Our matcha

Three grades.
One standard.

Every grade we offer begins in the same shaded fields of Uji and passes the same five-step craft. The difference is the harvest, the leaf, and the purpose — never the integrity.


Ceremonial Grade

The pinnacle. First-flush leaves, hand-picked and stone-milled at 40 g per hour. Vivid jade color, a silky, fine-particle texture, and deep umami with a naturally sweet finish — no bitterness, no astringency.

Premium Grade

Built for the modern café. Bright color and a balanced umami that cuts cleanly through milk — so your matcha latte tastes like matcha, not grass. Consistent lot-to-lot, month after month.

Culinary Grade

A robust, assertive profile that survives heat and holds its green through baking, ice cream, chocolate and confectionery. The workhorse grade for manufacturers who still care about origin.
