Matcha produced by Rishi Tea
Rishi Tea & Botanicals offers Organic Barista Matcha, a culinary-grade powder specifically crafted for modern beverage applications. This matcha is designed to blend seamlessly into lattes, smoothies, and other creative culinary preparations, making it ideal for cafe-quality drinks whether served hot or iced.
The Organic Barista Matcha features a simple, clean ingredient profile consisting solely of organic green tea. Each teaspoon (2g) serving contains just 5 calories, 65mg of sodium, and 1g of carbohydrates, making it a light addition to beverages and recipes.
Rishi Tea produces their matcha through traditional methods, stone-milling shade-grown green tea called tencha (碾茶) into an ultra-fine powder. According to Marino Baca, Regional Manager at Rishi Tea and Botanicals, tencha is harvested just once each year between May and June and is grown exclusively for matcha production.
The company emphasizes their commitment to direct trade relationships with master artisans and organic tea farmers in Japan. Rishi sources exclusive, super-premium cultivars harvested during the spring season, ensuring quality through sustainable farming practices and fair trade partnerships.
While designed as a culinary-grade matcha rather than ceremonial grade, Rishi’s Barista Matcha maintains the traditional production values that define authentic Japanese matcha, including the crucial shading process that develops the powder’s characteristic vivid green color, umami sweetness, and energizing properties from elevated L-theanine content.
