Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this Culinary matcha blend and regular green tea?
This blend pairs traditional sencha leaf with powdered matcha, giving you more concentrated green tea flavor and a creamier body than loose-leaf green tea alone. Matcha whisks into water, so you consume the whole leaf—more antioxidants per cup.

Does Culinary Teas Sencha Extra Green with Matcha have caffeine?
Yes. Green tea naturally contains caffeine—roughly 25–50mg per 8oz cup depending on steep time. Matcha typically delivers slightly more caffeine than steeped sencha because you're consuming the whole powdered leaf.

How do I brew this blend best?
Steep at 160–180°F for 2–3 minutes for a lighter cup, or 3–5 minutes for bolder flavor. For iced tea, brew a strong batch and chill. This blend also works beautifully whisked into warm water with a traditional bamboo whisk.
