Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
If you're looking for Matcha quality suitable for drinking, you're looking at the right place. The Ceremonial Grade Matcha is the quality grade you're looking for if you like to enjoy a cup of pure Matcha.
What sets Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder apart is its delicate and complex flavor. It offers a smooth, velvety, and slightly sweet taste with a subtle umami undertone when prepared correctly. This grade of Matcha has a well-balanced combination of natural sweetness, bitterness, and astringency that creates a harmonious flavor profile.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, where it is prepared and consumed with great respect and attention to detail. However, it is also the best choice for Matcha beginners trying out Matcha for their mental and health benefits.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha is meticulously produced from shade-grown tea leaves, typically harvested by hand with great care. The shade-grown process involves covering the tea plants for a few weeks before harvesting, which boosts the chlorophyll and amino acid content in the leaves, resulting in a vibrant green color and enhanced flavor profile.
The leaves are then carefully stone-ground into a fine powder, ensuring the preservation of their natural nutrients and antioxidants. The resulting matcha powder has a silky texture and a vibrant, bright green color, indicating its freshness and quality.
Choosing Matcha is not only about the quality and grade of the powder. It's also about enjoying the different flavors and tasting notes created by the teamaster. The teamaster will carefully blend different teas to masterfully reproduce these fantastic tastes.
These 'Standard Matcha Blends' are universal and timeless favorites by Matcha enthusiasts, not only in Singapore, but around the world. It's the perfect place to start.

"Unkaku" - by Marukyu Koyamaen
Looking for high-quality? The Unkaku is surely one to consider. The can will burst open with a rich aroma of creaminess, nuttiness, and floral notes. The high-quality grade of this tea also means it is low in astringency. Therefore, it can be too light if you want to use it for lattes or cooking. This one’s for drinking pure Matcha.
"Hatsu-no-mori" - by Marukyu Koyamaen
I recommend this tea as a very good place to start. Delightful floral notes will be popping onto your nostrils and tongue. They’re floral notes, but not necessarily light. The taste is obvious and present. This unique quality suits very well for drinking pure Matcha, but also for stirring with different types of milk to make Latte. Lots of fans for this one, including me!
"Isuzu" - by Marukyu Koyamaen
This Isuzu 100g gives you good quality Matcha at a budget price. It’s the morning coffee replacement with its defined flavor and taste that’s sure to kick open those sleepy eyelids! Drinking pure Matcha works with Isuzu. This one is definitely a friend of the latte too! Oh – and you’ll be blown away by the results if you try this powder for cooking!
