Organic Ceremonial Matcha Powder: Japanese Green Tea from Kyoto
Organic Ceremonial Matcha Powder: Stone-Ground Japanese Green Tea
This vibrant emerald-green powder delivers an intensely rich, naturally sweet flavor with profound umami depth and delicate vegetal undertones that dance on the palate.
Crafted from the youngest, most tender leaves of Camellia sinensis grown in the ancient tea gardens of Uji, Kyoto, each batch is stone-ground using traditional granite mills that preserve the delicate cell structure and aromatic compounds. The result is a silky-smooth powder with a fresh, grassy aroma touched by subtle creamy notes that evoke morning mist over tea fields.
The flavor unfolds in layers: initial bright green sweetness, followed by warming umami richness, finishing with almost no bitterness thanks to careful shade-growing techniques that boost chlorophyll and amino acids while reducing tannins.
Perfect for traditional whisked tea ceremonies, creamy lattes, energizing smoothies, or as a vibrant ingredient in desserts and breakfast bowls this ceremonial-grade powder transforms every preparation into a moment of mindful wellness.

Preparation Guide: Traditional Whisking & Modern Applications
Traditional Ceremonial Preparation:
Measure 1-3 grams of matcha powder (approximately ½ to 1 teaspoon) using a bamboo scoop (chashaku) or measuring spoon. Sift through a fine mesh strainer to eliminate any clumps and ensure silky smoothness.
Heat fresh, filtered water to 70-80°C (160-175°F) just below boiling. Pour 70-100 mL over the sifted powder in a wide bowl.
Whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a rapid zigzag or "W" motion for 20-30 seconds until a thick, creamy foam with tiny bubbles forms on the surface. The tea should have a smooth, frothy consistency with no powder clumps visible.
Drink immediately while warm to experience the full spectrum of flavors and maximum nutrient potency.
Modern Variations:
- Matcha Latte: Whisk 1-2g matcha with 50 mL hot water, then add 200 mL steamed plant-based or dairy milk and optional sweetener
- Cold Matcha: Shake matcha with cold water in a sealed bottle, pour over ice
- Smoothies: Blend 1g matcha into fruit or green smoothies for vibrant color and energy boost
- Baking & Desserts: Incorporate into cookies, cakes, ice cream, or energy balls (use 1-2 teaspoons per recipe)
Optimal Timing & Dosage:
Recommended daily intake: 1-6 grams total (1-3 servings). Best consumed in the morning or early afternoon due to natural caffeine content. Avoid after 4 PM if sensitive to caffeine, as effects can last 4-6 hours.
Storage: Keep sealed in an airtight container, stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Refrigeration can extend freshness and preserve the vibrant green color. Use within 2-3 months of opening for peak flavor and potency.
Important: Not recommended for children, adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals sensitive to caffeine or theanine. Does not replace medical treatment.
Pure Organic Ingredient: Single-Origin Japanese Green Tea
This powder contains 100% organic matcha green tea (Camellia sinensis) from certified organic tea gardens in Kyoto's Uji region, where volcanic soil and misty mountain air create ideal growing conditions.
The vibrant jade-green color comes from exceptionally high chlorophyll content, achieved through traditional shade-growing methods where tea plants are covered 20-30 days before harvest, intensifying both color and nutrient density.
Each leaf is hand-selected at peak tenderness, steamed immediately to halt oxidation, then carefully deveined and stone-ground over hours into an ultra-fine, velvety powder that dissolves smoothly without grittiness.

Antioxidant Power & Sustained Mental Clarity
Ceremonial matcha contains exceptionally high concentrations of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a powerful antioxidant compound that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports natural immune defenses.
The unique combination of L-theanine and natural caffeine creates a state of calm, focused alertness. L-theanine promotes alpha brain wave activity, inducing relaxation without drowsiness, while caffeine provides gentle, sustained energy without the jittery crash associated with coffee.
Key wellness properties include:
- Enhanced mental clarity and concentration lasting 4-6 hours
- Improved memory retention and cognitive performance
- Metabolism support and increased fat oxidation during physical activity
- Detoxification through high chlorophyll content that binds to toxins
- Cardiovascular support through improved blood flow and cholesterol balance
The dense chlorophyll content gives matcha its distinctive color while supporting natural detoxification processes, helping the body eliminate environmental toxins and heavy metals.
Regular consumption may help regulate blood sugar levels and support healthy weight management by boosting thermogenesis and fat metabolism.
Athletes and active individuals appreciate matcha's ability to enhance endurance and accelerate recovery, providing sustained energy without the digestive upset sometimes caused by pre-workout supplements.
Cultural Heritage: Eight Centuries of Japanese Tea Ceremony Tradition
Matcha's history stretches back over 800 years to 12th century Japan, when Zen Buddhist monks first cultivated the practice of drinking powdered green tea to maintain alert awareness during long meditation sessions.
The monks discovered that matcha provided sustained mental clarity combined with deep calm qualities that perfectly supported their spiritual practice. This unique state, neither drowsy nor agitated, became known as "relaxed alertness."
By the 16th century, the tea master Sen no Rikyū formalized the elaborate ritual known as Chanoyu (The Way of Tea), transforming tea preparation into a moving meditation focused on harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. Every gesture from sifting the powder to whisking it into frothy suspension carries symbolic meaning.
In traditional ceremonies, the host prepares each bowl with mindful attention to every detail: the placement of utensils, the angle of the whisk, the sound of water pouring, the temperature of the bowl in one's hands. Guests receive the tea with bows of gratitude, rotating the bowl to admire its craftsmanship before drinking.
The cultivation methods used in Uji, Kyoto where this matcha originates have been passed down through generations of tea farmers, with some families tending the same gardens for over 400 years. The region's unique microclimate, with morning mists rolling through mountain valleys, creates ideal conditions for producing matcha's characteristic sweet, umami-rich flavor profile.
