Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Powder EMERALD 100 g — First‑Harvest Japanese, Smooth Sweet Flavor

Midori Spring EMERALD is a ceremonial-grade, first-harvest Japanese matcha powder crafted for drinking, cooking, and everyday ritual with a smooth, vibrant green flavor.

Handpicked from shade-grown leaves and blended by a tea master with over 30 years’ experience, this 100 g pouch delivers a bright color, sweet aroma, and a balanced, mellow taste without a grassy afternote. The Emerald grade is designed to perform well whisked as a classic tea and to integrate smoothly into lattes, baking, and culinary recipes, while packaged to preserve freshness.

What makes Emerald ceremonial matcha different from other matcha powders?

Emerald is a first-harvest (ichibancha) ceremonial-grade matcha, which means younger, tender leaves and a concentrated color and aroma. The powder is shade-grown, hand-picked, and stone-milled, then blended to emphasize sweetness and a silky mouthfeel rather than bitter or grassy notes.

• First-harvest leaves for brighter green color and refined aroma
• Shade-grown to increase L-theanine and reduce harshness
• Blended by an experienced tea master to ensure balanced flavor
• Fine stone-milled texture for smooth whisking and mixing

How should I prepare Emerald matcha for drinking and for recipes?

For a traditional bowl, sift 1–2 grams of matcha, add about 60–80 ml of 70–80°C water, and whisk into a frothy consistency. To make lattes or baked goods, use proportionally more liquid or reduce sugar to let the natural sweetness come through; Emerald dissolves and blends well thanks to its fine grind.

• Whisk: 1–2 g matcha with 60–80 ml hot water for a standard serving
• Latte: 1–2 tsp matcha mixed with hot milk or plant milk and sweetener to taste
• Baking: incorporate 1–3 tbsp into batters or frostings for color and delicate flavor
• Cold drinks: dissolve with a small warm-water slurry before adding ice

How does the packaging keep matcha fresh and what’s the best storage method?

Emerald is supplied in a food-grade pouch housed inside a recyclable tin to block light and air—two factors that degrade matcha quickly. After opening, keep the powder sealed in the inner pouch and returned to the tin; store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to extend peak freshness.

• Food-grade pouch inside a recyclable tin for dual protection
• Reseal pouch and close tin tightly after each use
• Store away from heat, light, and moisture; refrigeration recommended
• Use within a few weeks of opening for best color and flavor

Is Emerald matcha suitable for dietary restrictions and quality expectations?

Midori Spring Emerald is a conventional ceremonial matcha that is vegan-friendly and free from added fillers or artificial ingredients. The product undergoes routine testing and is handled to avoid contaminants; it’s intended for consumers who want high-quality matcha without additives.

• Vegan and contains no added sugars or fillers
• Routine quality testing and careful sourcing practices
• Free from artificial additives, preservatives, and unnecessary blends
• Packaged to maintain purity and minimize contamination risk

Who is this for: Midori Spring EMERALD is ideal for matcha newcomers and experienced tea drinkers seeking a versatile ceremonial-grade powder that performs well both as a traditional whisked tea and as an ingredient in modern drinks and recipes. It’s also suited to home chefs and café operators who want a dependable, bright-green matcha with a smooth, nuanced flavor profile and practical, sustainable packaging.
