Organic Uji Ceremonial Matcha

Ceremonial grade matcha refers to matcha crafted specifically for drinking straight, rather than for baking or heavy blending. This organic Uji ceremonial matcha is made from shade-grown green tea leaves harvested during the first spring flush, then stone-ground into a fine powder that dissolves smoothly in water.

Compared with regular green tea, matcha green tea powder is consumed whole, allowing you to experience the leaf’s full flavour, aroma, and natural character. Uji matcha, in particular, is valued for its vibrant green color, refined umami, and clean finish — qualities that reflect careful cultivation and traditional processing in Kyoto.

This Classic Blend is designed to sit comfortably at the ceremonial level while remaining approachable for daily use, making it suitable for both new and experienced matcha drinkers.

Crafted in Uji Using Traditional Techniques

Uji matcha is produced using time-honoured methods that have defined Japanese tea culture for centuries. Before harvest, tea plants are shade grown for several weeks, a practice that increases amino acids such as L-theanine and helps reduce bitterness while enhancing natural sweetness.

After harvest, the tea leaves are steamed, dried, and carefully de-stemmed to produce tencha. The leaves are then stone-ground in small batches using traditional and modern techniques combined, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture and consistent flavour from tin to tin.

This careful process preserves aroma, colour, and freshness — key markers of authentic Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture.

Natural Energy, Smooth Focus

Like all high-quality matcha, this organic Uji ceremonial matcha contains naturally occurring caffeine alongside the amino acid L-theanine. This combination is widely appreciated for delivering a calm, sustained energy that feels smoother than coffee, without a sharp spike or crash.

Matcha is also naturally rich in antioxidants, including catechins, which contribute to its reputation as a balanced green tea choice. While individual experiences vary, many people enjoy ceremonial matcha as part of a mindful daily routine — whether prepared traditionally in a bowl or enjoyed with milk as a latte.

How to Prepare and Enjoy

For a traditional bowl, whisk 1–2 grams of matcha powder with hot water (not boiling) until smooth and lightly frothy. This method highlights the matcha’s rich umami flavour, naturally sweet notes, and creamy mouthfeel.

This Classic Blend is also well suited to matcha lattes. Simply whisk the matcha with a small amount of hot water, then add your preferred milk. Its balanced profile allows it to hold flavour without becoming overly bitter, making it easy to enjoy across different preparation styles.

Storage Instructions

Keep sealed in a cool, dark place. After opening, store the tin in the refrigerator and use within 1–2 months for the best colour and flavour.

Certified Organic

This matcha is certified organic under the Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) program. JAS Organic is officially recognised as equivalent to the organic certification systems of the EU, USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, New Zealand and several other regions.

In practice, this means that when you buy this matcha in Japan, it can be treated as organic under those national standards as well.
