matcha LOVE Ito En Organic is a stone-ground ceremonial Japanese matcha in a 20g tin, delivering a smooth, medium-bodied green tea powder for traditional whisked brews and recipes.
This compact canister contains 0.7 ounces of stone-ground, shade-grown matcha sourced and milled to preserve its bright green color and savory-sweet balance. Designed for everyday preparation, the powder blends into hot water, milk, or smoothies and works equally well for classic whisked tea or as an ingredient in lattes and baking. The product emphasizes clean, herbaceous flavor with minimal bitterness, reflecting the ceremonial-grade processing used to make it.
What does "ceremonial" matcha mean for taste and texture?
Ceremonial matcha refers to powder made from young, shaded tea leaves that are carefully steamed, dried and stone-milled to a fine consistency. The result is a velvety texture and a nuanced flavor profile that highlights sweet, vegetal notes rather than astringency. It dissolves smoothly when whisked, producing a stable foam and a balanced finish.
- Fine, stone-ground powder for a smooth mouthfeel
- Shade-grown leaves that reduce bitterness and increase sweetness
- Bright green color indicating freshness and chlorophyll content
- Works well for traditional whisked tea and cold or hot beverages
How should I prepare this matcha for best flavor?
Use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (around 1–2 grams) per 60–120 ml of water warmed to 70–80°C (not boiling) to bring out the powder’s delicate sweetness. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or vigorously with a small electric frother until a thin foam forms. For milk drinks, dissolve the matcha in a splash of warm water before adding steamed milk to prevent clumping.
- Measure 1/2–1 tsp matcha per serving for balanced taste
- Use slightly cooler-than-boil water (70–80°C) to protect flavor
- Whisk until light foam appears for classic texture
- Pre-dissolve for lattes or cold beverages to avoid lumps
How can I use this matcha beyond a traditional tea?
Matcha powder is versatile: it adds color and subtle umami to smoothies, yogurt bowls, baked goods, and savory sauces. Because it’s the whole leaf ground to a fine powder, it integrates into recipes more evenly than whole-leaf teas. Start by substituting small amounts of flour or cocoa in recipes to find the ideal balance of flavor and color.
- Add to smoothies or protein shakes for natural color and flavor
- Fold into pancake, cookie or cake batters for green tea notes
- Whisk into dressings, marinades, or homemade chocolate for complexity
- Dust on desserts or beverages for a finishing aroma and visual appeal
How should I store the 20g tin to keep matcha fresh?
Matcha is sensitive to light, heat and air, so keep the tin tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place. For longer storage, transfer the inner sachet to an airtight container and refrigerate, bringing it back to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation. Small tins like this are ideal for keeping portions fresh after opening.
- Seal the tin after each use to limit air exposure
- Store in a cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Refrigerate for extended storage, but avoid moisture exposure
- Use within a few weeks after opening for peak flavor
