For superior taste and quality, opting for a premium matcha, or ceremonial matcha, is essential. Find out why choosing a matcha can transform your tasting experience and how to recognize the different grades of matcha.

What is Premium or Ceremony Matcha?

Premium Matcha , or Ceremonial Matcha , is the highest grade of matcha. This tea comes from the young leaves of the tea plant, carefully selected, which contain a maximum concentration of nutrients and flavors. These leaves, coming from the first harvest, are slowly ground into an ultra-fine powder, allowing for a soft and silky texture. Premium matcha offers a rich flavor, subtly sweet and without bitterness , perfect for an authentic tasting.

The different grades of Matcha: premium or culinary

There are two main types of matcha:

  • Premium Matcha (or Ceremonial Matcha)

Premium matcha is traditionally designed to be enjoyed pure, without the addition of milk or sugar, in order to fully enjoy its delicate and balanced taste. Its green color is a testament to its high quality and richness in chlorophyll. However, in Europe, many prefer to consume it in the form of a latte or by adding a little sweetener to soften its unique taste. Whether you drink it pure or revisited, premium matcha offers an authentic and refined experience. Even if it is not called "culinary" this quality of matcha can also be used in all your recipes and preparations.

  • Culinary Matcha

Culinary matcha is perfect for use in cooking. It has a more intense and slightly bitter flavor that pairs well in recipes such as smoothies, baked goods or matcha lattes . Although less mild than premium matcha, it is still a quality option to enhance your dishes and drinks.

The benefits of a premium Matcha

Choosing a premium matcha has several advantages :

  • A concentration of antioxidants : Ceremonial matcha is particularly rich in catechins, a type of powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals.
  • A natural energy boost : Thanks to L-theanine, premium matcha provides stable energy and improves concentration without the jittery effects of classic caffeine.
  • An incomparable taste quality : Its natural sweetness and umami taste make it a refined tasting experience.
  • A traditional tea : Consuming a premium matcha means diving into Japanese culture and reconnecting with an ancestral ritual of meditation and well-being.
