COMMON MISTAKES to avoid
Your matcha should taste delicious. If it doesn't, you may be making one of these mistakes:
Putting too much matcha in. Matcha is a delicate taste. In most cases a small teaspoon is sufficient.
Not mixing the matcha well enough with hot water prior to adding the milk. Lumps of matcha in your drink is not a good time!
Not adding enough sweetener. We like honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar.
Not using the right milk. Experiment with cow's milk, coconut milk, oat milk, almond milk etc until you find one that suits your tastebuds.
why matcha over coffee?
The caffeine in coffee results in an increased spike of your insulin levels and adrenaline glucose. This is what causes the coffee jitters that we sometimes experience. Matcha contains less caffeine and when combined with the phytonutrients that exist in matcha powder, (including L-theanine), the absorption of the caffeine is slowed. The result is typically the uplifted feeling we experience with coffee, minus the jitters and spread out over more hours than the shorter spike of caffeine hit we experience with coffee.

what are the origins of this matcha powder?
Matcha Wednesday powder comes from Kyoto, Japan. This area is famous for producing high-quality matcha and tea products and boasts a history 800 years long in the perfection and production of Japanese tea.
the history and culture of matcha
Matcha tea was first introduced in 1100's when a Buddhist monk returned to his home in Japan bringing tea seeds with him from China. This started a culturally significant practice in Japan called “the way of tea,” by which the perfect preparation of tea became an artform designed to honour the beauty of perfection in the ideal blend.
how can i tell good quality matcha from bad quality?
Apart from the quite obvious taste difference, high quality matcha typically used in ceremonial practices boasts a brighter green colour. The lower quality grades typically used in baking are a more brownish-green to olive colour.

our story
Every Wednesday we make a thermos of hot matcha and meet on the beach to wait for sunrise. A swim in the ocean, a hot cup of matcha, sandy feet, quality chat amongst friends; a moment to be present and the perfect start to the day. And so, Matcha Wednesday was born from a desire to share our morning ritual with you; adding the extra ch-cha to your matcha to live your best life, every day. We hope you love it as much as we do!
