What Makes Unsweetened Matcha Unique

Before harvesting, the Camellia sinensis tea plants are carefully shaded to enhance their natural sweetness and deepen the green color of the leaves. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed, dried, and finely stone-ground into a smooth powder.

Key Characteristics

• Color: A vibrant, jade green hue—an indicator of quality and freshness.

• Flavor: Smooth, bold, and balanced with a naturally earthy tone.

• Aroma: Subtle sweetness with rich, grounding notes.

• Texture: Finely milled to a soft, velvety consistency.

Savor each cup as a moment of calm and connection—perfect for daily rituals, meditation, or mindful breaks.

Ceremonial vs. Unsweetened Matcha (Barista)

Understanding the difference between matcha grades helps you choose the right one for your needs:

Choose Ceremonial Matcha for pure, traditional tea experiences. Opt for Barista-grade Unsweetened Matcha when preparing milk-based drinks or blended recipes.

How to Prepare Matcha

1. Sift ½ tsp of matcha into your matcha bowl with a matcha sifter to remove clumps.

2. Add 2 oz of hot water (just below boiling—around 175°F/80°C).

3. Whisk briskly in a zig-zag (M or W) motion using a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) until a fine froth forms.

4. Enjoy directly from your matcha bowl for a traditional experience or pour into your favorite cup for lattes or iced drinks.

Using traditional matcha tools like a bamboo whisk, bamboo matcha scoop (chasaku), and ceramic matcha bowl enhance your ritual and make thoughtful gifts for matcha lovers.

Elevate your daily routine with the rich taste, smooth texture, and vibrant energy of Unsweetened Matcha.
