What Is Ceremonial-Grade Matcha?
You will see the words ceremonial grade on many matcha products. Here is what the term usually means and why it is useful when you choose a matcha cart for an event.
What the term usually means
Matcha is finely ground green tea powder. Ceremonial grade generally refers to the highest quality tier, traditionally used for tea ceremonies. It is typically described as smoother, sweeter and less bitter than lower grades. The term is not tightly regulated, so it is fair to ask any provider about their sourcing.
Why it matters at an event
- Taste: a smoother matcha works well on its own and in lattes, so guests who are new to matcha are more likely to enjoy it.
- Color: good matcha has a vivid green color that looks good in the cup and in photos.
- Consistency: a quality powder is easier to prepare consistently at volume.
