This product contain only 100% pure green tea powder. There is no black tea in this product. The company also makes an organic black matcha tea that contains powdered black tea. The ingredients for this product are listed on the first line of the Supplements Facts label and it states: Organic Matcha Green Tea"

I believe this has only green tea in the package. They do make another tea with both green & black, listed on the front label.

I'd like to say NO because it is Organic. The ingredients list only lists the organic green tea. I am almost done with my bag of this product. I love it. Mixes very well with both cold and hot liquid (I use a Matcha wisk). Tasted great with or without sweetener. As a bonus it's very inexpensive.

Hi Veronique, Our Matcha powder is from China. We did a significant amount of research beforehand and we found a couple things about Matcha and Matcha drinkers. 1) Is that the price of ceremonial grade Matcha makes every day consumption very expensive and thus prohibitive 2) The radiation in Japan is still a real concern, especially for teas that are consumed through ingesting the whole leaf, of which Matcha is made. We visited and received samples from dozens of farms in China, had them tested for purity and chose the one with the best results. Our goal was to offer a culinary grade Matcha that can be used everyday, is high in antioxidants and will not drain your monthly budget. :) We hope you will try us out for yourself. Thanks again for your interest and if you need anything else, please feel free to contact us via Amazon or through our website's contact form anytime. Best Regards, Anthony KissMeOrganics.com

Rachel, I no longer have the canister that the tea came in, but it is not listed as decaffeinated. Normally, black tea has a moderate amount of caffeine, but not nearly as much as green tea. The tea in the chai is black tea. I copied this from the livestrong.com website (regarding black tea): "Exact caffeine content is difficult to pin down due to mediating factors such as brew time, infusion method, serving size and whether you drink the first or second infusion. However, in general, an 8-ounce serving of black tea brewed for three minutes contains roughly 30 to 80 milligrams of caffeine, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. In comparison, an 8-ounce serving of green tea brewed for three minutes contains about 35 to 60 milligrams of caffeine." I assume that chai actually has less caffeine due to the addition of spices and orange peel, etc. The picture is a pretty good representation of what the tea looks like.

Black tea has one half the amount of caffeine as coffee and a bit more than green tea.You can Google to get a comparison and amounts (white ,green black tea & coffee). This Stash tea also comes in decaf.

Best I can tell this is made from brewed tea. The matcha I have used seems to be from green tea ground to a very fine powder. Since I use this match inserted to me it has much more of a raw taste than the all orgenic instant product. However I don't know that I'm using the matcha properly.

Hi Rosebud, The EGCG levels are comparable in both Chinese and Japanese Matcha. Matcha has over 1,300 units per gram of ORAC Antioxidant Value.

Hi SundayFunDay, Thank you so much for asking =]. To be honest, I tried looking but can't find it. BUT, from what I can tell based off the ingredients, there is minimal amount of caffeine and it's from the green tea. I am sorry! I wish I was able to give you a number/percentage...but hopefully I was able to offer some type of help =\

As far as I know it is gluten free as the following ingredients are indicated on the Island Teas website : Ingredients: Pure Matcha Green Tea Powder, Vanilla Cream Concentrate, Sweet Dairy Whey, Non-Fat Dry Milk Solids & Cane Sugar or DiabetiSweet (Sugar Free Mix). You can go to their website and check it yourself .

Actually Japanese tea contain less lead than Chinese tea. The problem is matcha which is the made with the whole leaf so you get the full amount of lead in the leaf so the Advise is if you want to drink matcha and worried about lead make sure the matcha is made from Japanese leaves. You can read this article for the whole story. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/23/whats-in-your-green-tea/?_r=0

Unfortunately, I don't know the specific antioxidant content. However, here's a bit of info from WebMD: Several teas (including green tea) come from the plant Camellia sinensis. Green tea leaves are not fermented like many teas; they are withered and steamed. Teas from the Camellia sinensis are rich in polyphenols. Whether it's green or black, tea has about eight to 10 times the polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables. Green tea is a great detoxifier. There is no doubt about that.

I'm not sure. But we did switch to a different kind; Vita Life Brand Matcha Green Tea Powder, 10.58oz. - has a less bitter, smoother taste. Not sure about any pesticide problems, though.

Hi, this is pure matcha. Matcha is just the name for ground up green tea leaves. That's the only ingredient: green tea leaves. Same thing as the ingredients of coffee is coffee beans. Hope that helps?

There's no way of really knowing. it doesn't print the amount on the box. Most printed amounts are probably estimates. i'd guess it has a fair amount since it seems fresh and not old. It's pure, classic China green tea.
