Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
Not all matcha is created equal, and the difference between ceremonial grade and culinary grade is immediately obvious the moment you taste them side by side. Ceremonial grade matcha is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves, which are shade-grown for several weeks before harvest to boost their chlorophyll and amino acid content. The result is a powder that's a vivid, almost electric green — not the dull olive colour of lower-grade matcha — with a smooth, umami-rich flavour that has no bitterness whatsoever. When whisked into cold water or oat milk over ice, it produces a silky, vibrant iced matcha latte that's genuinely delicious without any added sweetener. The high L-theanine content gives you a calm, focused energy boost that's quite different from the jittery feeling of coffee — many people describe it as alert but relaxed. This ceremonial grade powder is our top pick for iced matcha lattes, matcha lemonade, and any recipe where the flavour of the matcha itself is the star. Store it in the fridge after opening to preserve its colour and freshness.
