Who is Jade Leaf Matcha?
Jade Leaf Matcha is a Japanese matcha brand sourcing organic tea from Uji, Kyoto and Kagoshima. Its ceremonial grade uses first-harvest leaves for smooth, lightly nutty, floral matcha, while culinary grade uses second-harvest leaves for bolder earthy umami.
Matcha includes Okumidori, Samidori, Yabukita, and Kanayamidori cultivars, selected for distinct sweetness, umami, aroma, and texture. Brand draws on Kizuna Tea Collective family farms, supplying Japan since 1858, and uses independent lab testing for heavy metals, pesticides, and radiation.
First-harvest organic ceremonial matcha blended for teas and lattes
Jade Leaf Organic Ceremonial Barista Matcha is a USDA Organic Japanese matcha made from a blend of first-harvest tea leaves. The Barista Edition is intended for matcha teas and lattes, with four currently available formats ranging from a 30g tin to a 1lb bulk option.
What is in the first-harvest cultivar blend?
This ceremonial matcha combines three named tea cultivars: Okumidori, Komakage, and Yabukita. The leaves come from the first harvest and are presented as a farm-direct Japanese matcha. The blend contains naturally occurring caffeine and L-theanine, as well as antioxidants.
The product carries USDA Organic status. Its listed dietary attributes are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. These specifications make the composition and production claims easier to compare with other matcha products, without relying on broad quality labels alone.
Is the Barista Edition intended for lattes?
Yes. This edition is intended for both matcha teas and lattes. Its Barista Edition name distinguishes it within the Jade Leaf range, while the ceremonial designation and first-harvest blend identify the grade and harvest information supplied for this product.
No product-specific tasting notes or preparation ratios are provided, so the supported distinctions are its intended uses, harvest, cultivar blend, Japanese provenance, organic status, and dietary attributes.
