Cooking Matcha - From Uji Japan

O-Cha.com is proud to introduce a superior cooking grade matcha that surpasses the usual market offerings. Directly sourced in Japan, where we are based, this matcha is provided at a remarkably reasonable price, reflecting our commitment to quality and affordability. Packaged fresh, our matcha does not endure long ocean transits or prolonged warehouse storage, ensuring you receive it at its peak freshness.

Matcha is categorized into ceremonial and cooking grades. While our ceremonial grade matcha could indeed be used in cooking, resulting in exceptionally luxurious dishes, it is generally too costly for such uses due to its high price and traditional packaging in small quantities. Recognizing the need for a high-quality culinary matcha that is affordable yet effective for everyday cooking applications such as lattes, smoothies, ice cream, and baked goods, we carefully selected our cooking grade matcha. This product is real, authentic Japanese matcha—not powdered sencha, and not grown in China, but genuine matcha grown in Japan.

It's important to be aware that not all matcha labeled as produced by Japanese companies is necessarily grown in Japan. Some Japanese companies cultivate matcha in China, import it to Japan, and then export it again. This practice is especially common with cooking grade matcha.

In contrast to many cooking grade matcha products available online, our matcha is authentically sourced from Uji, Japan, near Kyoto. We guarantee the origin and quality of our cooking matcha, ensuring it meets the high standards expected from Japanese-grown products.

We offer this premium cooking grade matcha in a generous 300-gram package, making it accessible for various culinary uses without compromising on quality. This matcha is ideal for those who appreciate the flavor and benefits of genuine Japanese matcha in their cooking, providing a quality that often exceeds what is marketed online as "ceremonial" matcha.

Hi! Just dropped my review on this great cooking matcha, and I was just wondering if it could be purchased in bigger amounts? Granted, I know 300g is already a lot as is, but I'm feeling a bit extravagant considering how affordable this is. Maybe sometime next year if my family finishes it a bit too quickly, haha.

Hello, since shipping is expensive right now, I am thinking about getting a larger batch but worried how fresh the matcha is right now. If I buy cooking matcha right now, what harvest date will I receive? Is there any new harvest coming up in the near future?

Hello,

This is a product which is fresh whenever you buy it. Even though the harvest date was last year it's stored under special refrigerated conditions and not packaged until we request it. Typically, however, higher quality matcha is harvested in May and allowed to age. Usually the new harvest of this matcha comes out in June or July, however, as this is cooking matcha and not ceremonial grade. I think it will not matter what time of the year you purchase it, the quality will be fresh and it will be the same.

Hello,

This matcha is of course safe to drink. This particular product is usually used as an ingredient in baked goods as well as matcha smoothies, ice cream, etc. You could use this to make matcha latte by adding milk and sugar to it. While you could safely drink this as it is, if you wish to drink matcha by itself you would be better off to purchase one of our other matcha teas which are meant for that. Keep in mind there is a process for drinking matcha which will require a tea bowl and a bamboo whisk.

For inexpensive drinking, how would this compare to the powdered sencha?

It's comparable, though the taste is a bit different, it's a bit less astringent than powdered sencha.

Ordered this on O-Cha's recommendation after we reviewed their powdered Sencha. It arrived in less than a week, but I only got to review it now because it's been rather busy lately.

This is even better than the powdered Sencha, and for (I think) the same price per gram! Started with a raw tasting. So much umami in a humble cup. And not a hint of astringency unlike the sencha. Even when I lick any loose powder off of the teaspoon I use to scoop it. The colour is more of an olive green rather than the electric green I imagined, but this is cooking grade matcha, and it doesn't detract from the taste.

I put it in everything I drink that isn't water: my protein shakes, meal replacement shakes, and it complements them quite nicely.

Gives me quite a bit of energy to boot. I remember not taking it the other day and I ended up napping for several hours. It really keeps me up when I have to. :)

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll likely keep this in stock for regular consumption. And then save up for something a bit fancier later down the road. Looking forward to more of your great offerings!

Best cooking grade matcha money can buy. Color and taste really prove the quality. Gonna be ordering regulary from now on.

Absolutely delicious in a latte. Compared to matchas from outside Japan, the taste blows them out of the water, even ones labelled "ceremonial grade." Can't wait to use in smoothies and baking.

Very competitive price and great value-for-money quality. We use this mostly for baking or sweets and it's very suitable for that. Matcha lattes are also possible but we found it more suited for cooking pursuits. Loose, the matcha's color is a bit dull but this shouldn't be compared with ceremonial grade matcha anyway and in baked goods the color turns a vibrant dark green. Hopefully, it will keep a while - 300g is quite a lot.

Exceptional value and the taste is great baked in smoothie or just drink on it is own. I promise, you won’t find better culinary grade matcha for that price, not even in Japan. Much better than most of the low priced so called ceremonial grade matcha you see on sale outside of Japan. Buy with confidence, you won’t be disappointed.
