案内 Buying & brewing
A quick guide to choosing the right grade, then getting the best out of it.
Whisked bowls or premium lattes → Ceremonial / Beverage. The finest, sweetest grades.
Café volume and iced drinks → Coffee or Café grades that hold up in milk.
Cakes, breads, confectionery → Culinary / Food. Robust and heat-stable.
Dairy, frozen or functional formats → Special purpose, tuned to the use.
Sift ~2 g, add a little water just off the boil (~80°C), and whisk briskly in a W-motion until frothy.
Make a smooth paste first, then pour steamed milk. For baking, sift matcha into the dry mix so it disperses evenly.
Keep sealed, cool, dark and dry, away from moisture and strong smells. Use opened tins within a few weeks for peak colour.
問 Good to know
Quality, choosing a grade, and our returns policy.
Three quick tells: colour, aroma and particle size. Higher grades are a vivid, almost electric jade — dull or yellow-green suggests older or lower-grade leaf. The aroma should be fresh and sweet rather than hay-like. And the powder should feel talc-fine, with no grit between the fingers.
Because no single grade suits every use. Drinking grades are the sweetest and finest, but their delicacy is lost — and wasted — in a hot oven. Culinary grades are built to keep their colour and flavour through sugar, heat and dairy. Matching grade to use gives you the best result for the money.
Coffee & lattes: our Coffee and Café grades, which stay bright through milk. Baking & confectionery: a Culinary / Food grade that survives the oven. Ice cream & dairy: the Gelato special-purpose grade, tuned to read true when frozen. Nutrition & functional foods: a robust, catechin-rich grade like Vitalis.
Japan's shading, steaming and stone-milling traditions — plus its prized first-flush leaf — tend to produce a brighter colour, finer texture, higher amino-acid content and lower bitterness than matcha from other origins. That consistency is a large part of why fine Japanese matcha commands a premium.
Matcha is sensitive to air, light, heat and moisture. Keep it sealed, cool and dark; refrigerate long-term stock in an airtight container and let it reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation. For the best colour and aroma, use opened tins within a few weeks.
