Matcha is the quintessential part of the centuries old traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Matcha comes in different quality grades from culinary matcha, to premium matcha to ceremonial grade matcha. Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality green tea powder available. It is made from the youngest shade grown tea leaves, with the stems and veins entirely removed. The leaves are stone-ground, which makes the matcha suitable for a thick-style tea.
Featuring a vibrant green color with a smooth, refreshing, slightly sweet and mildly rich flavor, with a silky texture. It makes a delicious tea!
