❖ Mark Hurley >> Product Reviews ❖
Matcha sense is top notch quality based on my experience with different brands. The flavor is very rich and smooth. There are two common types of matcha: Ceremonial or Culinary Grade. Ceremonial grade is smoother and less bitter than culinary grade, which is used for cooking purposes. High quality matcha powder exhibits a bright green hue due to its high chlorophyll content. Matcha Sense, as shown above, satisfies this criteria. While taking Matcha Sense, I noticed a steady increase in energy and focus. My mind felt sharper and clearer due to its cleansing properties and benefits as a nootropic.
🌿 To cultivate high-quality matcha, the tea plant is shade grown a month before its harvest in order to promote excessive chlorophyll production.
🌿Each batch is traditionally stone ground into a fine powder using the youngest shade-grown leaves leading to its full consumption.
🌿 Consequentially, all health benefits are also multiplied. Matcha yields an impressive antioxidant score of 157,300 (per 100 grams) on the ORAC scale (blueberries have a score of 9,621). (Source)
Encha’s ceremonial grade matcha powder is carefully selected using premium quality green tea leaves during the first harvest of the spring. The leaves are shade grown for three weeks, and the stems are removed during processing to attain a smooth flavor. The founder,Li Gong, uses his experience at Stanford to test and maximize the potential which matcha tea offers.
To ensure upmost quality, Encha carefully tests for contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, radiation, etc. If you want a clean and relaxing drink chock full of antioxidants, don’t hesitate to give Encha matcha powder a try. Half of the Catechins in the fine powder is EGCG- a potent antioxidant.

Grinding Process: High quality ceremonial grade matcha is attained using a stone grinding process where less heat and refinement is utilized to extract the core nutrients.
Texture: Lower quality matcha has a coarse texture whereas high quality matcha has a silky texture (very fine). Very fine matcha powder is much easier to mix with food or drinks.
