A matcha guide: from ceremonial grade to café menus

A matcha guide: from ceremonial grade to café menus

Matcha is graded by quality. Ceremonial grades suit hot ceremonial preparations, while everyday grades work well for milk-based drinks and recipes.

Grades

Ceremonial grades are more vivid green and smooth. AAAAA–AA blends give a bright, economical result in lattes and drinks.

Café use

Whisk about 2 g of matcha with a little hot water per serving, then finish with milk or ice.
