we specialize in premium-grade matcha powder sourced from carefully selected tea farms in China—a region with a long and rich history of green tea cultivation. For us, matcha isn’t just about the grade—it’s about the right harvest, the right process, the right craftsmanship, and the right price.

 

Understanding Matcha Grades

Matcha generally falls into three primary grades, each defined by harvest time, leaf quality, and intended use:

1. Ceremonial Grade

Harvested: Early spring (April) – First flush

Use: Traditional tea ceremony; best enjoyed plain

Features: Vibrant green color, fine texture, delicate umami flavor

Note: Most expensive due to early harvest and intensive hand processing

2. Premium Grade (Matchabaik’s Specialty)

Harvested: Late spring (May) – Second flush

Use: Ideal for daily drinking, lattes, wellness drinks, or culinary use where flavor still matters

Features: Rich green color, balanced umami, smooth taste with mild bitterness, high in nutrients

Value: When processed with care, premium grade can rival ceremonial matcha at a more accessible price

3. Culinary/Bakery Grade

Harvested: Late spring to summer – Third flush and beyond

Use: Baking, smoothies, or commercial applications

Features: Duller green, more astringent, stronger flavor to stand up in recipes

Matcha Harvest & Processing

Matcha is only harvested during specific months (mainly April–May), and its quality depends heavily on careful post-harvest steps:

Shade-grown for 3–4 weeks before harvest to increase chlorophyll and L-theanine

Hand-picked or machine-harvested, depending on grade and region

Steamed immediately to stop oxidation

Air-dried and de-stemmed to produce tencha

Stone-ground in low heat to preserve nutrients, aroma, and vibrant color

At Matchabaik, we ensure our premium grade matcha is processed with the same care as ceremonial matcha, giving you a smooth, rich, and flavorful experience—perfect for modern lifestyles.
