Description This is our entry-level matcha, designed specifically for culinary use, beginners, and students seeking a more budget-friendly option. Made from a blend of 2nd and 3rd harvest leaves, it naturally has a stronger, more robust flavour and a darker, less vibrant green tone compared to higher-grade matcha. This matcha is not intended for ceremonial use. Its colour, texture, and taste are more robust and less delicate than first-harvest ceremonial matcha. It offers good quality for its price; however, if you prefer a more vibrant green colour, smoother flavour, and less bitterness, we recommend exploring our higher-grade matcha selections. Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian. A note on packaging: Pouch colours may vary. Colours are assigned at random and cannot be selected at this time. Note: This powder falls within the culinary-grade matcha category. It’s best suited for beginners, everyday lattes, smoothies, and mixed drinks, where a textured, more robust matcha works well. It is an economical, budget-friendly option, as reflected in the price point. If you are expecting more vibrant colour, smoother texture, better frothing, and less bitterness, we recommend choosing one of our ceremonial matcha selections instead. *Tasting notes and colour descriptions reflect general sensory perception and data provided by our supplier, and may vary by individual preference, preparation method, and seasonal batch.
