Encha Latte Grade FAQ’s

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE THREE ENCHA GRADES?

All grades of Encha are pure organic matcha powder grown on our farm in Uji, Japan. Their nutrition content and taste differences are detailed in an informative chart on Encha Grades page.

In brief, Ceremonial-grade Encha is ground from premium 1st-harvest, the most tender leaves each spring. The taste is delicate and smooth. The best choice for the ceremonial style of drinking matcha with just water.

Latte-grade Encha is ground from standard 1st-harvest, high-quality leaves in each spring. When prepared just with hot water, Latte-grade tastes a bit stronger. That taste profile makes it very suitable to balance with the creamy taste of milk.

Culinary-grade is from premium 2nd-harvest leaves.

CAN I USE AN ENCHA GRADE FOR A DIFFERENT PURPOSE (E.G., LATTE-GRADE FOR CEREMONIAL MATCHA TEA)?

Yes. Encha grades are created by Encha Founder and Farmer based on tasting research. But you can totally personalize it to suit your own preference. All grades of Encha are pure organic matcha powder. Feel free to experiment in your healthy creative ways.
