Ceremonial, Premium, or Culinary... these terms describe the different types/qualities of matcha. Ceremonial grade is the highest quality available. Premium grade comes second, and Culinary grade takes last place.
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 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 vibrant green color and a sweet, mild, and rich flavor. It is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony (hence the name) and is perfect for true matcha lovers.
Premium Grade 
An excellent choice for everyday enjoyment. It is produced similarly to Ceremonial Matcha, but uses leaves harvested slightly later in the season. The result is a matcha with a stronger flavor that still maintains a very high quality. Premium Matcha, for example, is ideal for matcha lattes and/or other beverages.
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 flavor. 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 matcha variety has its own unique character and specific uses. Whether you're a fan of traditional tea or looking to try new recipes, matcha offers a variety of possibilities. Try the different varieties and find the one that best suits your taste and needs.
