Matcha 101 — Calm Energy Without the Crash

Matcha 101 — Calm Energy Without the Crash

Why matcha?

Matcha offers a unique kind of focus—clear and steady rather than spiky—making it a favorite for mindful mornings. At MOONTHE we keep it simple: quality ceremonial‑grade leaves, smooth taste, and easy steps you can follow in a busy day.

What makes matcha feel different

  • Whole‑leaf goodness: you whisk the finely milled leaf into water, so you drink the leaf—no steeping and tossing.

  • Calm + clear: naturally occurring compounds in green tea are associated with a smoother feel compared to typical coffee jolts.

  • Flexible ritual: whisk hot, shake over ice, or blend into a creamy latte—pick the texture you enjoy.

How to make it (quick)

Tools: small bowl or mug, whisk or milk frother, and a fine sieve.
Steps:

  1. Sift 1–2 g matcha into your cup.

  2. Add a splash of warm water (≈70–80°C) and whisk vigorously until frothy.

  3. Top up with more warm water (for a straight cup) or steamed milk (for a latte).

  4. For iced, whisk with a little warm water first, then add cold water and ice.

Flavor tip: If you’re new, start with a latte. The creaminess rounds out any vegetal notes.

Make it your daily “green pause”

  • Morning focus: one small cup before emails.

  • Afternoon reset: half‑strength iced matcha to keep evenings calm.

  • Ritual cues: same cup, same place—your brain learns “this is focus time.”

Our approach to sourcing & making

We select organic ceremonial‑grade matcha with a smooth, lightly sweet character that works both straight and as a latte. Small, frequent packing runs keep freshness high. Orders are prepared in scheduled batches and usually ship within a few business days—so your tin spends more time with you than in a warehouse.

FAQs

  • Is there caffeine? Yes, but most people describe the experience as steadier than coffee.

  • Can I drink it on an empty stomach? If you’re sensitive, pair it with a light snack.

  • Does it mix with other blends? Keep matcha separate; enjoy herbals at other times of the day.
