YYCY Uji Matcha is a ceremonial-grade, stone-ground Japanese first-harvest green tea powder delivered fresh from Kyoto for smooth, vibrant matcha drinks and baking.
Harvested from Uji's historic tea fields, this ceremonial grade matcha is made only from tender first-flush leaves, stone-ground to an ultra-fine texture, and certified organic to keep flavor pure. Airshipped within weeks of milling and packaged in a light-blocking airtight tin, the powder keeps its bright jade color and natural umami so you get a consistent cup whether you whisk traditionally, froth for a latte, or fold into recipes.
How does this matcha differ from everyday green tea?
Ceremonial-grade matcha uses the youngest, shaded leaves picked during the first harvest of the season, which concentrate amino acids and color. The stone-grinding process produces a superfine powder that dissolves smoothly and emphasizes natural sweetness rather than tannic bitterness.
- First-harvest leaves for richer umami and aroma
- Stone-ground to an ultra-fine consistency for creamy texture
- JAS-certified organic cultivation—no synthetic pesticides
- Airfreighted and sealed to preserve freshness and color
What’s the best way to prepare a cup so it tastes smooth, not bitter?
Use water heated to about 175°F (80°C) and sift the matcha to avoid clumps; whisk rapidly in an M-shaped motion until a light froth forms. For milk-based lattes, blend the powder with a small amount of hot water first to make a paste, then add frothed milk for even distribution and a silky mouthfeel.
- Heat water to ~175°F (80°C) to maintain flavor balance
- Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha before whisking to prevent clumps
- Whisk briskly in a zigzag pattern to create a fine foam
- For lattes, make a paste first and then combine with steamed milk
Can I use this matcha for baking and smoothies without losing its color or taste?
Yes—ceremonial Uji matcha retains vivid color and nuanced flavor when used in no-bake or low-heat recipes, and it adds a clean vegetal sweetness to smoothies and desserts. For high-heat baking, fold matcha into batters at the end of mixing or reduce oven time slightly to protect its brightness.
- Stir into smoothies for bright color and smooth taste
- Fold into frostings, mousses, and no-bake treats for pure flavor
- When baking, add late in mixing and avoid prolonged high heat
- Use 1–2 teaspoons per serving as a starting guideline
How should I store the tin to keep matcha fresh longest?
The YYCY 30g tin is light-blocking and airtight to slow oxidation; keep it refrigerated after opening for best shelf life and reseal tightly. Store away from heat, moisture, and strong odors to preserve aroma, color, and natural sweetness.
- Keep the tin sealed and refrigerated after opening
- Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and humid places
- Use within a few weeks after opening for peak flavor
- If using infrequently, portion into a smaller airtight container
