Experience the pinnacle of Japanese tea craftsmanship. Our Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha is the highest quality matcha available - made exclusively from the first glowing green spring tips of the tea plant primarily sourced from the Kagoshima region of Japan. This is authentic ceremonial grade matcha for true tea connoisseurs: shade-grown, hand-picked at peak tenderness, and stone-ground into an extraordinarily fine, vibrant green powder. The result is a smooth, umami-rich tea with natural sweetness, no bitterness, and a luxurious, frothy texture when whisked. This is matcha at its absolute finest.

Ingredients: Organic Green Tea Powder (Ceremonial Grade from Japan)

Our Ceremonial Grade Matcha delivers a pure, elegant tea experience with complex vegetal notes, natural sweetness, and smooth umami depth. Unlike culinary grade matcha, ceremonial matcha is meant to be savored on its own—whisked with hot water in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony style. The vibrant emerald color, delicate flavor, and silky mouthfeel reflect the meticulous care taken from cultivation to grinding.

Beyond traditional tea preparation, you can blend ceremonial matcha into lattes with steamed milk or nut milk for an energy boost, colorful milk tea with a sweet blended strawberry base or incorporate it into refined desserts like matcha panna cotta or matcha dusted truffles. Rich in L-theanine, matcha provides calm, focused alertness - the perfect mindful start to your day.

Traditional Preparation

1. Add ½ teaspoon (1g) of matcha powder to a bowl or cup

2. Add 3 oz of hot water (185°F / 85°C)

3. Whisk vigorously in zig-zag or "W" patterns until powder is fully dissolved and a fine foam forms on the surface

4. Adjust matcha amount to your taste preference

Storage & Freshness

Unopened: Store in the freezer for maximum freshness
Opened: Store in the refrigerator and use within a few months for optimal color, flavor, and frothiness

Matcha is a raw, unfermented form of green tea and is prone to oxidation once opened. For the best ceremonial tea experience (vibrant color, smooth foam), consume it soon after opening. For use in smoothies, lattes, or baking, freshness is less critical and the matcha remains safe to use for many months.
