YUZUKI Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder 40g — Uji First-Harvest, Stone-Milled Ultra-Fine

YUZUKI Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder is a finely stone-milled, first-harvest Japanese matcha crafted in Uji for drinking straight or in refined matcha preparations.

Experience a classic Japanese tea made from first-spring leaves grown under shade in Kyoto’s Uji region. YUZUKI’s 40 g pouch delivers a vivid green, velvety powder designed for ceremonial-style drinking, usucha (thin tea), koicha (thick tea), or elevated matcha lattes. The matcha is stone-milled to preserve aroma, smoothness and natural umami while keeping bitterness restrained.

What makes this matcha "ceremonial grade" and how will it taste?

Ceremonial grade means the leaves are selected and processed for direct whisking with hot water rather than culinary mixing. Expect a subtle sweetness, pronounced umami and minimal astringency when prepared properly. The texture is exceptionally fine thanks to traditional stone milling.

• First-harvest (first flush) leaves for concentrated flavor and sweetness
• Shade-grown to increase amino acids that create umami
• Stone-milled to an ultra-fine consistency for smooth mouthfeel

How should I prepare YUZUKI matcha for best results?

There are simple methods depending on the style you prefer: usucha for a lighter cup, koicha for a richer ceremony-style bowl, or whisked into milk for a latte. Use about 1–2 grams for usucha and 3–4 grams for koicha, adjusting to taste. Whisk with water around 70–80°C (158–176°F) to avoid bitterness and preserve aroma.

• Usucha: 1–2 g matcha with 70–80 ml hot water, whisk briskly
• Koicha: 3–4 g with small amount of water, knead into a thick paste
• Latte: dissolve 1–2 g in hot water, then add warm milk or plant milk

How is YUZUKI matcha sourced and packaged?

The powder comes from Uji, Kyoto—an area renowned for centuries of careful tea cultivation. Leaves are harvested in early spring and processed using traditional techniques that prioritize flavor integrity. Each 40 g tin-style pouch is sealed in aluminum and boxed with Japanese-inspired packaging to protect freshness and present well as a gift.

• Uji-sourced leaves reflecting regional tea heritage
• Slow stone milling preserves color and aroma
• Aluminum-sealed 40 g pouch plus decorative outer box for freshness and gifting

How can I store the matcha to keep it fresh longer?

Keep the sealed pouch in a cool, dark place and minimize exposure to air, light and moisture. After opening, reseal tightly and refrigerate to extend peak flavor for several weeks. Use small portions at a time to avoid repeated air exposure.

• Store unopened pouch in a cool, dry cabinet
• After opening, squeeze out air, reseal, and refrigerate
• Consume within weeks after opening for best aroma and color
