Ceremonial vs Organic: How to Choose the Right Matcha for You

Hey Sanrae! 

If matcha is part of your daily ritual—or you’re thinking of making the switch—you already know how powerful this vibrant green powder can be for energy, metabolism, and calm focus. But not all matcha is created equal. With so many options out there, how do you choose the best one?

Here are five simple tips to help you find matcha that truly delivers on quality, taste, and wellness benefits.

1. Check the Source

Where your matcha is grown matters. The best matcha comes from regions with mineral-rich soil, clean air, and time-honoured growing traditions. That’s why both our SANA Organic and Ceremonial Grade Matcha are sourced from Shizuoka, Japan, where matcha has been cultivated for centuries in pristine conditions near Mount Fuji.

2. Understand the Grade: Ceremonial vs Organic

At SANRAE, we offer two premium types of matcha—and both serve a beautiful purpose.

• SANA Ceremonial Grade Matcha:
  Our highest grade matcha, made from the youngest, shade-grown tea leaves. It’s incredibly smooth, vibrant in colour, and naturally sweet with no bitterness. This is your go-to for a traditional matcha moment—perfect for slow, mindful sipping with just water. Think: tea ceremony energy, every day.

• SANA Organic Japanese Matcha:
  A nutrient-rich, certified organic option that’s perfect for lattes, smoothies, or daily wellness rituals. It’s still high quality and delicious, with a slightly stronger flavour—great for blending while still delivering that calm, sustained energy matcha is known for.

3. Choose Organic for Everyday Use

If you're drinking matcha regularly, choosing an organic option like our SANA Organic Matcha ensures you're avoiding pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. It’s better for your body—and the planet.

4. Look for Bright, Vivid Green Colour

High-quality matcha should have a bold, rich green hue. This means it's fresh, full of antioxidants, and properly shade-grown. If it's dull, yellowish, or brown, it's likely lower quality or oxidised.

5. Check the Texture and Ingredients

Matcha should feel ultra-fine and silky. No grittiness. No additives. Just one pure ingredient: 100% matcha green tea powder. At SANRAE, we never add sugar, flavours, or fillers—because you deserve the real thing.

Which Matcha Is Right for You?

✨ Go with Ceremonial Grade if you're sipping it straight, love a smooth and delicate flavour, or want a special moment of calm.

✨ Choose Organic Matcha if you're making a morning latte, adding it to your smoothie, or want a nutrient-packed, budget-friendly daily boost.

Either way, both blends support energy, focus, metabolism, and glowing skin—so you can't go wrong.
