Ceremonial, Premium or Culinary... these words provide information about the different types of Matcha / Matcha qualities. The Ceremonial Grade is the highest quality there is. In second place is the Premium Grade and in last place is the Culinary Grade.
In the following sections we will reveal why this is so and show you the differences in detail!
Ceremonial Grade 
This is the highest quality among the Matcha varieties. Ceremonial Matcha is made from the youngest and finest leaves, carefully harvested by hand. The leaves are steamed, dried and slowly ground in stone mills to a fine powder to preserve the integrity of the tea. This Matcha has a bright green color and a sweet, mild and rich flavor. It is traditionally used for the Japanese tea ceremony (hence the name) and is perfect for true Matcha lovers.
Premium Grade 
An excellent choice for everyday enjoyment. It is made in a similar way to Ceremonial Matcha, but uses leaves that are harvested a little later in the season. The result is a matcha with a stronger flavor that is still very high quality. Premium Matcha, for example, is great for matcha lattes and/or other drinks.
Culinary Grade 
As the name suggests, this matcha is intended for culinary purposes. It is made from leaves harvested later in the season, giving it a stronger, more bitter taste. Culinary Matcha is ideal for baking or cooking, as its intense flavor blends well with other ingredients. Whether in cakes, smoothies or as a spice, Culinary Matcha adds a special touch to your dishes.
Each type of matcha has its own character and special use. Whether you're a fan of traditional tea or want to try new recipes, matcha offers you a variety of possibilities. Try the different types and find out which one best suits your taste and needs.
