Kyoto Dew Matcha Ceremonial-Grade Matcha Powder 30g — Organic, Stone-Ground for Tea & Lattes

Kyoto Dew Matcha is a USDA Organic ceremonial-grade matcha powder from Uji, Kyoto, made from first-harvest tencha for vivid color, balanced flavor, and a smooth daily ritual.

Harvested in Uji, Kyoto and stone-ground into a fine powder, this 30 g tin of Kyoto Dew Matcha blends five Uji cultivars to produce a bright green, umami-forward matcha suitable for traditional tea, lattes, or recipes. The powder is milled and sealed in Japan before shipment to lock in freshness, delivering approximately 30 servings per tin when brewed at a typical ½ teaspoon per cup.

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

Ceremonial-grade matcha is produced from the youngest, shade-grown leaves (first harvest) and is stone-milled to a velvety powder intended for drinking straight rather than cooking. Kyoto Dew’s blend emphasizes color, delicate umami, and a smooth finish rather than the stronger, more astringent notes often found in culinary powders.

• Made from first-harvest tencha leaves for delicate flavor and aroma
• Stone-ground in Japan to an ultra-fine texture for whisking
• Five cultivars (Yabukita, Okumidori, Samidori, Saemidori, Tsuyuhikari) for balance
• Sealed immediately after milling to preserve freshness and color

How should I prepare Kyoto Dew Matcha for the best flavor?

For a classic preparation, sift about ½ teaspoon (roughly 1 g) of matcha into a bowl, add 60–80 ml of hot water (around 70–80°C / 158–176°F), and whisk into a frothy, even liquid. Adjust water temperature and powder quantity to taste; lower temperature preserves sweetness, while slightly hotter water can increase umami and body.

• Use a fine sifter to avoid clumps
• Whisk briskly in an M pattern for froth and smooth texture
• Try ½–1 teaspoon per cup, or blend with milk for lattes
• Store tin sealed in a cool, dark place to extend freshness

Can I use this matcha for lattes, smoothies, and baking?

Yes — while optimized for drinking straight, Kyoto Dew Matcha performs well in lattes and smoothies thanks to its balanced flavor profile and bright color. For baked goods, use slightly more powder to retain matcha’s presence, remembering that heat can subtly alter the flavor and color intensity.

• Blend with warm milk or plant milk for creamy lattes
• Add to smoothies for a green boost and smooth texture
• Increase quantity in baking to maintain flavor after heat exposure
• Combine with sweeteners like honey or agave to accentuate sweetness

• USDA Organic certified and produced from shade-grown leaves
