If you're new to matcha or prefer milder flavors, our Ceremonial Blend offers sweet, delicate, and creamy notes. Sourced from Kagoshima, this blend provides a gentle introduction to the world of premium matcha without any overwhelming bitterness. A "blend" means the leaves are sourced from multiple farms and different cultivars.Â
