Premium Organic Matcha Powder from Uji, Japan

From an organic farm in Japan, our founder Li Gong discovered the most delicate matcha, leading him to leave his Silicon Valley job and found Encha Matcha in 2014. His mission was to bring high-quality, organically-farmed matcha to the masses.

Encha's goal is to share the rich, tender matcha that Li Gong first tasted, from our farms in Uji, Japan to your cup at home. We use ancient traditions for growing shade-grown, hand-picked, stone-ground tea leaves, which makes all the difference for quality, flavor, and health benefits. Encha's matcha is USDA Certified Organic, meaning our farms are 100% certified organic, never using pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and regularly tested for heavy metals and harmful chemicals.

Our different grades of matcha offer unique experiences. Ceremonial Grade is ground from premium, first harvest leaves, with a delicate, smooth taste, best enjoyed mixed with water. Latte Grade is ground from standard, first harvest leaves, with a taste profile suitable for balancing with milk. Culinary Grade is ground from premium, second harvest leaves, with a subtly sweet, earthy taste, best used for cooking and baking.

Matcha differs from green tea in several ways. Matcha leaves are shade grown, producing more theanine for a sense of serenity to balance the caffeine. The stems are removed, creating a softer flavor, and you consume the whole leaf, providing additional health benefits like antioxidants.

Our premium, 100% organic matcha green tea powder is ground from the most tender matcha tea leaves, plucked each spring from our farm in the Uji mountains of Kyoto, Japan. Encha matcha offers a perfectly balanced palate, both sweet and earthy, with a smooth, velvety consistency. Skip the coffee and enjoy the natural pick-me-up and mental clarity of matcha, without any crash.
