葉っピイ向島園 Kazuto Classic Ceremonial Matcha Powder - Shizuoka First Harvest, 30g USDA Organic, Stone-Ground

Kazuto Classic Ceremonial Matcha is a first-harvest, stone-ground Japanese matcha powder—100% pure, USDA organic, and crafted for smooth, umami-rich tea and creamy lattes.

Harvested in Shizuoka using a single-stem cultivation technique, 葉っピイ向島園’s Kazuto Classic offers a vibrant green, non-bitter profile that suits both traditional tea preparations and modern beverages. The powder is stone-crushed to an ultra-fine texture that mixes evenly without lumps, and it contains no additives, sweeteners, or fillers. Certified organic and vegan, this ceremonial-grade matcha also supports sustainable farming practices and social programs tied to the brand.

How does this matcha taste and feel when prepared traditionally?

When whisked as usucha (thin tea), Kazuto Classic delivers a gentle, mellow flavor with a subtle sweetness and minimal astringency. The fine grind produces a silky mouthfeel and consistent froth, so each bowl feels balanced rather than sharp.

• Delicate umami with a mild raw cacao undertone
• Low bitterness, naturally sweet aftertaste
• Ultra-fine, stone-ground texture for smooth whisking
• Bright green color indicating first-harvest quality

Can I use this matcha in lattes, smoothies, and recipes?

Yes — its mild profile and lump-free powder make Kazuto Classic versatile for hot or iced lattes, smoothies, baking, and savory dishes. Because it’s unsweetened and pure, you control sweetness and flavor intensity to suit beverages or culinary recipes.

• Blends easily into milk and plant-based alternatives
• Maintains creamy texture without clumps
• Works well at varying concentrations for drinks or cooking
• Pure, unsweetened powder lets you customize every recipe

What production and quality standards does this matcha meet?

Kazuto Classic comes from a single-origin, first-harvest lot in Shizuoka and is stone-ground to preserve a uniform, ultra-fine powder. It is USDA organic certified and made with no additives, produced by a farm recognized for sustainable practices.

• Single-origin Shizuoka first-harvest leaves
• Traditional stone milling — no cutting or fillers
• USDA Organic, vegan, gluten-free
• Produced by Japan’s first organic tea farm with social giving

How should I store and measure the matcha for best results?

Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from light and strong odors to preserve aroma and color. Use a bamboo scoop (chashaku) or a level teaspoon — typically 1–2 grams per serving — and whisk vigorously for a fine froth or blend with milk for lattes.

• Keep sealed and refrigerated after opening for longer freshness
• Use 1–2 g (about 1 level teaspoon) for traditional usucha
• Whisk with hot water (not boiling) or blend with milk for lattes
• Stone-ground texture reduces clumping; sift if desired

Who is this for? Kazuto Classic Ceremonial Matcha suits tea purists who want a first-harvest, single-origin powder, plus home baristas and cooks who value a smooth, versatile matcha without additives. It’s ideal for anyone seeking USDA organic certification, stone-ground fineness, and a mild, non-bitter flavor profile that adapts well across traditional bowls, modern beverages, and recipes.
