FAQ
MOBA Matcha – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes MOBA Matcha different from other matcha brands?
MOBA Matcha offers premium ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Our matcha is shade-grown, first-harvest, and stone-ground to ensure vibrant colour, smooth flavour, and high nutritional value.
2. What is ceremonial grade matcha?
Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality available. It uses tender, first-harvest leaves that are shade-grown and stone-milled. This produces a sweet, umami-rich flavour with minimal bitterness and a bright green colour.
3. How do I prepare MOBA Matcha for the best flavour?
Use 1 gram (about 1 tsp) of matcha with 60–70 ml of water at 70–80°C. Whisk in a “W” motion using a bamboo whisk until frothy. For a latte, whisk matcha with hot water first, then add milk or plant milk.
4. Can I use MOBA Matcha for lattes, smoothies, or baking?
Yes. MOBA Matcha works beautifully in hot or iced matcha lattes, smoothies, desserts, and baked goods, while also offering an authentic experience when enjoyed traditionally.
5. Where does MOBA Matcha come from?
Our matcha is grown and produced in the historic Uji region of Kyoto, Japan. Uji is globally known for producing some of the highest quality matcha using traditional Japanese methods.
6. How should I store my matcha?
Keep the tin sealed, away from heat, light, and moisture. Once opened, it’s best to consume your matcha within 4–6 weeks for optimal freshness. Refrigeration is optional but helpful in warm climates.
7. How many servings are in one package?
A 30g tin provides approximately 30 servings if using 1 gram per serving. Larger tins provide proportionally more servings.

10. What does matcha taste like and how do I know it’s good quality?
High-quality matcha tastes smooth, slightly sweet, and rich in umami, with a vibrant green colour. Bitter or dull-coloured matcha typically indicates lower quality. MOBA Matcha is designed to meet premium standards.
