Bright green, sweet, and full of umami.

Our matcha comes from the Uji region of Kyoto, Japan, and it's packed fresh in Baltimore. It tastes grassy and sweet, with a deep umami finish and a note of unripe banana. Whisk it straight, pour it over ice with milk, or shake it into lemonade.

"Ceremonial grade" isn't a regulated term. We use it because it's what you search for, and then we hold our matcha to a higher bar. We blind-taste our matcha against other brands with our team, often, and ours keeps winning. One customer told us it was the best matcha she'd had in the Western Hemisphere. We'll take it.

Flavor notes: grassy, sweet, umami, unripe banana

How to Make It

• In your matcha bowl, whisk 1.5 teaspoons (3 g) with a splash of 175 to 195°F water (or cold) into a smooth paste. Think brownie batter, no clumps.
• Add about 1/3 cup more water and whisk in a zig-zag with your bamboo whisk until frothy.
• Iced: pour over ice and your milk of choice. Hot: top with steamed milk.

Questions

Is it really ceremonial grade?
Nobody regulates the term "ceremonial." It's a Western marketing term, and honestly, are you having a ceremony with this matcha or making a latte? What we can tell you is where it's from (Uji, Kyoto), and that it wins our team's blind taste tests against other brands.

How many drinks does a pouch make?
About 13 from the 40 g pouch and 66 from the 200 g, at 3 g per 12 oz. Lighter or stronger, that's 10 to 20 (40 g) or 50 to 100 (200 g).

Do I need a bamboo whisk?
It makes the smoothest, frothiest cup. A small handheld battery-operated frother works otherwise.
