🍵 Best Brands of Matcha Powder for Baking
The best matcha powder to use for cooking is a culinary grade or ceremonial grade of matcha.
One of the best brands of baking matcha powder is Matchaeologist, as their premium high-quality Japanese matcha is affordable yet still gives you that distinct earthy flavour and bright green colour.
Another great choice (especially if you're looking on Amazon) is Jade Leaf. They're reasonably priced and have a range of types, but their culinary grade is brilliant for baking!
