What Is Ceremonial Grade Matcha?

Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality of matcha available, specifically designed for sipping as a pure tea. The leaves are harvested from the first flush of the spring season, when the young leaves are at their peak in flavour and nutrients. Unlike culinary-grade matcha, which is often used in cooking, ceremonial grade matcha offers a smoother, sweeter taste with no bitterness, making it perfect for drinking on its own.

How to Prepare Ceremonial Matcha:

1. Sift 1-2 grams of matcha powder into a bowl.
2. Add 70-80 ml of hot water (80°C/176°F) to avoid burning the delicate matcha leaves.
3. Whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk until frothy.
4. Enjoy immediately, savouring the smooth, umami-rich taste.

For a matcha latte, simply add steamed milk or your preferred plant-based milk to create a creamy, satisfying drink.

Educational Insights:

• What Makes Matcha Special? Unlike regular green tea, matcha is made from whole tea leaves that are ground into a fine powder, allowing you to consume the entire leaf and all its nutrients. This results in a higher concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals compared to regular brewed green tea.
• The Benefits of L-Theanine: L-theanine is an amino acid found in matcha that helps promote relaxation without drowsiness. Combined with the natural caffeine in matcha, it creates a state of "calm alertness," making it ideal for morning routines or afternoon pick-me-ups.
• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Matcha contains up to 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea. Its most potent antioxidant, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), is known for its ability to support heart health, boost metabolism, and promote a healthy immune system.
