Harney & Sons' Unjonotomo Ceremonial Matcha is an extra thick grade matcha tea from Japan, milled into a vivid green powder that whisks into a smooth, umami-rich bowl with a naturally sweet, lingering finish. If you have ever wondered what matcha tea is at its most traditional, this is it: shade-grown leaves, harvested by hand once a year, then air-dried and stone-ground into powder.
Why You'll Love This Harney & Sons Matcha
- Deep, rounded flavor: Rich umami and a silky texture give way to a gentle, naturally sweet finish.
- Made for whisking: The extra thick grade suits the classic method of whisking the powder with hot water into a frothy, full-bodied cup.
- Careful craftsmanship: Grown in the shade along the Uji River, the young leaves are hand-picked once a year, then air-dried and stone-ground in the traditional way.
- Vivid color: Shade cultivation gives this matcha green tea its bright, striking green.
- Versatile in the kitchen: Whisk it the traditional way, or stir it into a matcha latte, a smoothie bowl, or other recipes for a subtle, earthy depth.
- Gift-ready tin: A compact 30 g tin makes a thoughtful present for anyone who loves Japanese tea rituals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Harney & Sons Unjonotomo Ceremonial Matcha have caffeine?
Yes. This is powdered green tea from the Camellia sinensis plant, and caffeine is high. With matcha, you drink the whole ground leaf, so it is best suited to morning or daytime cups.
What is the difference between matcha and green tea, and how does Harney & Sons Unjonotomo Ceremonial Matcha compare?
When it comes to matcha vs green tea, the main difference is how you prepare it. Regular green tea leaves are steeped in water and then removed. Matcha is shade-grown green tea ground into a fine powder that you whisk directly into water or milk, so the whole leaf ends up in your cup. This ceremonial powder is ground finely for traditional whisking and sipping on its own.
Can Harney & Sons Unjonotomo Ceremonial Matcha be prepared cold?
Yes. First mix the powder with a little warm water to dissolve any clumps. Then add cold water or milk and ice for a refreshing iced matcha or iced matcha latte.
