First- and second-harvest matcha blend for creamy non-bitter lattes

Ujido Ceremonial and Culinary Grade Matcha Blend combines first- and second-harvest matcha grown in Japan. Its velvety, rich, creamy profile is intended for matcha lattes and other matcha creations, with enough flavor to remain noticeable when mixed with milk.

How does Ujido Ceremonial Blend Matcha taste?

This shade-grown matcha has a rich, creamy character without bitterness. It is not intended to taste subtle, making it suited to preparations that combine matcha with milk and sweetener. The velvety profile also works across other matcha creations where a pronounced matcha taste is wanted.

What is in the first- and second-harvest blend?

The blend combines two stated grades and harvest periods rather than using a single grade throughout:

  • 80% ceremonial grade: Made with first-harvest matcha.
  • 20% high culinary grade: Made with second-harvest matcha.
  • Provenance: The tea leaves are grown in Japan.
  • Growing method: The matcha is shade-grown.
  • Dietary attributes: Gluten-free, keto, and non-GMO.

The matcha contains antioxidants, catechins, EGCG, and L-theanine. Each serving also contains 30–45 mg of natural caffeine. These specifications describe the product without assigning medical or performance outcomes to its compounds or caffeine content.

How do you use this matcha in a latte?

For a matcha latte, mix the powder into a preferred milk and sweeten to taste. Its creamy, non-bitter profile is intended to carry through the milk rather than become too subtle. The same blend can be used in other matcha creations, including desserts and savory preparations.

Ujido Ceremonial Blend Matcha is offered in two formats: 2 oz and 4 oz. Both contain the same 80% ceremonial grade and 20% high culinary grade blend, allowing buyers to select the listed size that fits their needs.
