Made exclusively from the first spring harvest, it combines intense umami with natural sweetness, a rounded [finish](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/finish), and a silky texture. Its emerald-green color and balanced flavor suit buyers looking for a refined matcha that can be prepared traditionally or mixed with milk. ### What does Miyazaki Ceremonial Grade Matcha taste like? This matcha has a rich aromatic profile led by **pronounced umami** and natural sweetness. The finish is especially round, helping the tea retain balance despite its intensity. A fine, silky texture adds to its smooth character, while the bright emerald-green powder gives it a distinctive appearance. These qualities make it suitable for matcha drinkers who prefer strong umami without giving up sweetness. It can also work for buyers who want one ceremonial-grade matcha for both traditional preparation and milk-based drinks. ### How is this first-harvest matcha produced? The tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvest. This process encourages L-theanine production, softens bitterness, and supports the powder’s emerald-green color. Only young leaves from the first spring harvest are used, when the leaves have concentrated aromas and nutrients. After harvesting, the leaves are processed into tencha, the leaf material used to make matcha. Stems and veins are removed so that only the selected leaf portion remains. The tencha is then ground slowly between two stone mills using a traditional Japanese method. This produces an exceptionally fine powder while preserving the tea’s aromatic richness. - **Origin:** Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Japan - **Grade:** Ceremonial - **Harvest:** First spring harvest - **Processing:** Shaded before harvest, processed into tencha, and stone-ground - **Format:** 30 g ### Can Miyazaki matcha be used for lattes? Miyazaki Ceremonial Grade Matcha can be enjoyed in a traditional tea preparation or as a latte, either hot or iced. Oat milk and almond milk pair especially well with its natural sweetness while allowing its rich aroma and pronounced umami to remain present. Buyers who alternate between straight matcha and lattes may find this flexibility useful, since the powder is intended for both styles rather than a single preparation.
