Jiuyu Organic Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder 100g — First-Harvest, Stone-Ground, 100% Pure

Jiuyu Organic Ceremonial Matcha is a first-harvest, 100% pure green tea powder crafted for traditional drinking and creamy lattes.

This stone-ground matcha comes from Jiuyu’s own tea gardens in Jingshan, Hangzhou — a region prized for tender leaves and ideal growing conditions. Harvested early and processed to preserve a naturally sweet, seaweed-fresh flavor, this ceremonial-grade powder contains no additives, making it suitable for straight whisking or blending into beverages and recipes. The fine, silky texture and bright green color signal careful shading and minimal oxidation typical of top-tier matcha.

How will this matcha taste and feel when I whisk it?

Expect a clean, vegetal profile with mild sweetness and virtually no lingering bitterness when prepared correctly. The first-harvest leaves contribute to a smooth mouthfeel and the characteristic umami note associated with ceremonial grade powders.

• Flavor: delicate seaweed-like umami and subtle sweetness.
• Texture: ultra-fine, silky powder that dissolves smoothly.
• Aroma: fresh, grassy fragrance from minimally oxidized leaves.
• Finish: gentle, non-astringent aftertaste ideal for plain whisked tea.

What are the best ways to prepare this matcha for daily use?

This matcha is versatile: whisk it traditionally with hot water for a ceremonial bowl, or blend with milk for a latte. Adjust concentration to taste; use a bamboo whisk for authentic froth or a milk frother for silky cafe-style drinks.

• Traditional: 1–2 grams matcha + 60–80 ml 70–80°C water, whisk to froth.
• Latte: 1–2 teaspoons matcha with steamed dairy or dairy-free milk.
• Cold drinks: dissolve with a little hot water first, then add cold milk and ice.
• Recipes: incorporate into smoothies, baking, or desserts for vivid color and flavor.

How is Jiuyu matcha cultivated and processed differently from culinary grades?

Jiuyu’s powder is grown in shaded conditions and harvested during the first flush to capture young, nutrient-dense leaves. The leaves are stone-ground to a fine powder and sorted to meet ceremonial-grade standards, resulting in a brighter color and subtler bitterness than typical culinary matcha.

• Origin: grown in Jiuyu’s Jingshan, Hangzhou tea gardens.
• Harvest: first-harvest leaves for superior tenderness and flavor.
• Processing: gentle steaming and stone grinding preserve aroma and texture.
• Quality: no additives—100% pure ceremonial grade.

How should I store this matcha to keep it fresh and vibrant?

Matcha is sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen; proper storage preserves color and flavor. Keep the sealed tin or pouch in a cool, dark place, and once opened store in an airtight container or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

• Short-term: keep in original sealed packaging away from sunlight.
• Long-term: transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
• Usage tip: use within a few weeks of opening for best aroma and color.
• Portion control: scoop dry utensils only to avoid moisture contamination.

Who is this for: Jiuyu Organic Ceremonial Matcha is made for tea enthusiasts, home baristas, and bakers who want a premium, additive-free powder with true ceremonial characteristics. It suits anyone seeking a high-quality first-harvest matcha for mindful tea sessions, vibrant lattes, or culinary applications that demand bright color and refined flavor.
