T2 Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a JAS certified organic Japanese green tea powder sourced from Shizuoka, Japan. Made from young tencha leaves, it has a fresh, grassy aroma, a smooth umami body, light natural sweetness, and a clean finish. It is intended as a daily-drinking matcha, served neat or with warm milk.
How is this Shizuoka matcha produced?
The young tencha leaves are shaded for three to four weeks before harvest. After harvesting, the leaves are deveined and ground into a green powder that is whisked directly into water rather than steeped and removed. This preparation method keeps the powdered tea in the finished drink.

What does T2 Ceremonial Grade Matcha taste like?
Once whisked, the matcha has a jade-green appearance. Its aroma is fresh and grassy, while the body is smooth and marked by umami. Light natural sweetness follows, with a clean finish. This combination is presented for regular drinking rather than being reserved for rare occasions.
How should this matcha be whisked?
Use 1/2 teaspoon, around 2 g, for 150 ml of water heated to 80°C or 176°F. Whisk with a chasen, the traditional bamboo matcha whisk, until a fine foam forms. The prepared matcha can be drunk neat. For a latte, pour it through warm milk.
Matcha is whisked rather than steeped, so the powder remains in the cup. Following the stated ratio and water temperature gives buyers a specific starting point for preparing this matcha as intended.
