Jade Leaf Matcha Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder — 30g Resealable Pouch, USDA Organic & First-Harvest

Jade Leaf Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder is a USDA Organic, first-harvest Japanese matcha sold in a 30 g resealable pouch for daily ceremonial-style teas and lattes.

This finely ground matcha is crafted from early-spring, shade-grown tea leaves (ichibancha) to deliver a vivid green color, naturally sweet umami notes, and a smooth, lightly nutty finish. Packaged in a compact resealable pouch, the 30 g size stretches from about 15 matcha lattes to roughly 30 traditional matcha servings, making it convenient and cost-effective for newcomers and regulars alike.

How do I prepare a classic cup of ceremonial matcha?

Making a traditional matcha shot is simple and fast: whisk ½–1 teaspoon of powder with about 2 ounces of warm water (just under boiling) until frothy, then dilute with hot or cold water or milk for a latte. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small frother for best texture.

• Measure ½–1 tsp Jade Leaf matcha per shot for usucha (thin) or koicha (thicker) styles.
• Use ~2 oz warm water to dissolve and whisk until smooth and frothy.
• Combine with 4–8 oz milk or water for lattes or traditional cups.
• Store opened pouch airtight in the refrigerator to maintain color and flavor.

What makes first-harvest ceremonial matcha different from others?

First-harvest, or ichibancha, means leaves picked in early spring after extended shading, which increases chlorophyll and amino acids like L-theanine. The result is brighter color, a sweeter umami profile, and a refined mouthfeel compared with later harvests.

• Shade-grown for up to four weeks before picking to boost sweetness.
• Harvested early in the season for concentrated flavor and color.
• Finer stone-milling produces a smooth powder ideal for whisking.

How much matcha does this 30 g pouch yield and how does it compare to café cost?

The 30 g pouch yields approximately 15 cafe-style lattes using 1 tsp per drink, or up to 30 traditional light servings with ½ tsp each. That makes each cup substantially more economical than a typical $5+ matcha latte from a café.

• About 15 lattes at 1 tsp per cup, or ~30 traditional servings at ½ tsp.
• Estimated cost per cup around $0.50–$1.00 depending on serving size.
• Compact pouch is travel-friendly and resealable for freshness.

Are there certifications or dietary benefits I should know about?

This Jade Leaf matcha carries USDA Organic certification and is labeled vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, fitting into a wide range of diets. It contains naturally occurring caffeine and L-theanine found in green tea leaves.

• USDA Organic and 100% Japanese matcha from early harvest leaves.
• Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and keto-friendly specifications.
• Stone-ground powder retains color and aroma when stored properly.

Who is this for: Jade Leaf Ceremonial Grade Matcha 30 g is aimed at everyday matcha drinkers, coffee switchers seeking a steady source of alertness, and anyone curious about authentic Japanese ceremonial matcha without committing to a large tin.
