🍵 Green Matcha Tea Powder UK — Premium 200 Mesh Grade
Green matcha tea powder from Charge Products is a premium grade 200 mesh finely milled powder made from pure Camellia sinensis whole leaves — providing 18g of tea polyphenols per 100g and 2,900mg of caffeine per 100g, alongside the naturally occurring L-theanine, chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals characteristic of matcha. If you want to buy matcha green tea powder UK from an established supplier with a fully declared specification and mesh grade, this page covers everything you need to know about this product, its nutritional profile and its uses.
Matcha is ground whole-leaf Camellia sinensis tea — a fundamentally different format from brewed green tea. When you brew loose-leaf or bag green tea, you steep the leaves and then discard them, consuming only what has dissolved into the water. With matcha, you consume the entire leaf in powdered form, ingesting the full profile of polyphenols, catechins, amino acids, chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals rather than just the water-soluble fraction. This is why matcha is significantly more concentrated than brewed green tea in virtually every measurable component. The 18% tea polyphenol content and rich EGCG catechin profile of this powder reflect this whole-leaf advantage directly.
The 200 mesh fineness of this powder is an important quality specification — producing a very fine particle size that disperses smoothly in hot water, cold water and milk without grittiness or lumping. This makes it suitable for traditional matcha preparation, matcha lattes, iced matcha, smoothies, baking and culinary use. Supplied by Charge Products — an established UK supplier since 2016 with 149,000+ verified marketplace sales and a 5 Star Food Hygiene Rating. Available in 50g, 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg and 2kg. UK-held stock. Same-day dispatch before 3:30pm Mon–Fri.

🔬 Why 200 Mesh Matters — Fineness & Quality
Mesh size is the key specification that separates premium matcha from cooking-grade or commodity green tea powder. 200 mesh means the powder has been milled to pass through a sieve with 200 openings per inch — producing a particle size of ≤74 microns. This ultra-fine grind is essential for:
🍵 Smooth Dissolution
Disperses cleanly in hot water without lumps or gritty residue
☕ Perfect for Lattes
Blends seamlessly with steamed/frothed milk for matcha lattes
🥤 Smoothies & Baking
Incorporates evenly into blended drinks and baked goods
🔬 What Makes Matcha Different — Educational Context
The following describes the chemical composition of matcha and associated research. This is educational context only — no health claims are made or implied. Matcha has no authorised EU/UK health claims.
🍃 Whole Leaf vs Brewed Tea
The fundamental difference between matcha and brewed green tea is that matcha involves consuming the entire ground leaf, whereas with brewed tea you consume only the water-soluble compounds that leach into the hot water during steeping. Research has established that the concentration of EGCG and other catechins available from drinking matcha is significantly higher than from an equivalent weight of brewed green tea, because you are ingesting the full leaf content.
🔬 Tea Polyphenols & EGCG Catechins
Tea polyphenols — primarily catechins — are the principal bioactive compounds in green tea and matcha. The four main catechins are EC, ECG, EGC and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). EGCG is the most abundant and most studied, recognised as a potent antioxidant. This matcha contains 18g of tea polyphenols per 100g. A typical 2g serving provides approximately 360mg of tea polyphenols. All polyphenol and antioxidant content described here is compositional information — not a health claim.
⚡ Caffeine + L-Theanine — The Matcha Energy Profile
Matcha contains both caffeine and L-theanine — an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. L-theanine is associated with a state of calm alertness and is widely studied for its influence on alpha brain wave activity. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in matcha is often described as producing a more sustained, focused energy compared to coffee — the caffeine provides stimulation while L-theanine moderates the excitatory effects. Contains caffeine. Educational context only — no authorised claims.
🟢 Chlorophyll — The Green Pigment
The distinctive bright green colour of high-quality matcha comes from chlorophyll — the photosynthetic pigment in tea leaves, produced in greater abundance when the plants are shade-grown prior to harvest. Shade-growing is the traditional Japanese cultivation technique that also stimulates the synthesis of L-theanine and other amino acids. Higher chlorophyll content is associated with deeper green colour and typically indicates a higher grade, fresher powder. The vibrant green of this 200 mesh matcha is a direct visual indicator of its polyphenol and chlorophyll richness.
💡 How to Use Matcha Green Tea Powder
🍵 Traditional Matcha Tea
- Sift 1–2g (1 level tsp) into a cup or bowl
- Add 50–70ml water at 70–80°C (not boiling)
- Whisk vigorously in a W-motion until smooth & frothy
- Drink immediately for best flavour and colour
⚠️ Boiling water (100°C) can make matcha bitter and degrade the polyphenols — always use water at 70–80°C.
☕ Matcha Latte
- Whisk 1–2g matcha with 30ml hot water to make a paste
- Froth or steam 150–200ml of milk (dairy or plant)
- Pour frothed milk over the matcha paste
- Sweeten to taste if desired — honey works well
🥤 Smoothies & Cold Drinks
- Blend 1–2g into smoothies or protein shakes
- Mix with cold water and ice for iced matcha
- Add to overnight oats for a matcha flavour
- Use in matcha lemonade with lemon and cold water
🍰 Cooking & Baking
- Matcha pancakes, muffins and cakes

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Green Matcha Tea Powder UK
What is matcha green tea powder?
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from whole Camellia sinensis leaves — shade-grown, steamed, dried and milled. Unlike brewed green tea, matcha involves consuming the whole leaf, making it significantly more concentrated in polyphenols, caffeine, L-theanine and chlorophyll. A food/drink ingredient — not a medicine.
What does 200 mesh mean?
200 mesh means the powder has been milled to pass through a sieve with 200 openings per inch — producing a particle size of ≤74 microns. This ultra-fine grind ensures smooth dissolution in hot water and milk without grittiness, making it ideal for lattes, smoothies and baking as well as traditional matcha tea.
What are tea polyphenols?
Tea polyphenols are naturally occurring plant compounds in Camellia sinensis, primarily catechins including EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). They are the principal bioactive compounds in matcha and contribute to its characteristic flavour. This matcha contains 18g tea polyphenols per 100g. Polyphenol content is compositional information — not a health claim.
How much caffeine is in matcha?
This matcha contains 2,900mg caffeine per 100g. A standard 2g serving provides approximately 58mg of caffeine — roughly half a cup of coffee. Not recommended for children, pregnant women or persons sensitive to caffeine. Do not exceed 400mg caffeine per day from all sources.
What is the best water temperature for matcha?
70–80°C — never boiling water. Boiling water (100°C) can make matcha bitter by denaturing delicate polyphenols and amino acids. For best flavour, heat water to just under simmering. For matcha lattes, whisk a paste with warm water first, then add steamed milk.
Is matcha suitable for vegans?
Yes — 100% vegan and vegetarian. Pure ground Camellia sinensis leaves only. No additives, preservatives, fillers or animal-derived ingredients.
Is matcha the same as green tea powder?
Not exactly. Authentic matcha is produced from shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves (typically the Tencha variety) that are carefully processed and stone-milled. Generic "green tea powder" may be produced from non-shade-grown leaves ground by less precise methods, resulting in lower polyphenol content and a more bitter, less vibrant product. The 200 mesh grade and declared 18% polyphenol content of this product are quality specification markers.
Is matcha powder available for wholesale?
Yes — bulk and wholesale formats up to 2kg, with larger quantities available on request. Suitable for cafés, restaurants, bakeries, food manufacturers, smoothie bars and trade buyers. UK-held stock with same-day dispatch. Contact via the wholesale enquiry page for trade pricing.
