Matcha Kudasai - Ceremonial Uji Matcha WAKA 30g

100% Pure Ceremonial Grade Matcha - First Harvest from Uji, Kyoto, Japan

Our matcha is made from the very first harvest of the year in Uji, Kyoto - Japan’s most renowned region for premium matcha. Shade-grown, carefully hand-picked, and stone-milled into a fine powder, this ceremonial grade matcha is deep green, smooth, and low bitterness with a deep umami finish.

Ideal for traditional whisked matcha, it’s 100% pure with no additives - just the highest quality Japanese green tea, as it’s been enjoyed for centuries.

Ceremonial matcha is the highest grade of matcha, made for drinking straight - just matcha and water. It’s called “ceremonial” because this is the kind of matcha traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. No milk, no sugar needed - just pure, vibrant green matcha at its finest.

**Grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, with careful soil management and smaller harvests. The taste is mild, clean, and slightly earthy, with smooth texture. Its green may be softer than non-organic matcha, and the umami more gentle, but it offers a pure, natural experience.

Grades of Ceremonial Matcha

At Matcha Kudasai, we offer two types of ceremonial grade matcha: WAKA and KIYO,  each with its own unique character.

WAKA
Our higher grade ceremonial matcha. WAKA has a deeper green hue and a richer, more full-bodied flavour, perfect for those who enjoy a thick, bold bowl of matcha (koicha-style).

KIYO
Also ceremonial grade, KIYO has a lighter green colour. It’s lighter in taste, making it ideal for a smooth, easy-drinking matcha (usucha-style).

Tasting Notes: Difference between WAKA and KIYO

Which one should I choose?

• Prefer a thicker, more intense matcha? Go for WAKA
• Prefer a lighter, fresher cup? Try KIYO.
  

Both are made from first harvest leaves and stone-milled in Japan. The choice is yours, based on how you like to enjoy your matcha moment.
