PREPARATION GUIDE

How to Make Ceremonial Matcha

Follow these traditional steps to prepare the perfect bowl of ceremonial grade matcha.

  1. 1

    Sift the matcha

    Use a fine mesh sifter to remove any clumps and ensure a smooth, lump-free powder.

  2. 2

    Add hot water

    Pour 60–70ml of water heated to 75–80°C over the sifted matcha powder.

  3. 3

    Whisk vigorously

    Using a bamboo chasen, whisk in a rapid zigzag motion for 20–30 seconds until a fine foam forms.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately

    Enjoy your ceremonial matcha within 60 seconds for optimal flavor and texture.

FROM THE SOURCE

The farm we chose, and why.

In the volcanic highlands of Kagoshima, at the southern tip of Japan's Kyushu island, the mineral-rich soil and sharp seasonal temperature fluctuations produce tea leaves of exceptional complexity. The farm we source from has been growing tencha. the whole leaves that become matcha, for three generations under JAS organic certification. We visited in person before we placed our first order. We do not blend our matcha across multiple origins or harvests. Every bag is traceable to one region, one season, one standard. The flavour varies subtly year to year, as it should — it is a living agricultural product, not a manufactured one.

Before you ask.

Find answers to common questions.

  • Ceremonial grade uses the youngest first-flush leaves, which are naturally sweeter and lower in bitterness. They are intended to be drunk with water alone, whisked in the traditional way. Culinary grade uses later-harvest leaves, more robust in flavour and better suited to baking or lattes, where the matcha competes with other ingredients. Our ceremonial matcha can be used for lattes, but the reverse is rarely advisable.

  • A standard 1–2 g serve of iki Matcha contains approximately 35–70 mg of caffeine, roughly half that of a standard espresso. However, because matcha also contains L-theanine, the effect is qualitatively different: a calm, sustained alertness rather than a stimulant spike. Most people report no jitteriness and no crash.

  • A traditional bamboo chasen (whisk) produces the finest, most stable foam and is the correct tool for ceremonial preparation. An electric frother works as a practical alternative and produces good results. A blender is suitable for smoothies but not for traditional preparation. We do not recommend stirring with a spoon it leaves the powder insufficiently incorporated.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light, ideally in the refrigerator once opened. Our bags are nitrogen-flushed and resealable to preserve freshness. Unopened: up to 12 months. Once opened: best within 4–6 weeks for peak flavour, though it remains safe to consume beyond that. Do not freeze.

  • Yes, our matcha powder has undergone third-party laboratory testing for microbial contamination, heavy metals (including lead and arsenic), and pesticide residues.
