In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, it’s easy to rely on coffee or energy drinks to power through the day. But what if you could enjoy sustained energy, mental clarity, and a sense of calm — all from a single cup? That’s where Matcha Tea, nature’s green elixir, comes in.
At Herbal Cup Tea, we craft organic Matcha blends using carefully selected ingredients, rooted in ancient traditions and blended for the modern lifestyle. Whether you're sipping it for energy, mindfulness, or wellness, our Matcha range is a ritual worth adding to your day.
What Is Matcha Tea?
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed shade-grown green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, where leaves are steeped and discarded, with Matcha you consume the entire leaf, offering 10x more antioxidants than traditional green tea.
This vibrant green tea has been used in Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries and is now globally celebrated for its unique combination of energy and relaxation — thanks to the naturally occurring compounds caffeine and L-theanine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Matcha tea stronger than coffee?
Matcha has less caffeine than coffee, but thanks to L-theanine, the energy it provides is smoother, calmer, and longer-lasting — without the jitters or crash.
Can I drink Matcha every day?
Yes! Many people enjoy Matcha as a daily wellness ritual. If you're new to Matcha, start with ½ to 1 teaspoon per day and observe how your body responds.
Is your Matcha safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
While Matcha is generally considered safe, it does contain caffeine. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before adding Matcha to your routine during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you're on medication.
Is Herbal Cup’s Matcha gluten-free and vegan?
Absolutely! All our Matcha blends are 100% vegan, gluten-free, and made from USDA-certified organic plant-based ingredients — no artificial additives, ever.
What’s the difference between ceremonial-grade and culinary-grade Matcha?
Ceremonial-grade Matcha (like our Organic Japanese Matcha Powder - 4oz pouch) is delicate, smooth, and best enjoyed with just hot water. Culinary-grade Matcha is slightly bolder and ideal for lattes, smoothies, and baking.
What does Matcha taste like?
Matcha has a rich, earthy, and slightly grassy flavor with umami notes. High-quality Matcha (like ours) has a creamy, smooth finish with a mild sweetness — no bitterness when prepared correctly.
Is Matcha safe for everyone?
Matcha is generally safe for most healthy adults when consumed in moderation. However, due to its natural caffeine content, it may not be suitable for young children, those sensitive to caffeine, or individuals with certain health conditions. If unsure, always consult a healthcare professional.
What foods pair well with Matcha?
Matcha pairs beautifully with citrus fruits, nuts and seeds, dark chocolate, baked goods like shortbread or muffins, plant-based milk, and even savory dishes like soba noodles or rice bowls.
