MATCHA IMPERIAL AICHI CEREMONIAL GREEN TEA POWDER
A high quality pure matcha sourced from Nishio, in Japan’s Aichi Prefecture. Known as one of the most prestigious matcha-growing regions in Japan, Nishio has been producing premium green tea for over 800 years, thanks to its rich volcanic soil, misty climate, and pure river water.
Imperial Ceremonial Matcha is a true connoisseur’s tea. With its intense aroma, deep umami, and delicate, smooth finish, it’s a favorite among Japan’s tea ceremony instructors and matcha masters. Its vibrant jade-green colour and creamy texture make it ideal for straight matcha (Usucha), where clarity, sweetness, and refinement are best appreciated.
Made exclusively from shade-grown first harvest (Ichibancha) leaves, this matcha is stone-ground using traditional granite mills to preserve its nutrients and flavour integrity. It's a tea fit for an Emperor—crafted with care, heritage, and artistry.

- Grown in Nishio, Japan – world-renowned for ceremonial-grade matcha

- Hand-picked first flush leaves from the first harvest

If you're seeking exceptional quality for pure matcha drinking, Imperial Ceremonial Matcha is your perfect choice—an authentic Japanese experience in every sip.
This tea is made using traditional Japanese techniques passed down through generations. Unlike mass-produced matcha—which is harvested 2 to 3 times per year with chemical inputs—this matcha is certified pesticide-free, and lab-tested for safety, purity, and quality.
Each 30g tin is produced in small batches and ground at a low speed (just 30g per hour) on handcrafted granite mills. This protects the matcha from heat damage and ensures the resulting powder is extremely fine, preserving all the flavour and nutrients.
