Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder – Premium Japanese Shizuoka Matcha, 8.8oz

Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder by Aki Foods Japan is sourced from Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture — one of Japan's most celebrated matcha-producing regions, where stone-milled matcha has been crafted for over a century. Made from 100% Japanese domestic tea leaves, shade-grown in covered plantations to develop the vivid green color, deep umami, and smooth flavor that define true ceremonial-grade matcha.

What Makes This Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder Exceptional

Nishio matcha is a regional brand designation — meaning only matcha grown and processed within Nishio City may carry the name. The stone milling process preserves the delicate flavor and aroma that machine grinding destroys. Shade-growing before harvest boosts chlorophyll and L-theanine — the compound behind matcha's calm, focused energy without the jitters of coffee. The result: vivid green, smooth, umami-forward matcha with a naturally sweet finish.

How to Use Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

Ceremonial grade is designed first for traditional preparation — but works beautifully across a range of applications:

• Traditional usucha (thin matcha) — sift 1–2g, whisk with 70ml water at 75–80°C
• Matcha latte — whisk with a small amount of hot water, then add steamed milk
• Cold matcha — whisk with cold water and ice for a refreshing summer drink
• Smoothies — blend 1 tsp into banana, oat milk, or yogurt
• Baking — matcha cookies, cakes, mochi, or chocolate truffles
• Overnight oats or yogurt bowls — stir in 1 tsp for a daily wellness boost

Why 8.8oz (250g)?

The 8.8oz size delivers exceptional value for daily matcha drinkers — approximately 125 servings at 2g per cup. The resealable packaging keeps the powder fresh between uses. It's also ideal for baking and café-style drinks at home where smaller sizes run out quickly.
