Most ceremonial matcha is a blend. Ours is not. Single cultivar means a consistent, recognisable cup every time. The kind of consistency a cafe needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for cafes and daily drinkers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500g is around 250 serves at 2g per cup. A month or two of daily lattes at home. Roughly two weeks of service at a small cafe. Lower cost per gram than our 100g pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy organic matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than 5% of tea farms in Japan are certified organic. They sit high on ridges and mountaintops, separated from conventional fields so rain does not carry pesticides into the soil. Harder to grow, more expensive to produce, far less common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe chose organic because matcha is different from other teas. You drink the whole leaf, ground to a fine powder. Nothing is steeped and discarded. What goes into the soil goes into you. Every batch is \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aco.net.au\/Pages\/Operators\/JapanStandards.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJAS certified\u003c\/a\u003e organic. Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. Lab tested for pesticides and radiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWays to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhisk traditionally with hot water. Blend it into a latte. Shake it over ice. Holds up well in smoothie bowls, baking and recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sipspa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882500677785,"sku":"SP-MC-CER500","price":366.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/3912\/2841\/files\/1_558ece05-db28-4f46-b78e-f3a7cd1ddfd3.png?v=1781265850","url":"https:\/\/sipspa.com.au\/products\/ceremonial-grade-matcha-500g","provider":"Sipspa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
