Which matcha should I choose?
Matcha is a bit like wine. Its flavour is shaped by origin, cultivar, shading, weather and how the leaves are harvested and handled. Every detail influences the final taste, which is why each of our matchas has its own character.
All our matcha is high quality, so you can’t really go wrong. There is no “standard” matcha in our range. Each one offers a different expression, and we always recommend trying a few to find the style you enjoy most.
Higher-priced matcha usually reflects higher leaf quality and flavour depth, but your choice should also depend on how you plan to drink it.
If you’re new to matcha, here are the most approachable options:
No 1 Superior Ceremonial Grade – fresh, soft and elegant
No 2 Traditional Ceremonial Grade – creamy, round and nutty
No 4 Signature Ceremonial Grade – warm, nutty and balanced
No 10 Awakening Ceremonial Grade – naturally sweet, silky and very easy to enjoy straight or in a light latte
If you drink your matcha straight, consider these refined and more complex options:
No 2 Traditional Ceremonial Grade
No 6 Okumidori Ceremonial Grade
No 10 Awakening Ceremonial Grade – smooth, sweet and exceptionally delicious when enjoyed pure

Elevate your matcha ritual with our Signature Ceremonial Grade Matcha. This single-cultivar Saemidori matcha comes from the tea fields of Yame, Japan and is harvested during the first flush in May. The result is a naturally sweet, smooth matcha with a rich umami profile.
Its vibrant green color reflects its freshness and quality. With plenty of caffeine and catechins, it is perfect for focused mornings or calm breaks. The flavor is clean and mellow with no bitterness, rounded out by light nutty notes and a creamy finish.
Whisk 2 to 3 grams for a traditional cup or use 5 grams for a rich latte. It shines on its own and pairs just as well with milk.
Made for anyone who values their matcha ritual, this ceremonial grade matcha delivers a deeper, more delicious experience in every cup.

Frequently asked questions
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from shade grown green tea leaves.
Unlike regular tea, where the leaves are steeped and then removed, matcha is whisked directly into water so you drink the entire leaf and all of its natural nutrients and antioxidants.
Good matcha has a bright, vivid green color and a smooth, silky texture. The taste should be rich and naturally sweet with a gentle umami and very little bitterness.
Most importantly, true matcha always comes from Japan. Every Matchatori blend meets these standards, made with care and attention to quality from start to finish.
Both come from the same plant but are grown and enjoyed in different ways. Matcha is shade grown, which increases its chlorophyll and amino acids and gives it a deeper flavor and more nutrients.
It is also consumed as a powder, meaning you drink the entire leaf. Regular green tea is steeped in water, so you only get part of the leaf’s natural benefits.
We focus entirely on high quality matcha and offer a range of ceremonial grade options to suit different preferences. Most of our matchas come from the first harvest, which ensures exceptional color, aroma and taste.
We also offer a few premium latte grade matchas made from either first and second or pure second harvests, perfect for everyday lattes.
Our matcha comes directly from family owned farms across Japan in Kagoshima, Yame, Fuji Shizuoka and Asahina Shizuoka.
Each region has its own unique character and flavor, and our family of tea growers continues to grow as we discover new partners and harvests.
Ceremonial grade is the highest quality, bright in color and smooth in taste, made for traditional preparation with just water.
Premium or latte grade is slightly less delicate but still smooth and flavorful, perfect for lattes and everyday drinking.
Culinary grade is more robust and slightly bitter, ideal for recipes, desserts or smoothies.
A bamboo whisk helps you create the smooth and frothy texture that makes matcha so special. While a milk frother or blender also works well, a chasen gives a finer, more even foam and a more authentic experience. The most important thing is to enjoy the ritual in a way that feels right for you.
