KYOHAYASHIYA Matcha Powder Ceremonial Grade - Wakamatsu 30g Tin, Kyoto Uji First Harvest

KYOHAYASHIYA Wakamatsu Matcha is a ceremonial-grade, first-harvest Japanese green tea powder from Kyoto Uji, finely stone-milled for bright flavor and a smooth, vibrant cup.

Harvested in Uji, Kyoto — one of Japan’s most revered tea regions — this 30 g tin of KYOHAYASHIYA Wakamatsu delivers concentrated matcha crafted for traditional whisking and refined modern recipes. The powder is produced from shade-grown leaves picked during the first flush, then carefully processed to preserve color, aroma, and a naturally balanced taste profile suited to ceremonial use and premium beverages.

What makes this matcha ceremonial grade and different from culinary powder?

This Matcha is categorized as ceremonial grade because it’s produced from the youngest, tender leaves shaded before harvest, then milled to a superfine texture for a delicate mouthfeel. It is intended for whisking with hot water and sipping plain, rather than heavy sweetening or cooking where lower-grade powders are commonly used.

• First-harvest leaves (tencha) from Uji, known for their refined aroma
• Stone-milled into a fine powder for smooth dissolution
• Bright green color and subtle umami rather than intense bitterness
• Sold in a 30 g (1.06 oz) airtight tin to maintain freshness

How should I prepare KYOHAYASHIYA Wakamatsu for the best cup?

Use about 1–2 grams (a traditional bamboo scoop or 1/2 teaspoon) per 60–90 ml of hot water (around 70–80°C / 158–176°F). Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a chasen (bamboo whisk) until a fine froth forms, or whisk by hand for a light foam if you don’t have traditional tools.

• Scoop: ~1–2 g powder per serving
• Water temperature: 70–80°C for bright flavor without bitterness
• Whisk: bamboo chasen or small electric frother for dense froth
• Storage: reseal tin; keep cool, dry, and away from light

Can KYOHAYASHIYA Wakamatsu be used in lattes and recipes?

Yes — while crafted for ceremonial drinking, its smooth texture and vivid green color also suit delicate lattes, smoothies, and light desserts. Use slightly less powder than culinary grades for balanced flavor and avoid boiling to retain its nuanced aroma and sweetness.

• Try 0.5–1 g extra for a richer latte without overpowering bitterness
• Blend with warm milk or plant-based alternatives below boiling point
• Add to cold shakes using a blender for even dispersion
• Avoid prolonged high heat to preserve color and scent

How much matcha do I get and what are the storage specifics?

The compact 2.8 x 2.1 x 2.1 in package is designed to limit air exposure; keep the tin sealed and stored in a cool, dark place or refrigerate to extend freshness after opening.
