ABOUT AMELIA MATCHA
Where does Amelia Matcha come from?
Our matcha is harvested in the Mie Prefecture, a mountainous region of Japan known for its rich tea-growing heritage.
What makes your matcha special?
The uniqueness of our matcha lies in its lack of bitterness, its smoothness, and its naturally sweet taste.
Our ceremonial matcha, Amelia Matcha©, is a blend made from 100% of the finest Okumidori tea leaves, one of the rarest varieties. It represents only 1% of the total matcha production in Japan.
Where are your flavors made?
All our flavors are prepared in Japan.
Amelia Matcha has chosen to custom-make its flavors to perfectly complement the matcha recipe.
Why drink matcha instead of coffee? What are the benefits?
Stable energy: With caffeine and L-theanine, matcha offers a more stable and long-lasting energy release than coffee.
Health: Rich in antioxidants like catechins, particularly Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), matcha helps neutralize free radicals in the body, contributing to overall health.
Calming effect: L-theanine can have relaxing properties on the mind, helping to reduce stress and promote concentration.
Beauty: Matcha offers numerous benefits for beauty, such as improving the appearance of skin, hair, and more!
In summary, matcha offers a comprehensive approach to physical and mental well-being.
How to prepare matcha?
- Add 1 teaspoon (1-2 grams) of matcha to your cup, then pour in 70 ml of hot water, but not boiling (we recommend water at 70 degrees Celsius).
- Use a bamboo or electric whisk to mix until a fine foam appears on the surface.
- Enjoy your matcha hot or iced, with or without milk, and it's ready!
How to use a bamboo whisk?
Before the first use of your bamboo whisk, we recommend soaking it in a bowl of hot water for 2 minutes to soften it.
To prepare your matcha: whisk your mixture of water and matcha powder using W-shaped motions in the bottom of your bowl. When a fine foam starts to appear, your matcha is ready!
How much matcha is needed for one cup?
One teaspoon of matcha (1 gram) is enough to prepare your matcha. If you prefer a more intense flavor, we recommend increasing the dose to 2 grams per cup.
How to store matcha after opening?
To preserve its flavor and texture, we recommend storing your matcha in a cool, dry place, away from light and humidity.
How long can matcha be stored after opening?
Consume it within 3 to 6 months after opening for optimal flavor and to benefit from its health properties.
Does the color of matcha change based on the flavors?
No, our matcha retains the same color and texture, regardless of the flavors.
Is there any sugar added to your matcha?
Our matcha has a naturally sweet taste, with no added sugar.
Is Amelia Matcha organic?
Yes, Amelia Matcha is organis and we offer a rare variety of matcha that represents only 1% of Japanese matcha production, the Okumidori variety.
Does the matcha variety differ according to flavors?
No. Amelia Matcha has a secret recipe that is used for all our products.
My matcha is clumpy, is that normal?
The finer the matcha is ground, the more it is considered a "good" matcha. We chose to grind our matcha extremely finely while processing it in a way that makes it easy to blend.
That said, we strongly recommend using our bamboo whisk or electric whisk to prepare your matcha.
You can prepare your matcha without our accessories, but the texture may be less smooth, and a few clumps may appear.
