Aiya Ceremonial Grade Matcha Details

Aiya's leading product. Ceremonial grade matcha from Nishio, Japan, blended for daily drinking. 30g.

The process is what separates matcha from ordinary green tea. The plants are shade grown for weeks before harvest, which forces the leaf to produce more chlorophyll and more L-theanine — that is where the deep colour and the savoury umami note come from. The leaves are then hand picked and stone ground into powder. Because you drink the whole leaf rather than an infusion, you get everything in it.

This is the one to start with if you are drinking matcha rather than cooking with it. Ceremonial grade is blended so the natural sweetness and umami carry on their own in water — no milk needed, no sugar to cover anything up.

One ingredient: pure matcha green tea powder.

It is also the better value of Aiya's two ceremonial options. The organic version is the same grade with USDA certification and costs more; if certification is not what you are buying, this is the same tea.

Aiya has been family-owned since 1888 and is run today by the fifth generation of the Sugita family. They are based in Nishio, in Japan's Aichi prefecture, where matcha has been grown for over 800 years.

Who Aiya Ceremonial Grade Matcha Is For

This suits anyone drinking matcha daily who wants Aiya's flagship blend without paying for organic certification. It also suits anyone new to matcha — starting with a good ceremonial grade tells you what the tea is actually meant to taste like, which a culinary grade in a latte will not.

Kosher certified. 30g is roughly 15 bowls at 2g each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

➕ What is Aiya Ceremonial Grade Matcha?
Aiya's flagship ceremonial grade matcha from Nishio, Japan, blended for daily drinking. 30g.
➕ How is it different from the organic version?
Same grade and same process. The organic version carries USDA certification and costs more.
➕ Should I use it for lattes?
You can, but culinary grade is blended to hold its flavour against milk and sugar and costs less per gram. Ceremonial is at its best in water.
➕ How many servings in 30g?
Roughly 15 at 2g per bowl.

Benefits of Ingredients

➕ Why does shade growing matter?
It builds chlorophyll and L-theanine in the leaf, which is where the deep colour and savoury umami note come from.
➕ What does stone ground mean?
The leaf is milled between granite stones, slowly, to avoid the heat that damages flavour. It is the traditional method.
➕ What is in it?
Pure matcha green tea powder, and nothing else.

Usage and Storage

➕ How do I prepare it?
Sift about 2g into a bowl, add hot water below boiling, and whisk briskly until frothy.
➕ What water temperature?
Below boiling. Too hot and you pull out bitterness at the expense of the sweetness.
➕ How should I store it?
Sealed, cool and away from light, and use it while fresh.

Sift approximately 2g into a bowl, add hot water below boiling point, and whisk briskly until frothy.

Additional Ingredients
