Hi Musiclover,
Great question, I will make sure it's more visible. Each tin contains 30g of ceremonial-grade matcha.
Our matcha is smooth-tasting with no bitterness, the highest possible quality that can be obtained at our farms. We will be expanding into a culinary range soon!
Please feel free to reach out with any other questions.
Around $100 for 100 grams?.. I will be hard pressed to find something more expensive. I would recommend using Amazon AU pricing as a reference point (not food grade, ceremonial grade is sold for $30 per 100 grams there) I drink matcha tea daily, it is just a standard routine. I can not imagine buying $40 a kilo oats or $50 a kilo apples.
Do you use a bowl/whisk to make it? If so, any recommendations?
I found a lazy way that works for me. I mix matcha powder with very small amount of cold water (could be hot by my shaker is plastic), shake it, then I add that 'matcha concentrate' into a cup of hot (70 degree) water, mix it with a spoon and leave it in there for a minute or two and then drink. I find it is too labour intensive to whisk and do it properly daily and the taste is the same for me with my method. Other method involve mixers and/or mini mixers that go into a cup (I think they are called frothers?).
Thanks for your response Musiclover, I can see you're passionate about matcha and understand where you're coming from. Quality matcha, just like many other premium products, can be pricey. However, Sipspa's matcha is sourced directly from family farms in Japan, where the leaves are shade-grown, hand-picked, ground into a fine powder and then packaged into air-sealed tins. The process is labour-intensive and is difficult to compare to oats or apples.
When it comes to matcha, it is very difficult to ignore food-grade as a reference point, as culinary and ceremonial-grade matcha meet highly different standards in colour, texture, taste and even nutrient content. There are even differences in how they are used and enjoyed. I can't speak to what you are seeing on Amazon, but we pride ourselves in having organic, super vibrant green, smooth-tasting, no bitterness matcha that justifies the price tag. Our loyal return customers, 5-star reviews and bundle buyers are proof of this.
We wrote an article on the differences between ceremonial and culinary matcha in case you're interested: https://sipspa.com.au/blogs/articles/ceremonial-matcha-vs-cu…
With that said, we are always working to strike the right balance between quality and affordability. We want our Sippers to experience the best matcha without feeling it's out of reach, that's why we offer promotions and discounts so that it can be tried and tested. We are having our birthday sale now with 20% off site-wide, I invite you to taste the difference!
Again, your feedback is much appreciated and helps us improve. Feel free to reach out for anything else.
Best regards,
Kim at Sipspa
I understand the difference between the ceremonial and culinary grade matcha. You can easily get ceremonial for $30 a 100 gram. I purchased mine even cheaper than that. I repeat, not food grade, ceremonial.
How big is your margin?
Further to that, IMHO Korean matchas are often not worse than Japanese and sometimes cheaper.
PS re my example with apples and oats has gone over your head. I am simply showing what could happen if I applied your margin to other everyday products.
Hi @87percent,
We definitely recommend a matcha bowl and especially a whisk to make your matcha. Once you feel the difference, it's hard to go back! We have matcha, bowl and whisk sets, or complete sets (which include matcha, whisk, whisk holder, bowl, scoop and sieve).
You can find our sets here: https://sipspa.com.au/collections/matcha-tea-sets
This articles goes into the different matcha tools and how to prepare: https://sipspa.com.au/blogs/articles/how-to-make-matcha
Hope that helps!

How much matcha in that cream container? It is very hard to find it on your website. $39 for what? A kilo? 10 grams?
