Ceremonial Grade Matcha Tea Powder

Made famous by Japanese Zen monks, Matcha has been used for centuries to create a sense of calm and focused alertness in both meditation and mindful living. Its harvest and production has been refined to a skillful art while its method of tranquil enjoyment has culminated in the sacred Japanese tea ceremony.

This particular Matcha is produced from the earliest Spring-harvested tea leaves, which have been deliberately shaded to increase the sweetness, as well as the chlorophyll and amino acid levels, before being carefully stone-ground and packaged. Vibrant green with a complex and smooth taste of grassy and nutty sweetness, it is truly an extraordinary tea.

Ceremonial Grade Matcha is great for creating a high-quality sipping tea, while Culinary Grade Matcha is designed to be added to smoothies, baked goods, or other creative tea recipes. Read more about the differences between ceremonial and culinary grade matcha on our blog.
