How often do you publish new matcha content?

We publish new articles monthly, covering everything from preparation techniques to vendor spotlights. Our editorial calendar focuses on seasonal topics – harvest reports in spring, iced matcha recipes in summer, and storage tips before the holidays. Contributors include tea importers, cafe owners, and home enthusiasts who share their matcha experiences.

Yes, we accept guest posts from matcha vendors, tea professionals, and experienced enthusiasts. Articles should provide genuine value – preparation techniques, origin stories, or educational content about Japanese tea culture. Product reviews and promotional content must be clearly marked. Contact us with your article idea and writing samples.

We reference peer-reviewed studies when discussing health benefits and require contributors to cite their sources. Anecdotal benefits are labeled as such. For nutrition data, we use USDA databases and lab testing results provided by vendors. If research is preliminary or conflicting, we say so rather than making definitive claims.

Our preparation guides come from hands-on testing with different grades and brands. We note which techniques work best for specific types of matcha, since ceremonial and culinary grades behave differently. When we haven’t personally tested something, we clearly indicate it’s based on vendor recommendations or traditional methods.

When we reference specific products, it’s for practical examples – like explaining why one matcha works better for lattes than another. These mentions link to products available on our marketplace. We disclose when content is sponsored or when vendors have provided samples for testing. Our goal is transparency about product mentions while maintaining editorial independence.
