Imperial Matcha – Award-Winning Ceremonial-Grade Green Tea Powder
Experience matcha like never before with our Imperial Matcha, a 1st Place Winner at the North American Tea Championships. This ceremonial-grade Japanese green tea powder is shade-grown and hand-harvested from the finest tea leaves in Japan, resulting in a naturally vibrant green color packed with chlorophyll, antioxidants, and nutrients.
Unlike lower-grade matcha, this tea is never bitter—just bold, smooth, and deeply energizing. Its ultra-fine texture (just half a micron) makes it easy to whisk into a frothy, velvety bowl of pure green tea or blend seamlessly into your favorite matcha latte or smoothie.
Whether you're following a mindful morning ritual or searching for clean, sustained energy without the crash, Imperial Matcha delivers a focused, calm alertness thanks to its unique balance of caffeine and L-theanine.

How to Prepare Matcha
To prepare matcha, you’ll need a few traditional tools:
-
Chashaku (bamboo scoop – optional)
Start by warming your tea bowl and whisk with hot water to prevent cracking and keep the matcha smooth. Our bamboo whisk is crafted from a single piece of bamboo and tied by hand to create an alternating pattern that helps whip matcha into a frothy, creamy texture.
Use warm water around 175°F (never boiling) as high temperatures can burn the matcha and create bitterness.
Next:
-
Scoop about 1 teaspoon of matcha into your bowl.
-
Add warm water.
-
Whisk vigorously in an "M" or "W" motion until frothy and smooth.
