Unlike regular tea, you consume the entire leaf with matcha – giving you full access to antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients. That's why it's important that matcha is 100% free from chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha quality can vary greatly – from basic culinary grade to premium ceremonial grade. The best matcha is bright green, creamy in texture, smooth in taste, and rich in umami – without any bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eClearly Ceremonial Matcha is of the highest quality and comes from a unique organic environment in Kagoshima, Japan. The tea plants grow in volcanic soil, free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Even surrounding farms are fully organic, ensuring your matcha is completely clean and pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Benefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e100% pure: Completely free from pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCeremonial grade: Made only from the youngest leaves of the first harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect taste: Smooth, creamy, and rich in umami – no bitterness\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMore nutrients: Plants grow for 2 extra years for more depth\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCaffeine boost: 104 mg per stick for natural energy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFocus \u0026amp; calm: 80 mg L-theanine per stick for balance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAlways fresh: 2 g sticks protect against light, air, and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Clearly Matcha\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eClearly Ceremonial Matcha can be prepared in multiple ways – traditional, quick, or as a latte:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWarm your bamboo whisk (chasen) in hot water\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSift 1 stick (2 g) into a dry matcha bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 60 ml water at 80–90°C (not boiling)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk in an M or Z motion until foam appears\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick \u0026amp; Easy\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePour 1 stick into a shaker or glass\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 60 ml warm water (80–90°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eShake or stir until fully dissolved\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMatcha Latte\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare matcha using one of the methods above\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdd warm or plant-based milk\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFor an iced latte: add ice cubes before the milk and matcha\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOptionally sweeten with honey or syrup\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does It Taste Like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha is often described as grassy, but flavor depends heavily on quality. Low-grade matcha tastes bitter and harsh, while Clearly Ceremonial Matcha is creamy, soft, and rich in umami – with a hint of natural sweetness. Its taste is shaped by the climate, soil, and drying process – and Clearly Matcha nails that balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Sticks?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha is sensitive to oxygen, light, and moisture.

Our 2 g sticks protect the matcha from degradation – always fresh, perfectly dosed, and travel-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes Matcha So Healthy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha is packed with nutrients that support your health. It's rich in antioxidants like EGCG, which protect your cells from free radicals. L-theanine promotes calm and focus, and in combination with caffeine, it offers a clean energy boost – without coffee’s jitters. A perfect fit for a healthy lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does Ceremonial Grade Mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCeremonial grade is the highest quality of matcha. It’s made from the youngest leaves of the first harvest – rich in nutrients and naturally sweet. These leaves are handpicked and stone-ground into a vibrant green powder with deep umami and minimal bitterness. Ceremonial matcha is meant to be enjoyed pure – as in Japanese tea ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clearly","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":51544209195346,"sku":"HS-10136","price":26.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7510\/3058\/files\/clearly-matcha-20-sticks.477902349.png?v=1758116568","url":"https:\/\/www.novusfumus.nl\/en-gb\/products\/clearly-matcha-20-sticks","provider":"Novus Fumus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
