Japanese Matchas
Ceremonial Matcha
Ceremonial matcha is the highest grade of matcha tea and is prized for its exceptional quality. It is mainly produced in Japan, where matcha tea ceremonies have been integral to the country’s culture for centuries. The tea leaves used for ceremonial matcha are shaded for several weeks before harvesting, which increases their chlorophyll content and enhances the tea’s vibrant green color. The leaves are then carefully stone-ground into a fine powder.
Culinary Matcha
Culinary matcha, also known as cooking matcha, is another type of matcha tea commonly used in culinary applications. It is made from tea leaves of a slightly lower grade than ceremonial matcha and is specifically intended for cooking and baking. The tea leaves used for culinary matcha are usually slightly older and have a stronger, more robust flavor.
