As Aiya’s most popular grade of Matcha, this Ceremonial Grade offers a beautiful jade green color and a mild, natural sweetness. The slight Matcha astringency (from tea catechins) perfectly balances the sweetness (from L-theanine amino acids), making it ideal for Usu-cha, or thin style tea. They call it their “ceremonial” grade because the quality is high enough for formal Japanese tea ceremonies.

• Perfect for making traditional hot tea ("Usu-cha")
• Excellent for daily drinking
• A balanced, sweet flavor for tea lovers
