What is [high-grade] matcha?
The term [ceremonial grade] has become a marketing label. We prefer to call matcha what it actually is: high-grade matcha. Not because it sounds premium, but because it reflects the quality in the cup.
[Brighter green colour, smoother texture, natural sweetness and a cleaner] more balanced taste. Good matcha looks different, tastes different and feels different from the very first sip.
