Beautiful color and lovely taste.

I love this at Matcha Blend. Just can’t drink too much at one time due to caffeine sensitivity.

Love my matcha !

It’s a great tasting matcha. I’ve tried other organic brands and they don’t taste nearly as clean as matcha.com ceremonial grade. I drink two cups every morning.

Premium Ceremonial Master’s Blend Matcha

More about this matcha

What sets this premium matcha powder apart

Master's Blend is the premium matcha powder at the top of our range, and what sets it apart is mostly timing and quantity. The leaves come from two award-winning farms in Uji, and they are picked by hand on the first day of the spring harvest, when the new growth is at its most tender. Only about 100 kilograms are made each year. They are then steamed, dried and stone-ground.

A blend chosen by taste

Each season our tea master grades several lots for color, texture, aroma and taste, and builds the blend from the ones that stand out. Asahi gives it density and savory depth, Uji Hikari adds color and a refined sweetness, and a third cultivar of our own rounds it out. The cup is deep and naturally sweet, with almost no bitterness and a finish that lingers.

How to drink a premium matcha

This is a tea for water, not milk. Its depth gets lost in a latte, so if lattes are your daily cup, our Original Ceremonial Grade is the better choice. Master's Blend rewards koicha, the thick style: knead 3 to 4 g into 1 to 2 ounces of water at 175°F until it turns smooth and glossy. For usucha, the thinner everyday style, whisk 1 to 2 g into 2 to 3 ounces.
