MATCHA MATCHA

Bringing three different types of 100 percent pure organic matcha to New Zealand, matcha is a powdered green tea which was featured in the Japanese tea ceremony since the 13th century. Matcha Matcha produces another product, Best Bones Broth, which has been in the food industry for a short time. “Matcha tea was something that I was really getting into, but I was unable to source a good-quality one here in NZ. I was ordering from the US and decided I needed to make it available here in varying grades to suit people’s needs,” they said. They offer three different types of organic matcha; Ceremonial Grade, Latte Grade and Culinary Grade. Most other matcha powders available are lower grade and are the type you would add to smoothies or baking, but if you used them in the traditional way as tea with water only, they would be very bitter and pungent. All of Matcha Matcha’s varieties are organic, 100 percent pure with no fillers or additives. Going forward, Matcha Matcha would love to offer a bottled matcha drink. Matcha Matcha is available to purchase through their website, www.matchamatcha.co.nz, or in a variety of organic stores and cafes in Auckland as well as Farro Fresh and Little Bird Unbakery.
