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 ceremonial matcha for high-quality beverages

Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Ceremonial Teahouse Edition is a USDA Organic Japanese matcha made with first-harvest tea leaves. The ceremonial blend combines five named cultivars and is crafted for high-quality matcha beverages. It is also identified as farm-direct, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

What distinguishes this ceremonial matcha blend?

The Teahouse Edition uses a blend of first-harvest leaves rather than presenting a single-cultivar matcha. Its five-cultivar composition brings together Okumidori, Kanayamidori, Sayamakaori, Samidori, and Yabukita. The product is positioned specifically as ceremonial matcha for beverages.

  • Grade: Ceremonial matcha
  • Harvest: First harvest
  • Certification: USDA Organic
  • Provenance: Japanese matcha and farm-direct
  • Dietary labels: Vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free

The matcha also contains antioxidants, along with naturally occurring caffeine and L-theanine. No serving-level amounts are specified in the product details.

Which Japanese tea cultivars are included?

This matcha combines Okumidori, Kanayamidori, Sayamakaori, Samidori, and Yabukita. These are presented as the tea cultivars used in the ceremonial first-harvest blend. Buyers looking for a multi-cultivar matcha can compare this composition with single-cultivar products or blends that use a different set of teas.

The product is identified as Japanese matcha and farm-direct. Its USDA Organic status supplies a specific organic certification rather than a general organic description.

What is the Teahouse Edition made for?

The Teahouse Edition is crafted for high-quality matcha beverages. The product details do not specify a whisking ratio, water temperature, or separate preparation method, so the supported use remains broad rather than tied to one recipe or serving style.

Both a one-time purchase and subscription option are listed. The subscription information establishes the availability of that purchase format but does not specify a delivery schedule or other subscription terms.

Choose this Jade Leaf Matcha edition for its ceremonial grade, first-harvest blend, five named cultivars, USDA Organic certification, and beverage-focused use.
