Green Foods Organic Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder 5.5oz — USDA Organic, Stone-Milled for Smooth Whisking

Green Foods Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a finely milled, shade-grown Japanese green tea powder crafted for traditional preparation and modern daily use.

Handpicked from small family farms in Japan and milled to a vibrant emerald powder, this 5.5oz ceremonial matcha delivers the flavor, color, and texture expected of top-tier matcha. It’s packaged by Green Foods as a USDA organic product and intended for whisking into water, lattes, smoothies, and culinary recipes. The powder preserves whole-leaf components—chlorophyll, L-theanine, and catechins—so you get the characteristic umami and natural sweetness of ceremonial-grade matcha.

How is this matcha different from culinary or store-bought varieties?

Ceremonial grade matcha is produced from the youngest, shade-grown leaves and stone-milled more finely than culinary grades. That process yields a smoother texture and a subtler, more complex flavor profile suited to whisked tea rather than baking where stronger flavors are acceptable.

• Harvested from tender top leaves during the first flush for delicate taste
• Shade-grown to increase amino acids like L-theanine for umami
• Stone-milled to a fine, uniform powder for smooth whisking

What can I expect when preparing Green Foods ceremonial matcha?

Prepared traditionally with hot (not boiling) water and a whisk, the matcha foams into a bright green cup with a creamy mouthfeel. It also blends well into milk and plant-based milk for lattes, or into smoothies and recipes where you want vivid color and concentrated green tea flavor.

• Use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 6–8 oz water or milk
• Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion for a frothy top
• No sifting required if dry and clump-free; gently break any clumps first

What nutritional or botanical components are present in this product?

This matcha is whole-leaf powder, so it retains water-soluble and fat-soluble components of the leaf rather than just an infusion. The label highlights antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine as naturally present constituents common to shade-grown green tea leaves.

• Contains naturally occurring catechins and polyphenols
• Not a medical product; intended as a food ingredient and beverage
• Certified organic and sourced directly from family farms in Japan

How should I store my 5.5oz tin to keep matcha fresh?

Keep the matcha in a cool, dry, dark place and reseal the container after each use to protect color and aroma. For longer shelf life, refrigerate in an airtight container and use within the recommended period on the package.

• Avoid heat, light, and humidity to prevent color loss
• Use an airtight tin or jar; press out excess air
• Consume within weeks of opening for optimal flavor

Who is this for? Green Foods Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha suits tea enthusiasts, home baristas, and cooks who want an authentic, high-quality Japanese matcha for traditional whisked tea, milk-based beverages, or bright, flavorful culinary applications. It’s ideal for anyone seeking an organic, farm-direct powder with the fine texture and vivid color expected of ceremonial-grade matcha.
