Product Introduction
Our Uji Ceremonial Grade Matcha – AAA Grade represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese-style matcha craftsmanship, produced in our state-of-the-art facility in China under strict Japanese quality protocols. The tencha leaves used for this ceremonial grade matcha undergo a meticulous shading process for 20–30 days before harvest, significantly boosting chlorophyll and L-theanine content while reducing bitterness. We employ a multi-stage low-temperature grinding process including liquid nitrogen freezing and air-jet micronization to achieve an ultra-fine powder with an average particle size under 25 μm.
This ceremonial matcha powder delivers the vibrant emerald green color, velvety mouthfeel, and rich umami flavor that discerning B2B buyers expect from a true ceremonial-grade product. Unlike standard culinary matcha, our AAA ceremonial grade undergoes stringent color retention testing and chlorophyll preservation protocols, ensuring your finished products maintain their premium appearance throughout shelf life. As a direct source factory, we control every step from leaf selection to final grinding, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency for your commercial needs.

Wide Applications
Tea Ceremony & Premium Drinking
Our AAA ceremonial matcha is designed for traditional whisking and direct consumption. The ultra-fine particle size ensures complete dissolution in 60–80°C water within 30 seconds, producing a stable, long-lasting froth without clumping or sedimentation. The high L-theanine content delivers a calm, focused energy profile ideal for ceremonial-grade drinking experiences.
Specialty Cafés & Premium Beverage Programs
For specialty coffee shops and high-end tea bars, this ceremonial matcha provides the vibrant green color and complex umami profile that discerning customers expect. It performs exceptionally well in ceremonial matcha lattes, iced matcha beverages, and matcha-based signature drinks. The clean, seaweed-like aroma and smooth mouthfeel elevate your beverage menu above standard culinary-grade offerings.
Luxury Retail & Gift Packaging
The exceptional color stability and authentic ceremonial presentation make this matcha ideal for premium retail tins, gift sets, and luxury brand collaborations. Its superior visual appeal—bright, uniform emerald green—commands higher retail price points and reinforces brand positioning in the premium tea segment.
High-End Confectionery & Pastry
While primarily a drinking-grade ceremonial matcha, its refined flavor and color retention under heat make it suitable for premium matcha desserts, macarons, high-end chocolate, and artisanal ice cream. The ceremonial grade ensures that the matcha flavor remains distinct and authentic rather than becoming bitter or astringent during processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes AAA Ceremonial Grade from other matcha grades?
AAA Ceremonial Grade is milled to 2000–3000 mesh with an average particle size under 25 μm, significantly finer than culinary grades (typically 500–1000 mesh). This level of fineness ensures superior suspension in water, a smoother mouthfeel, and a more vibrant color. The higher mesh count and careful shading protocol also preserve higher levels of L-theanine and chlorophyll, resulting in the characteristic umami sweetness and minimal bitterness expected in ceremonial-grade matcha.
Can I request a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We offer free samples (typically 20–50g) for qualified B2B buyers, with the buyer covering shipping costs. Samples are dispatched within 3 business days, and bulk orders ship within 7 days from receipt of payment. Our MOQ for samples is 1 kg per grade; bulk pricing begins at 25 kg.
What certifications do you provide for export to the US and EU?
Our Uji Ceremonial Grade Matcha AAA is available with USDA Organic, EU Organic, HACCP, ISO 22000, HALAL, and Kosher certifications. Each batch undergoes SGS or Eurofins third-party testing for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiology, with full Certificates of Analysis (COA) provided. We also maintain FDA registration for US-bound shipments and comply with EU Regulation EC 396/2005 for pesticide MRLs.
How should I store ceremonial matcha for commercial use?
Store in a cool, dry environment (15–25°C) away from direct light and strong odors. Once opened, the powder should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated (not frozen) to preserve color and flavor. For best product quality, consume within 60 days after opening. Unopened tins retain optimal quality for up to 24 months.

Yes. We provide complete OEM and private label services starting from 100 kg per SKU. Services include custom tin designs (30g, 50g, 100g), branded foil pouches (100g–1kg), gift box packaging, and formula customization (flavor blending, sweetened matcha, matcha latte mixes). Our in-house design team can support packaging artwork adaptation for your brand identity.
