Don’t let the name fool you—our Culinary Grade Matcha is a powerhouse of flavor. Sourced from later harvests (second or third flush), these leaves have had more exposure to sunlight, resulting in higher catechin levels and a stronger, more astringent taste. This is intentional: a delicate ceremonial matcha would disappear in a cake, but our Culinary Grade cuts through flour, sugar, butter, and heat to deliver that signature green tea taste and color to your baked goods.

• Flavor Profile: Bold, robust, and distinctively bitter-sweet. Strong green tea notes that stand up to other ingredients.
• Color: Muted, olive green.
• Best For: Baking (cookies, cakes, muffins), ice creams, frostings, and savory sauces.
