Ceremonial Grade Pure Matcha Powder — The Pinnacle of Tea Craftsmanship

Our Ceremonial Grade Pure Matcha Powder represents the absolute zenith of Chinese matcha production. Harvested exclusively from the first flush of spring — the ichibancha — these tender tencha leaves have been nurtured under traditional shade cloths for 20 to 25 days before picking. This extended shading period maximizes chlorophyll synthesis and L-theanine accumulation, yielding a powder of extraordinary sweetness, depth, and vibrancy that stands apart from all other grades.

Only the youngest, most succulent leaves at the tip of each shoot are hand-selected for ceremonial grade. After steaming, drying, and meticulous de-veining, the pure leaf meat is slowly ground on granite stone mills rotating at fewer than 60 revolutions per minute. This low-temperature, low-speed process preserves every delicate aromatic compound — yielding a powder so fine it dissolves effortlessly into water, producing a thick, creamy froth crowned with the signature jade-green hue that connoisseurs prize.

Tasting Notes

Upon whisking, our ceremonial matcha releases an intoxicating aroma of fresh-cut grass, sweet pea, and subtle marine notes. The first sip coats the palate with a velvety richness — an umami wave that transitions seamlessly into a gentle, lingering sweetness. There is no astringency, no bitterness — only the pure, clean essence of shade-grown tencha. The aftertaste is remarkably long, with hints of steamed edamame and meadow flowers.

Quality Assurance

Every batch is tested for over 400 pesticide residues and heavy metals, meeting USDA Organic, EU Organic, and JAS standards. Nitrogen-flushed packaging preserves peak freshness for 12–18 months. Full traceability from mountain slope to mill date is provided with every shipment.
