Guide to Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Ceremonial matcha, often referred to as tencha, is the pinnacle of green tea quality. Grown under shade, these tender leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder, preserving maximum nutrients and flavor. Unlike regular matcha, ceremonial grade is prized for its rich, umami taste and smooth texture.

Health Benefits of Ceremonial Matcha

Rich in antioxidants: Matcha is packed with powerful antioxidants called catechins, which help protect your cells from damage.

Boosts brain function: L-theanine, an amino acid found in matcha, promotes relaxation and focus, enhancing cognitive function.

Metabolism boost: Matcha can help increase metabolism, aiding in weight management.

Immune system support: The high concentration of antioxidants in matcha strengthens your immune system.

The Art of Matcha making

Equipment: A matcha bowl, bamboo whisk (chasen), and a fine-mesh sieve are essential.
Water: Use filtered water heated to around 175°F (80°C).
Scooping: Use a bamboo scoop (chashaku) to measure out the correct amount of matcha powder.
Sifting: Sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps.
Whisking: Add hot water to the bowl and whisk vigorously in a "M" pattern until a frothy texture forms.
