Questions About Matcha
-
Matcha is a special kind of green tea made by grinding the whole tea leaf into a fine powder. Unlike regular tea, where you soak the leaves in water and throw them away, matcha lets you drink the entire leaf, so you get all the good stuff.
The tea plants are grown in the shade before being picked, which makes them extra healthy and gives matcha its bright green color. -
Because matcha is grown in the shade and you drink the whole leaf, it’s full of powerful nutrients like antioxidants, amino acids (like L-theanine), and vitamins. This makes matcha special and can give you:
- Long-lasting energy without crashes
- Better focus & productivity
- Less anxiety & stress
- Clearer, glowing skin
- A balanced and calm mind -
Yes, matcha has less caffeine than coffee but still provides a noticeable energy boost.
- Matcha: ~30-70 mg per serving
- Coffee: ~80-120 mg per cup
However, matcha's L-theanine slows caffeine absorption, making the energy longer-lasting and smoother without jitters or crashes—unlike coffee, which gives a quick spike followed by a crash.

Taste: Monday Matcha stands out for its smooth, non-bitter taste and high-quality, shade-grown leaves.
Maximised Nutrients: Our plants are shaded 30% longer to enhance nutrients, and our matcha is stone-ground to retain its full benefits.
Freshness: Always fresh—antioxidants start to degrade after just six months, and freshness is key to preserving both taste and quality. -
Culinary vs. Ceremonial Matcha: What’s the Difference?
Think of culinary and ceremonial matcha as sisters, each with their own unique personality:
Ceremonial Matcha – The Younger Sister
- Made from the youngest, most tender leaves picked from the top of the tea plant.
- Delicate, smooth, and subtly sweet with minimal bitterness.
- Best enjoyed on its own (whisked with water) to fully appreciate its refined, nuanced taste—but also works beautifully in a latte.
Culinary Matcha – The Older Sister
- Made from more mature leaves, giving it a stronger, bolder, and slightly more bitter flavor.
- Perfect for lattes, smoothies, baking, and cooking, where its intensity stands out without getting lost.
Both are equally nourishing and rich in antioxidants—it just depends on how you like to enjoy your matcha!
-
Matcha is sensitive to light, humidity, and air, which can cause it to oxidize and lose its vibrant color and fresh flavor.
Best storage: Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from heat and moisture.
In summer: If temperatures are high and humidity is a concern, storing matcha in the fridge can help maintain freshness.
