Why Choose Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Not all matcha is created equal. While culinary grade matcha is good for baking, ceremonial grade matcha is designed for drinking—smooth, vibrant, and rich in flavor.

At Matcha Matcha, our MATCHA MATCHA Can is made with single-origin, ceremonial grade Uji matcha, handpicked and stone-milled in Kyoto. This is the highest quality matcha, crafted for an authentic tea experience.

What makes our matcha special:

• Region: Uji, Kyoto, Japan – The birthplace of premium Japanese matcha.

• Single Cultivar – Consistent, balanced flavor in every tin.

• Stone-Milled – Traditional grinding preserves nutrients and freshness.

• Ceremonial Grade – Umami-rich, mellow, and vibrant green.

Taste & Experience:

• Smooth, creamy, and frothy when whisked.

• Natural umami sweetness, without bitterness.

• A fresh grassy aroma that feels calming and alive.
