Our Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality of matcha green tea available, known for its exceptional flavor, vibrant green color, and fine, silky texture. It is specifically cultivated and processed to meet the stringent standards required for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. Several factors contribute to the designation of matcha as ceremonial grade:

Growing Conditions: Ceremonial grade matcha is often sourced from shade-grown tea plants, typically tencha. The shading process enhances the chlorophyll content, resulting in a bright green color and a sweeter flavor.

Harvesting: The leaves used for ceremonial grade matcha are carefully handpicked during the first harvest of the year, known as the first flush. This ensures the leaves are young, tender, and full of flavor.

Processing: The leaves undergo meticulous processing, including destemming and deveining, to produce a smooth, fine powder. This powder is then stone-ground to achieve the desired consistency, usually with traditional granite mills.

Flavor Profile: Ceremonial grade matcha is prized for its nuanced and complex flavor profile, which combines sweetness, umami, and a slight bitterness. It lacks the astringency found in lower grades and has a rich, creamy texture when whisked with hot water.

Texture and Appearance: The powder is exceptionally fine, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture when prepared. The color is a vibrant, emerald green, indicating high chlorophyll content.
