Matcha, a finely ground powder made from specially grown green tea leaves, has transcended its traditional roots to become a global phenomenon. Renowned for its vibrant green hue and rich, earthy flavor, matcha offers a unique and healthful alternative to regular green tea. At More Than Matcha, we take pride in offering 100% Organic, Ceremonial Grade, Premium Matcha Powder, handpicked from the first harvest.
What is Ceremonial-Grade Matcha?
Ceremonial-grade matcha represents the pinnacle of matcha quality. Harvested from the youngest, most tender leaves, it undergoes meticulous processing to preserve its delicate flavors and vibrant color. Unlike regular matcha, which may contain stems and veins, ceremonial-grade matcha is finely ground to a smooth texture. This grade is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, emphasizing its cultural and ritual significance.
At More Than Matcha, our ceremonial-grade matcha is sourced exclusively from the first harvest. This ensures a fresh, nuanced flavor profile that is both rich and smooth. The leaves are shade-grown, enhancing their chlorophyll content and imparting a vibrant green color. The meticulous processing preserves the natural antioxidants and amino acids, offering a superior matcha experience.
Why Organic Matcha is Better
Choosing organic matcha offers several compelling advantages:
-
Purity: Organic matcha is cultivated without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, ensuring a clean and natural product.
-
Health Benefits: Organic matcha is rich in catechins, potent antioxidants that combat oxidative stress. Regular consumption may support cardiovascular health, enhance brain function, and aid in weight management.
-
Environmental Impact: Organic farming practices promote soil health and biodiversity, contributing to a more sustainable ecosystem.
At More Than Matcha, our commitment to organic cultivation ensures that every sip of our matcha supports your health and the planet.
