Question 1

Is this matcha powder suitable for making traditional matcha tea ceremonies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, crafted specifically for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and everyday usucha preparation, this fine-milled powder whisks into a smooth, frothy bowl with the vibrant green color and umami-forward flavor that ceremonial matcha demands.

Question 2

What is the difference between ceremonial grade and culinary grade matcha?

Accepted Answer

Ceremonial grade matcha is made from the youngest, shade-grown first-harvest leaves, and is sweeter, smoother, and more vibrant in color. Culinary grade uses later-harvest leaves and is designed to hold its flavor when mixed with other ingredients.

Question 3

How long does a 1.06 oz / 30g pouch last if I drink matcha daily?

Accepted Answer

At ½ tsp per serving, a 30g pouch yields approximately 30 servings. For a daily matcha drinker, that's roughly 3 to 4 weeks of morning cups. Using a full teaspoon per serving, expect 15 servings — about 2 weeks of daily lattes.

Question 4

Does this matcha come from Japan and is it actually organic certified?

Accepted Answer

Certified USDA Organic and sourced directly from partner farms in Uji and Kagoshima, Japan. Our organic certification is verified by CCOF, ensuring every pouch meets the strictest standards for purity and sustainable farming.

Question 5

Will this matcha dissolve smoothly in water or does it get clumpy?

Accepted Answer

For the smoothest results, sift your matcha powder through a fine mesh strainer before whisking. Use water that is warm but not boiling (160–175°F / 70–80°C) and whisk in a brisk 'W' or 'M' motion for 15–20 seconds until fully dissolved and frothy.

Question 6

What does 'first harvest' mean and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Ichibancha, or first harvest leaves, have a smoother flavor suitable for traditional preparation as tea, and are characteristically vibrant green in color, and have higher caffeine and l-theanine content compared to later harvests of tea leaves.

Question 7

How should I store this matcha powder to keep it fresh?

Accepted Answer

To preserve peak freshness, vibrancy, and full flavor, store your matcha in an airtight container in the refrigerator after opening. Avoid exposure to light, heat, and moisture. Best used within 30–60 days of opening for optimal taste and potency.

Question 8

Can I use this matcha for lattes or is it only for traditional ceremonies?

Accepted Answer

Both! Our ceremonial grade matcha powder is top-tier quality to be used for traditional tea ceremonies, and can add a vibrant green to your matcha lattes. If you're adding more than water or milk, consider our barista grade or culinary grade.

Question 9

Does this matcha have any added ingredients or is it 100% pure powder?

Accepted Answer

Our ceremonial matcha contains exactly one ingredient: 100% organic Japanese matcha green tea. No fillers, no artificial flavors, no sweeteners, no additives of any kind. What you see on the label is exactly what's in your cup.

Question 10

What does matcha taste like and will I enjoy it if I don't usually drink green tea?

Accepted Answer

Unlike the bitter or grassy taste of regular green tea, ceremonial matcha has naturally smooth, slightly sweet, umami-rich flavors with light nutty and floral notes. Many customers who disliked green tea find they love high-quality ceremonial matcha.
