Kyo's Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha, crafted for calm energy, clarity and daily balance.

Our matcha comes from a single farm in Wazuka, in the hills of southern Kyoto — one of Japan's most celebrated tea-growing regions, where tea has been grown since the 13th century. Made only from the first harvest of spring, it's smooth, naturally sweet and a vivid green, with none of the harsh bitterness of lower grades.

What makes it different

• Single farm, single origin: not a blend from many sources, so you know exactly where it comes from.
• First harvest: the youngest, most tender spring leaves, for the sweetest, smoothest flavour.
• Shade-grown: covered before harvest for a deeper green colour and rich umami.
• 100% pure: organic, finely ground green tea leaves. Nothing added.

Taste

Smooth and creamy, with natural sweetness, a savoury umami depth and a clean, gentle finish.

How to prepare

Traditional: Sift 1–2g (about one scoop of our bamboo spoon) into a bowl. Add 70ml of water at around 80°C — never boiling. Whisk briskly in a “W” motion with a bamboo whisk until a fine foam forms.

Matcha latte: Whisk 2g of matcha with a splash of hot water until smooth, then top with steamed or iced milk of your choice.

Frequently asked questions

What does ceremonial grade mean?
It describes matcha made from the highest-quality, first-harvest leaves, intended for drinking. Ours is first-harvest and single-origin, so it's smooth enough to enjoy simply whisked with water.

Does matcha contain caffeine?
Yes. Matcha naturally contains caffeine alongside L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea.

How should I store it?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dark place, away from heat, light and moisture. Once opened, enjoy it within about a month for the best colour and flavour.
