YUZUKI Japanese Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder — 40g Tin, First-Harvest Asahi, Stone-Milled Smoothness

YUZUKI Premium Japanese Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a first-harvest, stone-milled Asahi cultivar matcha from Uji, Kyoto, packaged in a 40g tin for about 20 smooth, naturally sweet servings.

This ceremonial-grade matcha is sourced and processed in Japan’s renowned Uji tea region, where shade-grown spring leaves are stone-ground to a fine, jade-green powder. It’s crafted for traditional tea bowls, frothy lattes, and everyday recipes, delivering a creamy texture and pronounced umami without bitter notes. The 40g tin preserves freshness and makes the powder easy to measure for consistent cups.

What makes this matcha truly ceremonial-grade?

YUZUKI matcha uses first-flush leaves from the Asahi single-cultivar, harvested during spring’s initial picking for concentrated flavor. Leaves are shaded for several weeks to boost chlorophyll and amino acids, then milled on granite stones to produce an ultra-fine texture that dissolves smoothly.

• First-harvest spring leaves for heightened sweetness and umami
• Single-cultivar Asahi for consistent flavor profile
• Traditional stone milling for silky, clump-free powder
• Grown and tinned in Uji, Kyoto—centuries of tea expertise

How should I prepare it for matcha bowls, lattes, and smoothies?

Preparation is flexible: use a traditional whisk for a frothy matcha bowl, a shake or frother for milk-based lattes, or blend into smoothies. The recommended scoop is one teaspoon (about 2g) per cup, yielding roughly 20 servings from the 40g tin.

• Traditional bowl: sift, add 80°C (175°F) water, whisk until creamy foam
• Iced latte: 1 tsp matcha, cold milk, ice, quick shake or froth
• Smoothies: blend 1–2 tsp with fruit, milk, or yogurt for color and flavor
• Measure: ~2g per serving; 40g tin ≈ 20 servings

What flavor and texture can I expect from this powder?

Expect a vivid jade-green color, a rounded umami base, and natural sweetness with minimal vegetal bitterness. The stone-milled grind produces a fine, creamy mouthfeel that disperses evenly in hot or cold liquids for a consistently smooth cup.

• Color: vibrant jade-green signaling careful shading and harvest timing
• Flavor: smooth umami with clean, naturally sweet finish
• Texture: ultra-fine, no clumping, easy whisking or blending
• Versatility: equally suited for traditional tea or modern recipes

How is the product packaged and how long will it stay fresh?

The matcha comes sealed in a protective 40g tin that limits light and air exposure to maintain aroma and color. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and reseal between uses; refrigerated storage helps extend peak freshness once opened.

• Packaging: airtight, giftable 40g tin made in Japan
• Storage tip: keep cool and dry; refrigeration after opening preserves flavor
• Servings: approximately 20 servings per tin (1 tsp / 2g each)
• Ingredients: 100% pure matcha, no fillers, additives, or sweeteners

Who is this best for? YUZUKI Premium Ceremonial Matcha fits tea purists who value origin and processing, latte lovers who want a smooth, non-bitter matcha base, and home cooks experimenting with green-tea recipes. It’s also a thoughtful gift for anyone discovering matcha ritual—presented in a compact tin that communicates quality and provenance.
