Encha

Q: what is the difference between ceremonial and latte grades since they are both 1st harvest?

I'd be happy to answer this question. This is Dr. Li Gong, Founder of Encha.Ceremonial-grade Encha is ground from premium 1st-harvest leaves, the most tender leaves, in each spring harvest (May) in our farm in Uji, Japan. It is best suited for the ceremonial style of drinking matcha with just water. The taste is delicate, smooth and refreshingly grassy. Latte-grade Encha is ground from standard high-quality 1st-harvest leaves in our farm. When prepared just with hot water, Latte grade tastes a bit stronger (astringent or bitter) than Ceremonial grade. But that extra taste strength makes it more suitable to balance with the creamy taste of milk for matcha latte. Latte-grade, 1st-harvest, Encha Organic Matcha delivers a much greener and smoother cup of matcha latte compared to using 2nd, summer or autumn harvest of matcha. Ceremonial-grade and Latte-grade Encha have the same amount of nutrients because they are both from 1st harvest in our farm. Please view the package detail picture (the 3rd pic) to see the content amount.

Q: Is it tested for radiation? From Fukushima?

Encha has their Analytical Certificate of Radioactivity posted on their website. The date of this analysis is dated for June 20, 2017 and no radiation was detected.Also posted on their website: "We still conduct annual radioactivity test. Radioactivity is NEVER detected in Encha Organic Matcha. Encha is grown in the Uji mountains in the Kyoto prefecture in central south Japan. Its mountainous area is far from the 2011 Fukushima site."Hope this helps! :)

Q: is the packaging BPA free?

Yes, Encha Organic Matcha packet is BPA-free! Safety is a paramount quality criterion for Encha. If possible, we would like the entire world to go natural and organic. Thank you for asking this question!Li Gong, Ph.D.Founder of Encha

Q: Same health benefits as Ceremonial Matcha?

Thank you for asking this question. And thanks to Robert to responding first. The Grades page of Encha site lists detailed information of three grades of Encha pure, organic matcha powder, all grown in our farm in Uji, Japan. All three grades of Encha have the same content in terms of FDA nutrition values and have the same amount of antioxidant Catechins. Ceremonial-grade Encha is ground using premium, most tender leaves from our spring harvest in May. Latte-grade Encha is ground from standard high-quality 1st-harvest leaves in our farm. They also have the same amount of caffeine and theanine. They both taste very good. Ceremonial-grade Encha is more delicate and smooth. That's why we offer it as Encha's ceremonial grade. Culinary-grade Encha is from our farm's premium 2nd harvest in late June. It has the same FDA nutrition content, same amount of antioxidant Catechins, but has less caffeine and theanien due to stronger sun exposure.Please let me know if these information helps you decide on which grade of Encha suits your need. thank you,Li Gong, Ph.D.Founder of Encha
