Ceremonial Grade Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

It is a powdered green tea produced in Japan. Used as a tea for drinking (Ceremonial Grade) or as an ingredient in recipes (Culinary Grade). MATCHA is produced in Japan.

Ours is a Ceremonial Grade, intended to be prepared as a drinking tea. See method of preparation below.

The Culinary (lower quality) grade is used in recipes and as an ingredient in cooking, Matcha Premium is of higher quality than Culinary, and is an excellent alternative to Ceremonial Matcha if you want to add to milk, yogurt, smoothies or in cooking. Finally, the Ceremonial grade, which is the highest quality, is intended to be brewed traditionally as a drinking tea and is sourced from finely stone-ground, first-crop leaves.

Preparation of traditional Matcha consists of adding 80 ml of water at a temperature between 60° and 75° (not boiling temperature) and 1 serving (1g) of Matcha. Shake quickly using a traditional Matcha Wisk or a standard kitchen whisk.

Yes. Our ceremonial matcha is shade-grown for approximately one month before harvest, a traditional practice that enhances flavour and colour. In addition, the product undergoes radioactivity testing to ensure it complies with strict safety standards.

Our ceremonial matcha is made exclusively from the first harvest. Our premium matcha is produced using first or second harvest leaves, selected to ensure a balanced flavour and versatility for everyday use.

Matcha and green tea both come from the same tea plant (Camellia sinensis), but they are consumed differently. Matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves, so the whole leaf is consumed when drinking it. Traditional green tea is prepared by infusing the leaves in water and then removing them. This difference affects flavour, colour and how the tea is enjoyed, but both are forms of green tea.
