In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.
Shake the pot gently, holding the lid in place, to prevent the kernels from burning.
Once the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and allow the remaining kernels to pop.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of matcha green tea powder with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and a pinch of salt.
Drizzle another tablespoon of melted coconut oil over the popcorn to help the seasonings adhere.
Sprinkle the matcha sugar mixture over the popcorn and toss well to evenly coat each piece.
Serve immediately and enjoy your exotic, matcha-flavored popcorn!
