Our Japanese Ceremonial Grade-A Matcha is the highest grade of ceremonial matcha available, sourced from the Yame Region of Japan. The leaves are carefully selected from the first harvest of the season and stone-ground into a silky, vibrant emerald green powder using traditional methods perfected over centuries.
Unlike steeped green tea, matcha delivers the whole leaf in every cup. That means more antioxidants, more L-theanine, and a richer flavor in every sip.
Flavor Profile
Expect a naturally sweet umami base with layers of vegetal notes, subtle nuttiness, and a hint of pleasant astringency. The aroma is fresh and grassy, and the color is a striking, vivid green. When whisked properly, it produces a smooth, frothy cup that reveals new flavor notes with each sip.
A Better Alternative to Coffee
Matcha delivers calm, focused energy without the jitters or crash. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine provides sustained alertness and mental clarity that lasts longer than a typical cup of coffee.
How to Prepare
Traditional matcha: Add 1 tsp of matcha to a matcha bowl. Pour about 2 oz of hot water (just below boiling). Whisk vigorously in a "W" motion with a bamboo whisk until frothy and smooth, then add 6 oz more water and whisk to combine.
Matcha latte: Whisk 1 tsp of matcha with 2 oz of hot water to form a smooth paste. Add your favorite milk (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy) and sweetener to taste. Whisk until combined.
Note: When you first open the tin, a small puff of matcha may escape when the inner lid pops open. That's proof of the air-tight seal. Use the outer lid between uses to maintain freshness.
