Matcha Konomi Miyazaki Ceremonial Matcha 30g — Organic First-Harvest, Stone-Ground

Miyazaki Matcha 30g by Matcha Konomi is an organic, ceremonial-grade Japanese green tea powder made from first-harvest, shade-grown leaves for rich color and smooth flavor.

This 30-gram tin contains premium ceremonial matcha sourced from Miyazaki Prefecture, crafted for traditional whisking and modern daily use. Harvested from the first flush and shaded for at least three weeks, the powder delivers a vivid green color, concentrated amino acids, and a naturally sweet vegetal profile. It’s unsweetened and all natural, with a recommended serving size of about 1 gram (roughly 1/2 teaspoon) per cup.

What makes Miyazaki matcha different from other Japanese matcha?

Miyazaki’s climate and terroir create a uniquely bright and fresh-tasting matcha. First-harvest leaves (ichibancha) and extended shading concentrate the desirable flavor compounds and pigments that define ceremonial quality. Processing methods focus on minimal oxidation and careful stone-grinding to preserve aroma and texture.

• First-harvest (ichibancha) leaves for sweeter, subtler flavor
• At least three weeks of shading to increase amino acids and chlorophyll
• Organic cultivation with no added sugars or fillers
• Stone-ground to fine powder for smooth whisking and froth

How should I prepare Matcha Konomi Miyazaki Matcha for best flavor?

Use just 1 gram (about 1/2 teaspoon) per serving to appreciate the balanced umami and sweetness. Sift the powder, add about 60–80 ml of hot water at roughly 70–80°C (160–175°F), and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy. Adjust water volume to preference for thicker (usucha to koicha) styles.

• Recommended serving: 1 g (1/2 tsp) per cup
• Water temp: 70–80°C (160–175°F) to avoid bitterness
• Whisk 15–30 seconds for smooth foam using a chasen or small whisk
• Optional: sift powder first for lump-free texture

Can I use this matcha in recipes and beverages beyond the traditional tea?

Yes — ceremonial-grade matcha adds color and refined green-tea flavor to lattes, smoothies, baking, and cold drinks. For mixed drinks, start with the same small dose and adjust to taste; because this is unsweetened and high-quality, it blends well without overpowering other ingredients.

• Lattes: whisk with a little hot water then add steamed milk or plant milk
• Smoothies: blend 1 g with fruit and milk for subtle green-tea notes
• Baking/cooking: add to batters, icings, or chocolate for color and flavor
• Cold brew: pre-mix into a small hot slurry to dissolve, then chill

How should I store this matcha to keep it fresh?

Preserve vibrancy and aroma by keeping the tin sealed and refrigerated or stored in a cool, dark place. Matcha oxidizes when exposed to air, light, heat, or moisture, so limit exposure by resealing immediately after use and using within a reasonable timeframe for optimal taste.

• Store in an airtight container away from light and heat
• Refrigeration recommended for longer shelf life after opening
• Use within weeks of opening for brightest color and flavor
• Avoid moisture: scoop with dry utensils to prevent clumping
