🍵 100% Ceremonial Grade — Grown in Japan
Made exclusively from the tips of the youngest tea plants. Shade-grown, hand-picked (never machine picked), and stone-ground on granite wheels to an ultra-fine ~10 micron grind — the standard of true ceremonial grade matcha. At Ancient Leaf, we never compromise on quality. Not all matcha is created equal — learn what makes ceremonial grade matcha different and why it matters for your cup.

✨ Why Ceremonial Grade?

• Vivid, bright green color — a sign of high chlorophyll content from shade-growing
• Smooth, naturally sweet flavor — no bitterness, no additives, 100% pure matcha
• High in L-theanine — the shade-growing process boosts this calming amino acid, delivering focused energy without the jitters
• Ultra-fine ~10 micron grind — silkier texture, effortless froth, and better nutrient absorption than culinary grade
• First harvest leaves only — the youngest, most nutrient-dense leaves from the season
• 100g ≈ 50–70 servings — your daily ritual, covered for weeks

🔍 Ceremonial vs. Culinary Grade

• Ceremonial grade — youngest leaves, ~10 micron grind, smooth and sweet. Best enjoyed whisked with hot water on its own.
• Culinary grade — older leaves, coarser grind (20–30+ microns), bolder and slightly bitter. Designed for lattes, smoothies, and baking.

If you're drinking it daily, ceremonial grade is worth it — in flavor, color, and nutritional bioavailability.

🔎 What to Look for in Quality Matcha

• Color: Bright, vivid green — not yellow or olive-toned
• Origin: Japan — centuries of tradition and ideal growing conditions make it the gold standard
• Grind: Stone-ground to ~10 microns for silky texture and superior absorption
• Freshness: Small-batch, recently harvested, stored in airtight packaging
• Ingredients: 100% pure matcha — nothing added

🍵 How to Prepare Your Matcha

Traditional Whisk Method (Hot)

• Matcha: 1 tsp (2g) per serving
• Water: 2 oz at 175°F (not boiling — boiling water turns matcha bitter)

1. Sift matcha into your bowl or cup.
2. Add 2 oz of 175°F water.
3. Whisk in a brisk W or M motion until frothy.
4. Add additional hot water or steamed milk to taste. Enjoy immediately.

Iced / Shaken Method

1. Combine 1 tsp matcha with 2 oz hot water in a shaker or jar.
2. Whisk or stir until smooth.
3. Add ice and your milk of choice.
4. Shake or stir well and enjoy.

💡 Tip: Always sift your matcha before whisking for the smoothest, lump-free result. Store in an airtight container away from light and moisture.
