CHOOSE BY HOW YOU WILL USE IT
Matcha grade names are not a standardized system in Japan, so the label alone does not tell you the origin, cultivar, harvest, or intended use.
Choose ceremonial matcha when the matcha itself is the focus—whisked with water or used in a matcha-forward latte. Choose culinary matcha when milk, sugar, chocolate, or other ingredients need a bolder tea flavor.
Yōko Matcha currently offers ceremonial matcha for home drinkers and wholesale buyers. Culinary matcha is available only as a 500g wholesale bag.
CEREMONIAL MATCHA
Choose ceremonial matcha for whisking with water, unsweetened drinks, and matcha-forward lattes.
Our ceremonial matcha is single-cultivar Yabukita from Hon-Yama, Shizuoka, made from first-harvest tencha and bead-milled in Japan. Home drinkers can choose 30g or 50g organic formats. Cafés and hospitality teams can buy the non-organic 500g wholesale bag.
