Our organic culinary (or cooking) grade of Matcha is made specifically for use in smoothies, lattes, baking or any recipe calling for Matcha. This excellent quality culinary grade Matcha has a slightly stronger flavor than our ceremonial grade, so the Matcha flavor can shine even when mixed with other ingredients. This grade is best when used as an ingredient in Matcha beverages or desserts (it is not as well suited as a drink on its own).
