Matcha Grade: Good

CULINARY

  • Made from more mature tea leaves with a stronger, more robust flavor.
  • Has a deeper green (sometimes yellowish) hue.
  • Perfect for baking, smoothies, desserts, and cooking, where the matcha flavor needs to stand out.

    (Think matcha pancakes, energy balls, or matcha ice cream.)

Matcha Grade: Better

PREMIUM

  • Slightly lower than ceremonial but still very high quality.

  • Bright green with a rich, balanced flavor - smooth yet slightly earthy.
  • Great for daily drinking and lattes, offering a good mix of taste and value.

    (Ideal for your morning or afternoon pick-me-up.)

Matcha Grade: Best

CEREMONIAL

  • The highest quality matcha, made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves.

  • Vibrant green color, naturally sweet and smooth flavor with no bitterness.
  • Traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies - perfect for whisking with hot water only.

    (Best for sipping pure, mindful matcha moments.)
