Ceremonial, Culinary, or Sweetened? Your Guide to Choosing the Right Matcha

Walking into the world of matcha can be confusing. With terms like "Ceremonial," "Culinary," and "Premixed" floating around, how do you know which one is right for you? At Raw Bites, we believe the right matcha is the one that fits perfectly into your lifestyle. Let's break down the grades and find your perfect match.

The primary difference lies in their intended use, which is dictated by their flavor profile and texture.

• Raw Bites Ceremonial Matcha
  • Purpose: Designed for drinking straight, the traditional way.
  • Taste & Texture: This is our highest grade, stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder. It has a smooth, delicate, and naturally sweet flavor with minimal bitterness. It whisks easily into a beautiful, frothy usucha (thin tea) or a thicker koicha.
  • Best For: Traditional whisking, sipping pure, and moments when you want to fully appreciate matcha's subtle, complex notes.
• Raw Bites Pure Culinary Matcha
  • Purpose: The ultimate chef's companion, crafted specifically for recipes.
  • Taste & Texture: Slightly more robust and bitter than ceremonial grade, which allows its rich, earthy flavor to shine through even when combined with other ingredients.
  • Best For: Lattes, smoothies, baking, cooking, and any creation where matcha is a key flavor component.

Now, let's talk about convenience without compromise. Meet our Raw Bites Premixed Sweetened Matcha.
