NIPPON MATCHA Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder — 100g First-Harvest Uji Kyoto, USDA Organic, Stone-Ground

NIPPON MATCHA Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a finely stone-ground green tea powder from first-harvest Uji leaves, made for traditional whisked tea and creamy lattes.

Harvested in Uji, Kyoto—one of Japan’s most respected tea regions—this ceremonial matcha is produced from shade-grown, first-pick leaves and milled on stone wheels to preserve color and texture. USDA Organic certified and lab-tested for contaminants, it arrives in a resealable, light-blocking tin designed to keep the powder vivid and aromatic after opening. The result is a bright, umami-forward matcha that works well for classic tea preparation or modern beverages.

How does this matcha taste and perform when whisked traditionally?

When prepared with hot (not boiling) water and a bamboo whisk, NIPPON MATCHA delivers a smooth, balanced cup with gentle umami, subtle natural sweetness, and a clean finish. The fine stone-ground texture dissolves evenly, producing a velvety froth without grit or clumps.

• Flavor notes: savory umami, light sweetness, clean aftertaste
• Texture: ultra-fine powder for smooth suspension and stable froth
• Preparation tip: whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with 70–80°C water

Can I use this matcha for lattes, smoothies, and iced drinks?

Yes—its concentrated, balanced flavor blends well with dairy and plant-based milks, creating creamy lattes and milkshakes without needing sweeteners. It incorporates smoothly into cold mixes and shaken iced drinks when sifted or pre-mixed into a paste.

• Works with oat, almond, cow’s milk, and non-dairy creamer
• Mixing method: create a paste with a small amount of warm water first
• Best for: matcha lattes, frappes, smoothies, and iced teas

What quality and safety checks does this product meet?

Produced from single-origin Uji leaves and certified USDA Organic, the matcha undergoes lab testing for heavy metals and microbiological safety, adhering to rigorous standards. Packaging meets California Prop 65 compliance, and the resealable tin helps protect the powder from light and moisture.

• Certification: USDA Organic
• Safety: batch-tested for heavy metals and microbes
• Packaging: light-blocking resealable tin for extended freshness

How should I store and measure this matcha for best results?

Keep the tin sealed and stored in a cool, dark place to maintain vibrant color and flavor; refrigeration after opening can extend freshness if moisture is avoided. Use approximately 1–2 grams (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) per cup for traditional preparation, adjusting to taste for lattes or stronger beverages.

• Storage: reseal tightly; store in a cool, dry spot or refrigerate
• Serving size: 1–2 grams per 60–120 ml water for traditional tea
• Preservation tip: avoid introducing wet utensils into the tin
