Key Features

Premium Japanese Origin

Our ceremonial grade matcha comes exclusively from Japan's renowned tea-growing regions, where centuries-old cultivation methods ensure exceptional quality. The tea leaves are shade-grown for weeks before harvest, developing the characteristic deep green colour and complex flavour profile.

Stone-Ground Perfection

Traditional granite stone mills grind the tea leaves into an ultra-fine powder, preserving the delicate cellular structure and maximising nutritional benefits. This ancient method produces the silky texture that ceremonial grade matcha is famous for.

• 100g: Ideal for regular matcha drinkers
• 250g: Great value for daily consumption
• 500g: Excellent for cafes and frequent users

Organic Certification

Certified organic and completely pesticide-free, our matcha meets the highest standards for purity and environmental responsibility.

Unique Selling Points

Authentic Ceremonial Quality

Unlike culinary grades, BrewNova's ceremonial matcha uses only the youngest, most tender tea leaves. This results in a naturally sweet flavour without any bitterness, making it perfect for drinking straight without added sugars or milk.

Vibrant Colour Retention

Our careful packaging and storage methods preserve the brilliant jade-green colour that indicates fresh, high-quality matcha. You'll notice the difference immediately when you open the tin.

Versatile Applications

While designed for traditional tea ceremonies, this premium matcha works brilliantly in lattes, smoothies, and even baking. The superior flavour profile enhances any recipe calling for matcha powder.

Benefits and Why Choose This Product

The health benefits of ceremonial grade matcha are impressive - it contains significantly more antioxidants than regular green tea because you're consuming the entire leaf rather than just an infusion. The L-theanine content promotes calm focus without the jitters often associated with coffee, making it ideal for morning routines or afternoon pick-me-ups.

What sets BrewNova apart is our commitment to authenticity. Many brands cut corners with lower grades or blend different qualities, but we maintain strict ceremonial standards throughout our supply chain. The result? A matcha that tastes exactly as it should - smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet with those distinctive grassy undertones that matcha connoisseurs appreciate.

Price-wise, you're getting exceptional value. When you break down the cost per serving, premium ceremonial matcha actually works out quite reasonable compared to daily coffee shop visits, plus you're getting far superior nutritional benefits.

How to Use and Maintenance

Traditional Preparation Method

1. Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps
2. Add about 60ml of water heated to 70-80°C (not boiling)
3. Whisk vigorously in a 'W' motion using a bamboo whisk until frothy
4. Continue whisking for 15-30 seconds until smooth and creamy
5. Enjoy immediately for best flavour

Modern Latte Preparation

Heat your milk of choice (dairy or plant-based work equally well) and prepare the matcha as above with less water. Combine and whisk together, or use a milk frother for extra foam.

Storage Tips

Keep your matcha in its original sealed container, stored in the refrigerator after opening. This preserves the vibrant colour and prevents oxidation. Properly stored ceremonial grade matcha maintains its quality for up to 12 months, though it's best consumed within 6 months of opening for optimal flavour.

Always use a dry spoon when measuring - moisture can cause clumping and affect the powder's texture.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between ceremonial and culinary grade matcha?

Ceremonial grade uses only the youngest, most tender leaves and has a naturally sweet flavour that's perfect for drinking straight. Culinary grade is slightly more bitter and better suited for cooking and baking where other ingredients balance the flavour.

How many servings do I get from each size?

A 30g tin provides approximately 15-20 servings, 100g gives you 50-65 servings, and so on. This depends on whether you prefer a lighter or stronger matcha flavour - some people use up to 2 teaspoons per serving.

Can I use this matcha for baking and cooking?

Absolutely! While it's designed for drinking, ceremonial grade actually works beautifully in recipes because of its superior flavour. You might find it's almost too good for baking though - many people prefer to save ceremonial grade for drinking and use culinary grade for cooking.

Why does my matcha sometimes taste bitter?

Usually this comes down to water temperature or whisking technique. Water that's too hot (over 80°C) can make matcha taste bitter. Also, if you don't whisk thoroughly enough, you'll get an uneven texture that affects the taste.

How should I store opened matcha powder?

Pop it straight in the fridge in its original sealed container. The cold temperature slows down oxidation and keeps that brilliant green colour. Some people freeze it for longer storage, which works fine too.

Is this matcha suitable for people avoiding caffeine?

Matcha does contain caffeine - about 35mg per serving, which is less than coffee but more than regular tea. However, the L-theanine content means you get sustained energy without crashes, so many people find it gentler than coffee.

What equipment do I need for proper matcha preparation?

Honestly, you can start with just a regular whisk and bowl, though a bamboo whisk (chasen) does make a difference to the final texture. A fine-mesh sieve helps prevent clumps too. Don't feel you need to buy expensive ceremony sets to enjoy good matcha.

Can I make matcha ahead of time?

Not really - matcha is best consumed immediately after preparation. The powder settles quickly and the flavour changes once it sits. If you're making matcha lattes regularly, you could prepare a concentrated mixture and store it for a day or two, but fresh is always better.
