Culinary Grade Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder (70g Pouch)

Ceremonial Grade Vs. Culinary Grade Matcha

You may be wondering: what sets our Organic Culinary Grade Matcha apart from its Ceremonial Grade counterpart? The answer lies in its… age. Born from the same shade-grown USDA-certified organic tea leaves that produce our Ceremonial Grade Matcha, our Culinary Grade Matcha merely has an extra two years of life on earth under its belt.

While age generally enhances the flavor quality of Puer and White Teas, Green Tea tends to lose its distinctive crisp and fresh profile over time. Therefore, yesterday’s Ceremonial Grade Matcha is today’s Culinary Grade Matcha.

While it may no longer meet the stringent standards of Ceremonial Grade, Culinary Grade Matcha can nevertheless be enjoyed in a number of fun and creative ways. Besides, many of the health- and mood-promoting compounds abundant in fresh Matcha remain unchanged over time, ensuring that most of the renowned Matcha tea health benefits have not ‘hung up the towel’.
