Imperial Matcha Ceremony Grade 1 – Premium Ceremonial Matcha from Nishio

This is one of our highest qualities of pure matcha! Imperial Matcha Ceremony Grade 1 comes from Nishio, in Japan's Aichi prefecture, where matcha has been grown for centuries. Nishio matcha is renowned all over the world as a tea for the true connoisseur, and this ceremonial grade is a favorite among Japan's tea ceremony instructors for its intense aroma and rich yet delicate taste.

Imperial Matcha Ceremony Grade 1 really is a tea fit for an Emperor. If you want to drink straight matcha and are seeking incredible quality at a reasonable price, this is your choice! We've recently upgraded this matcha, and we're confident you'll love it as much as we do — it's now even smoother and less bitter, at the same excellent value.

Tasting Notes

  • Color: brilliant, vivid green
  • Aroma: intense, fresh and inviting

Why You'll Love It

Ceremonial-grade matcha is made for drinking on its own, and this Nishio matcha delivers exactly what purists look for: depth, smoothness and a beautiful balance of sweetness and umami without harsh bitterness. As a whole-leaf green tea, it offers the full flavor of the entire leaf in every bowl.

  • Rich yet delicate, smooth and less bitter
  • Exceptional quality at a reasonable price

Amazing matcha - gentle, rich, nuanced flavour that lingers for a long time after the cup is finished!
Ordered a couple of other varieties as well, now can’t wait to try them too… but the Imperial will definitely be on repeat order. So far the most delicious matcha I’ve ever tried!

Just love this matcha, it’s smooth and so easy to drink. No bitterness at all! Mixed a bit of Barista Oatmilk for a super creamy and delicious morning drink. My teenager son loves it too!

So far I've tried the Samari and the culinary grade matcha. Imperial is my favorite!
This is a delicious matcha! It smells chocolatey and nutty. Tastes very smooth and creamy whether I whisk it in cold or hot water with great results. I add coconut water and ice after whisking and its perfect! Its a beautiful vibrant green color.
I think its a Canadian secret....keep it away from Matcha Tik Tok????

I'm extremely picky about my tea and I'm impressed by this Imperial Matcha. It's so creamy and sweet. I like it the traditional way just with hot water and respect. I also like Tealyra's simple package, nothing fancy and provide great value to the customers. Thank you Tealyra. will spread the word.
