Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Ceremonial Grade - 30g Tin | First Harvest Japanese Green Tea Powder

Premium ceremonial grade matcha for everyday rituals

Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Ceremonial Grade comes in a traditional 30 g tin, designed for daily use and long-lasting freshness. With ½–1 teaspoon per cup, this single tin can yield roughly 15 full-sized matcha lattes or about 30 traditional usucha servings. At home, you can enjoy a café-like experience at a fraction of the price, making it a practical and enjoyable addition to your daily routine.

The ceremonial blend features a bright green hue, a smooth body, and delicate floral sweetness—perfect for sipping or layering into drinks. Each serving contains 30–40 mg of caffeine, offering a calmer, steadier energy compared with a standard cup of coffee, without abrupt jitters.

Beyond the flavor, this first harvest tea is noted for its natural compounds. The leaves are shade-grown before harvest, helping to elevate color and aroma, contributing to a refined, well-balanced cup with soft sweetness and minimal bitterness.

Why first harvest matters

First harvest, or Ichibancha, uses the season's earliest leaves, typically shaded for several weeks. This practice can yield a brighter green color and a sweeter, more nuanced flavor profile compared to later harvests, delivering a premium sensory experience in every cup.

How to enjoy Jade Leaf Matcha

To make a matcha shot, whisk ½–1 teaspoon of powder in about 2 ounces of warm water (just below boiling). Then blend with hot water, milk, or your favorite dairy-free option to create a latte or a traditional usucha. For best freshness, seal the tin tightly and refrigerate after opening; store away from light, heat, and moisture. Use within 30–60 days for peak color and aroma.

Quick tips for best results

Storage and freshness

Notes on caffeine and energy: Each serving contains about 30–40 mg of caffeine, which some shoppers find aligns with a calmer, more sustained energy while reducing afternoon jitters.
