Encha Matcha Latte-Grade Matcha Powder 500g — Organic First-Harvest, Smooth & Low-Bitterness for Lattes

Encha Matcha Latte Grade is a USDA organic, first-harvest Japanese green tea powder crafted for creamy lattes and smooth, sustained energy without bitterness.

Harvested each spring from certified organic farms in Uji and stone-ground into a whisper-fine powder, this matcha is shaded and selected to produce a naturally sweet, vibrant-green profile that blends beautifully with milk. The 500 g pouch contains enough powder for roughly 250 latte servings and arrives resealable to preserve freshness. Encha emphasizes purity—no fillers, no sugars, and third-party testing—to deliver a cleaner, more authentic matcha experience.

How does this matcha perform in milk-based lattes?

This formula is optimized for milk and milk alternatives: the first-harvest leaves provide a creamy texture and low bitterness that hold up well when frothed. It dissolves smoothly with minimal whisking and maintains vivid green color and subtle sweetness when combined with dairy or plant-based milks.

• Recommended ratio: 1 tsp matcha to 5 fl oz hot water, then top with 6–8 fl oz milk
• Works with oat, almond, soy, and dairy milks; froths cleanly
• Natural flavor notes: toasted nuts, soft vanilla, and fresh herb tones
• Resealable 500 g bag yields ~250 latte servings

What kind of energy and focus can I expect from Encha Matcha?

Each serving contains about 60 mg of naturally occurring caffeine paired with roughly 24 mg of L-theanine, an amino acid that supports calmer, steadier alertness. Users typically notice a more even, sustained lift without the sharp peaks or crashes associated with coffee.

• 60 mg natural caffeine per serving for gentle stimulation
• 24 mg L-theanine to promote relaxed concentration
• Suitable as a coffee alternative for smoother energy throughout the morning
• No added stimulants—clean green tea source

Why is first-harvest and USDA organic important for matcha?

First-harvest (first flush) leaves come from new spring growth and tend to deliver brighter color, more delicate sweetness, and finer texture than later picks. Organic certification further ensures the leaves were cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which matters for both flavor clarity and minimizing contaminants.

• First-harvest leaves produce vibrant green and subtle sweetness
• Shade-grown practices increase chlorophyll and amino acids
• USDA Organic means no synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers
• Third-party testing verifies purity and quality

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

Preparation is simple: whisk 1 teaspoon into 5 fl oz of 160°F water until smooth, then add frothed milk if making a latte. Store in the resealable bag in a cool, dark place or refrigerate after opening to maintain color and aroma; avoid heat, light, and humidity.

• Best water temperature: about 160°F (70°C) for optimal flavor
• Use a bamboo whisk or small frother for smooth texture
• Reseal pouch and keep in a cool, dark spot; refrigerate after opening
• Each 500 g bag ≈ 250 one-teaspoon servings

Who is this for? Encha Matcha Latte Grade is aimed at tea lovers, home baristas, and anyone seeking a cleaner, more balanced alternative to coffee. It suits people who value organic sourcing, prefer a naturally sweet, low-bitterness cup for lattes and smoothies, and want a sustained, calm energy boost without added ingredients.
