Buy Matcha in NZ: What Makes a Good Matcha Powder?

Matcha has taken the world by storm — and for good reason. With its rich flavour, calm energy, and skin-loving antioxidants, it’s one of the most versatile superfoods around. But if you're trying to buy matcha in NZ, the choices can feel overwhelming.

So what actually makes a matcha powder worth your money? And how do you avoid the bitter, low-grade stuff?


🍵 What to Look for When Buying Matcha in NZ

If you’re investing in matcha for your health, taste, or focus — quality matters. Here's what to check before you click "Add to Cart":

✅ 1. Grade Matters – Go for AAA or Ceremonial

High-grade matcha is made from the youngest leaves, finely stone-ground for superior texture and flavour.
Our AAA-Grade Organic Matcha Powder is perfect for daily drinking, lattes, and even skincare.

✅ 2. Colour Tells a Story

Vibrant green matcha = fresh and packed with chlorophyll. Dull, brownish-green matcha = old or low-grade.

✅ 3. Origin and Organic Certification

Look for matcha sourced from reputable farms (usually in Japan or certified organic producers). Ours is 100% organic and tested for heavy metals and pesticides.

✅ 4. Texture

Top quality matcha is silky smooth, not gritty or sandy.

✅ 5. Taste

Good matcha should be naturally smooth with a mild umami sweetness — not overly bitter or harsh.

💬 Final Tip: Know What You're Paying For

Some brands mix low-grade matcha with fillers or sell culinary-grade powder as ceremonial. Always read the label and check the grading. If it’s too cheap to be true… it probably is.
