Matcha powder
Energy: ~320 kcal / 100 g dry (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~320 kcal / 100 g dry
- Energy density
- 320 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 320 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 96 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Sealed: months; fades fast once opened — use within a few weeks.
Storage: Sealed, cold, away from light and air — matcha oxidizes quickly.
- Hot and iced matcha lattes
- Sift before whisking to avoid clumps
- Ceremonial grade for straight; culinary grade for milk drinks
Sift first, then whisk with water at 70–80°C — never boiling; keep it airtight, cool and dark, and finish the tin within weeks of opening.
Whole-leaf caffeine plus L-theanine — a serving counts fully toward the ~400 mg/day adult caffeine guidance (much lower in pregnancy).
