Matcha Powders

USDA organic matcha powder — ceremonial grade for traditional tea, culinary grade for lattes and baking. Unsweetened, no additives.

Authentic matcha starts with pure, high‑quality powder. Maestri House organic matcha powders are grown without pesticides, harvested at peak freshness, and finely milled for a smooth, vibrant taste. Choose the grade that fits your style.

Our matcha powders include:

Ceremonial grade – first harvest, delicate umami, naturally sweet, low astringency. Best for traditional tea (usucha or koicha).
Culinary grade – rich flavor, vibrant green, bold enough for lattes, smoothies, baking, and desserts.

Both are USDA organic, 100% pure unsweetened, with no additives, fillers, or preservatives. Vegan, gluten‑free, and non‑GMO. From mindful tea ceremonies to morning lattes, enjoy matcha the way it should be — pure and simple. Made easy. Made enjoyable.

What's the difference between ceremonial and culinary grade matcha?

Ceremonial grade uses the youngest, shade‑grown leaves (first harvest). It has a delicate, smooth umami flavor with very little bitterness — best for drinking as tea. Culinary grade is slightly more robust, with a stronger flavor and vibrant color — ideal for lattes, smoothies, baking, and recipes.

Is Maestri House matcha sweetened or flavored?

No, both grades are 100% pure unsweetened matcha. No sugar, no additives, no artificial flavors. You can sweeten it yourself if desired.

How do I make a traditional cup of matcha?

Sift 1‑2 tsp of matcha into a bowl. Add 2‑3 oz of hot water (not boiling, around 175℉). Whisk in a W or M motion until frothy. Drink immediately.

How should I store matcha powder?

Keep in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Refrigerate after opening (seal tightly to prevent condensation). Bring to room temperature before opening to avoid humidity. Use within 2‑3 months for best flavor.

Can I use culinary grade for tea, or ceremonial grade for baking?

You can, but results may vary. Ceremonial grade in baking can be too delicate and expensive. Culinary grade in tea may taste more bitter. For best experience, use each grade as intended.
