FAQ's

Q1. What makes Umi Matcha better for desserts?

Its fine grind, vibrant color and naturally smooth umami profile blend seamlessly into batters, creams and custards without bitterness or graininess.

Q2. Can I use regular green tea powder instead of matcha?

No. Green tea powder lacks the depth, color and richness of real matcha. Your desserts will taste dull and lose their signature green tone.

Q3. Is culinary grade matcha enough for baking?

Yes, but only if it's high quality. Low grade culinary matcha will turn brownish and taste harsh when heated. Umi Matcha maintains color and flavor even in baked recipes.

Q4. How do I prevent matcha from clumping in desserts?

Always sift matcha before mixing, and whisk it with a small amount of liquid first. This gives you even distribution and a smoother finish.

Q5. How should I store Umi Matcha?

Keep it airtight, away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Refrigeration helps preserve color, aroma and freshness longer.

Q6. Can Umi Matcha be used in cold desserts like ice cream or mousse?

Absolutely. Its fine texture dissolves well, giving cold desserts a balanced, velvety matcha flavor without bitterness.
