First harvest matcha, also known as "ichibancha," refers to matcha that is made from the first flush or the first picking of tea leaves in the spring. This early harvest yields the highest quality teas tea leaves with a vibrant green color and a delicate, nuanced flavor profile. Ichibancha is known to have a milder, sweeter taste compared to teas born in later seasons because they have a significantly higher theanine level. It is prized for its freshness, sweetness, smooth texture, and significantly greater benefits, making it highly valued among tea connoisseurs.

Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality grade of matcha green tea available. It is made from the youngest, most tender leaves at the top of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant. It is specifically cultivated and processed to meet strict standards that prioritize flavor, aroma, texture, and overall quality. It is prized for its smooth, creamy texture, sweet umami flavor, and complex aroma, and it is packed with nutrients and health benefits. It distinguishes itself compared to other types of matcha which are considered of a lower quality, have a bitter taste, grainy texture, and hold less nutrients and health benefits.

You can tell by the color of matcha if it's high or low quality. Vibrant green hues have a higher quality, flavor, and nutritional content. When frothed, vibrant it creates a thick layer of foam. This indicates matcha crafted from fresh, young leaves at the pinnacle of their flavor and nutritional potency. Matcha with a yellowish or brownish hue indicates lower quality, diminished flavor and nutritional content. When frothed, this matcha will produce less foam. This suggests exposure to excessive sunlight or oxidation, compromising the tea's freshness, taste, nutrient levels, and health benefits.

Unlike traditional green teas, where the leaves are steeped and then discarded, matcha involves consuming the whole tea leaf, which is finely ground into a powder. This means you ingest all the nutrients and antioxidants present in the leaf.

Ceremonial grade matcha is rich in anti-oxidants, fibre, vitamins, caffeine, L-theanine, trace minerals, and amino acids. These fuel this superfood with anti-inflammatory, digestive, and metabolic properties that may promote optimal health for the body and the mind.

Ceremonial matcha undergoes meticulous cultivation. Before harvest, the tea plants are shaded for several weeks to enhance chlorophyll production and create this vibrant green color. This shading process also increases the levels of nutrients, anti-oxidants, caffeine potency, and amino acids, particularly L-theanine, which contributes to the tea's sweetness and umami flavor. The youngest, most tender, sweetest, and nutrient-rich leaves at the top of the tea plant are then hand-picked, de-stemmed an de-veined. After harvesting, the leaves are carefully steamed, dried, and stone ground into a fine powder using traditional granite stone mills. This slow, meticulous grinding process helps preserve the delicate flavors and nutrients of the tea resulting in a smoother, creamier texture and a more refined taste.

The caffeine in matcha is released more slowly compared to coffee due to the presence of L-theanine, providing a more sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with coffee. Matcha is richer than coffee in nutrients and antioxidants, which may have various health benefits that coffee lacks. Additionally, matcha may have positive benefits in terms of oral hygiene, skin health, and digestive health compared to coffee, which may have adverse effects instead.

Matcha should be stored in an airtight container (preferably in the moisture-proof pouch it comes in) in a cool, dark place to preserve its freshness and flavor. It is best consumed within a few months of opening, as it can lose its potency over time. Always make sure to properly reseal the pouch to avoid oxidation.
