavor is bolder and the bitterness at the end more apparent. Add some soy mild or regular cow milk and the bitterness diminishes greatly or goes away altogether if you add enough while retaining the fresh grassy/earthy taste. Thus far for storage, after I scoop out the powder I squeeze out any extra air before resealing it and then put it back in the fridge. I have compared the matcha from the last few scoops of a pouch of Ceremonial grade to matcha from a fresh pouch and have not noticed any significant differences in appearance or taste. Up front the pouches seem expensive but they really are not for the quality you get. When I was the only one drinking, I drink matcha about 5 days a week as an alternative to coffee. The 60g packet lasts me about a month. So for the Ceremonial grade I can have a large mug full (~7-9oz) of top quality matcha with all the unique health benefits for for about $1.70 each time. Compared to $2 or more for a medium coffee from a coffee shop it is absolutely worth it. Initially I was the only one drinking but the rest of the family enjoyed the taste so much that they asked me to prepare them portions whenever I drink as well. I am very glad to have found this fantastic product and if you are looking for a high quality matcha you will not regret your purchase.
Review: This match powder is the one! It's not crazy-expensive, sifts well, and most importantly, tastes great. I keep it in the refrigerator, and I think that keeps its freshness much longer. It took me forever to find a brand that tastes good, as I am newer to matcha. I just started drinking it this past year due to LPR (reflux) issues with coffee. This hasn't flared my reflux, which is such a gift because I love caffeine and didn't want to have to give it up entirely. I have made this both hot and iced, and it is great both ways!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between ceremonial and latte grades since they are both 1st harvest?**
A: I'd be happy to answer this question. This is Dr. Li Gong, Founder of Encha.Ceremonial-grade Encha is ground from premium 1st-harvest leaves, the most tender leaves, in each spring harvest (May) in our farm in Uji, Japan. It is best suited for the ceremonial style of drinking matcha with just water. The taste is delicate, smooth and refreshingly grassy. Latte-grade Encha is ground from standard high-quality 1st-harvest leaves in our farm. When prepared just with hot water, Latte grade tastes a bit stronger (astringent or bitter) than Ceremonial grade. But that extra taste strength makes it more suitable to balance with the creamy taste of milk for matcha latte. Latte-grade, 1st-harvest, Encha Organic Matcha delivers a much greener and smoother cup of matcha latte compared to using 2nd, summer or autumn harvest of matcha. Ceremonial-grade and Latte-grade Encha have the same amount of nutrients because they are both from 1st harvest in our farm. Please view the package detail picture (the 3rd pic) to see the content amount.

**Q: Is it tested for radiation? From Fukushima?**
A: Encha has their Analytical Certificate of Radioactivity posted on their website. The date of this analysis is dated for June 20, 2017 and no radiation was detected.Also posted on their website: "We still conduct annual radioactivity test. Radioactivity is NEVER detected in Encha Organic Matcha. Encha is grown in the Uji mountains in the Kyoto prefecture in central south Japan. Its mountainous area is far from the 2011 Fukushima site."Hope this helps! :)

**Q: is the packaging BPA free?**
A: Yes, Encha Organic Matcha packet is BPA-free! Safety is a paramount quality criterion for Encha. If possible, we would like the entire world to go natural and organic.  Thank you for asking this question!Li Gong, Ph.D.Founder of Encha

**Q: Same health benefits as Ceremonial Matcha?**
A: Thank you for asking this question. And thanks to Robert to responding first. The Grades page of Encha site lists detailed information of three grades of Encha pure, organic matcha powder, all grown in our farm in Uji, Japan. All three grades of Encha have the same content in terms of FDA nutrition values and have the same amount of antioxidant Catechins. Ceremonial-grade Encha is ground using premium, most tender leaves from our spring harvest in May. Latte-grade Encha is ground from standard high-quality 1st-harvest leaves in our farm. They also have the same amount of caffeine and theanine. They both taste very good. Ceremonial-grade Encha is more delicate and smooth. That's why we offer it as Encha's ceremonial grade. Culinary-grade Encha is from our farm's premium 2nd harvest in late June. It has the same FDA nutrition content, same amount of antioxidant Catechins, but has less caffeine and theanien due to stronger sun exposure.Please let me know if these information helps you decide on which grade of Encha suits your need. thank you,Li Gong, Ph.D.Founder of Encha

This Matcha taste amazing and definitely has a great amount of servings. In the long run, it will save you money instead of going to Starbucks for Matcha lattes. I only think that the packaging could be improved to be in a metal tin because every time I would open this little baggie of Matcha powder the green dust would fly around and be on the counters, otherwise a great Matcha !
