Ceremonial Matcha

An exclusive blend of first-harvest tencha cultivated in Kagoshima, Japan, this top-grade organic matcha has a delicate, complex character and vibrant green hue—a beautiful choice for traditional preparation.


15+ Servings

An artfully crafted, brilliant green matcha brimming with dewy sweetness and savory umami

Hailed for its elegant savory sweetness, creamy texture and enlivening energy, this organic matcha is crafted from the first tender leaves to emerge in Kagoshima’s volcanic tea gardens each spring. Our longtime partners use traditional shading techniques to produce brilliant green leaves rich in chlorophyll and L-theanine, an amino acid that awakens a relaxed yet alert state of mind.

Crafted with a blend of unique tencha cultivars selected for optimal flavor and vibrant energy, this matcha is beautifully suited for chanoyu, the Zen-based ceremony that began centuries ago in Japanese teahouses. It’s equally at home in the modern café, blended with milk or other teas to build complex, elevated drinks.

Kirishima Mountain, Kagoshima, Japan

Kagoshima, Japan

Kirishima Mountain is an active volcano on Japan's southern island of Kagoshima. The mineral rich volcanic soils of Kirishima Mountain create a perfect environment for growing organic teas. Because Kagoshima is situated in the southern region of Japan, the teas grown here are among the first to emerge during the Shincha season in early spring, sometimes even one full month before the northern regions begin to flush. Kirishima Mountain teas are noted for their lively green color and balance of umami with vibrant green bittersweetness.

Origin

Kagoshima

Kyushu Island, Japan

Kagoshima Prefecture is located at the southwest tip of Kyushu (the third largest island of Japan) and is largely mountainous and home to important lumber, fishing and agriculture industries. Much like the rest of Japan, this region has well manicured tea gardens with well-developed irrigation, and farmers follow strict growing procedures to produce this perfect tea bush shape and size.

FAQs

What is the difference between ceremonial matcha powder and other grades of matcha? 

Ceremonial matcha powder contains only the finest first-flush leaves with the most chlorophyll. This produces sweet, delicate flavors and a vibrant green color. You can use our barista grade matcha for everyday enjoyment, whereas our culinary matcha is a lower-quality grade made to withstand heat during cooking and baking. 

What’s the best way to store my ceremonial matcha powder?

Because matcha is ground so finely, it breaks down quickly when exposed to oxygen and sunlight. Store matcha powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight. We recommend consuming your tin of matcha within two weeks of opening for optimal taste. 

Do I need to buy all the matcha accessories to enjoy matcha at home? 

Technically no. You can make matcha tea at home in a shallow tea cup or bowl, but you won’t be able to fully dissolve the finely ground ceremonial matcha powder without at least buying a bamboo matcha whisk. Matcha bowls are round and shallow, which makes whisking easier, and a matcha sifter allows you to gently and easily sift out clumps in your matcha.

    Perfect starter matcha

    I am just getting into matcha and this was so good! Perfect blend of umami and sweetness, and a lovely bright green. Would repurchase.

    Good

    I like it, it's a bit too bitter and not that creamy for my taste but still good.

    Arrived faster than expected. Very higher mid tier wonderful matcha. Affordable! Lovely green shade in a beautiful white can! A bit toasty, nothing bitter in my opinion, a warm nutty (less grassy) flavor with volume. I could drink this on its own, and clean without sweeteners, unlike some brands I’ve tried. In my iced latte I used less than norm honey and no vanilla (my usual). So good!
