AIYA SINCE 1888 Culinary Matcha Green Tea Powder 100g Bag — USDA Organic, Gluten-Free for Lattes & Baking

AIYA USDA Organic Culinary Grade Matcha is a finely milled Japanese green tea powder made for cooking, drinks, and everyday whisking.

Harvested and stone-milled in Japan, this 100g bag of AIYA matcha blends traditional processing with USDA organic certification to deliver a versatile green tea powder. Designed for culinary use, it balances bright vegetal notes with subtle sweetness, making it suitable for lattes, baked goods, smoothies, and classic whisked tea. The powder is gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan-friendly, and kosher-certified, offering dependable quality from a company established in 1888.

How does this matcha perform in lattes and hot drinks?

AIYA culinary matcha dissolves smoothly into milk and milk alternatives, creating vibrant green lattes with clean flavor and a natural creaminess. It foams well when whisked or frothed and mixes reliably without clumping when sifted first.

• Use 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz milk for a balanced latte.
• Sift before whisking to avoid lumps and improve texture.
• Steams into froth easily with electric frothers or bamboo whisks.
• Pairs well with oat, almond, soy, or dairy milk for varied sweetness.

Can I bake or cook with this culinary matcha?

This matcha was formulated to keep its color and flavor when heated, so it works well in cakes, cookies, frostings, sauces, and pancake batter. Because it’s culinary grade, you get stronger matcha presence per gram than ceremonial types designed for plain whisking.

• Add 1–2 teaspoons to sweet batters for visible green color and matcha taste.
• Blend into frostings and fillings for smooth, consistent color and flavor.
• Use in savory sauces and dressings for an umami lift without overpowering.
• Adjust quantity to taste; culinary grade tolerates higher-heat applications.

What makes AIYA matcha different from other green tea powders?

AIYA’s matcha is sourced from Nishio, Japan, and produced under long-standing family expertise dating back to 1888. The powder is stone-milled to a fine texture and certified organic, which supports consistent flavor and dependable sourcing practices.

• Stone-milled for a smooth, even texture that disperses easily.
• USDA organic and non-GMO certification for traceable standards.
• Balanced profile suited for thin whisked tea (usu-cha) and culinary use.
• Packaged in a resealable 100g bag to preserve freshness between uses.

How should I store and prepare the matcha for best results?

Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dark place; refrigeration after opening extends freshness. For whisked tea, use water below boiling (about 75–80°C / 170–176°F) to protect delicate flavors; for lattes and baked recipes, prepare according to the recipe with pre-sifting recommended.

• Reseal bag immediately after opening to limit air exposure.
• Store away from heat, light, and moisture—refrigerate if desired.
• Sift matcha into bowls or batters to remove clumps before mixing.
• Use filtered water at warm (not boiling) temperature for whisked tea.
