Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Emerald USDA Organic — First-Harvest, Smooth Umami, Bright Green

Midori Spring Organic Ceremonial Matcha Emerald is a first-harvest, shade-grown Japanese matcha that delivers vivid color, a smooth umami profile, and versatile uses from traditional tea to culinary recipes.

Harvested and blended by an experienced tea master, this Emerald-class matcha is a ceremonial-grade powder crafted for both newcomers and seasoned matcha drinkers. It arrives in a food-grade pouch inside a recyclable tin to preserve freshness, and it is certified USDA Organic, Kosher, Vegan, and Whole30 Approved. The powder’s bright green hue and balanced flavor reflect careful shading, hand-picking, and artisanal blending rather than mass processing.

What makes this matcha stand out from other ceremonial grades?

Emerald is a first-harvest matcha that emphasizes a clean, rounded taste rather than a sharp grassy edge. The traditional shading process increases chlorophyll and naturally supports L-theanine production, while expert blending ensures a consistent aroma and texture across batches.

• First-harvest leaves for vibrant color and concentrated flavor
• Shade-grown and hand-picked to preserve leaf quality
• Blended by a tea master with 30+ years of experience for balance
• Sweet aroma with subtle roasted or dried green pepper notes

How can I prepare Midori Spring Emerald for tea or recipes?

Emerald adapts well to both traditional and modern preparations. Whisk it with hot water for a frothy tea, blend into lattes, or fold into baked goods and smoothies for a vivid color and gentle umami. Because it’s versatile, small adjustments to water temperature and powder amount let you customize strength and texture.

• Traditional: 1–2 teaspoons whisked with 70–80°C (158–176°F) water
• Lattes: 1 teaspoon with warmed milk or plant milk, frothed for creaminess
• Culinary: 1–2 tablespoons per batter or batter-based recipes for color and flavor
• Smoothies: 1 teaspoon blended with fruit and liquid for an antioxidant-rich boost

How should I store this matcha to keep it fresh?

Proper storage preserves the powder’s color, aroma, and texture. The product ships in a sealed food-grade pouch inside a recyclable tin; keeping the powder in the tin with the lid closed and stored in a cool, dry place—or refrigerated—reduces oxidation and flavor loss.

• Keep matcha in the supplied tin with the inner pouch sealed after opening
• Store in a cool, dry, dark place or refrigerator for best longevity
• Avoid exposure to heat, light, and moisture which degrade flavor
• Use within a few weeks of opening for the brightest color and aroma

Yes. Midori Spring Emerald meets multiple certifications and undergoes routine testing to align with quality expectations. The labeling supports a range of dietary choices while offering traceability and routine quality checks.

• USDA Organic certified and Kosher certified
• Vegan and Whole30 Approved for inclusive diets
• Routine quality testing to ensure consistency and purity
• Packaged in food-grade materials with recyclable outer tin
