Ceremonial Matcha

Ceremonial Matcha – A Morning Ritual, Reimagined

Like the Instant Coffee with Mushroom, this container has a small scoop that can provide 27 cups of Matcha tea a better value than most places for the price. The ceremonial matcha comes from the Matsushita Tea Garden in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka, Japan—a place known for patience, precision, and deep respect for the tea craft. Harvested in the spring from a thoughtful blend of Saemidori and Tsuyuhikari cultivars, the leaves are shade-grown, hand-selected, and stone-milled into an ultra-fine, vibrant emerald powder. The result is a matcha that feels alive—fresh, smooth, and deeply comforting.

From the first sip, the cup opens with a creamy, rounded body. Buttery umami settles in gently, followed by a soft, natural sweetness that lingers without bitterness. It’s refined, balanced, and grounding—the kind of drink that invites you to slow down, even if your day is about to move fast.

For Ed Carter, this matcha has become a meaningful part of his morning routine. Instead of reaching for coffee or mushroom blends, he prepares it simply: hot (not boiling) water, whisked smooth, with a touch of honey. That’s it. The honey rounds out the umami, enhances the natural sweetness, and creates a smooth, steady lift—focused, calm, and clean. It’s the kind of energy that gets you going without the crash or jitters.

How to Enjoy It

There’s no single “right” way to drink ceremonial matcha—only what fits your ritual:

• Traditional Style
  Whisk with hot (not boiling) water until frothy. Enjoy as-is for a pure, grounding experience.

• Ed Carter’s Morning Cup
  Hot water + ceremonial matcha + a drizzle of honey. Smooth, comforting, and perfect as a coffee or mushroom-coffee substitute.

• Matcha Latte (Optional)
  Add warm oat or almond milk for a creamier, slower-sipping version.

• Mindful Midday Reset
  A smaller serving in the afternoon for clarity without overstimulation.

This matcha isn’t meant to be rushed. It’s crafted for intention—for mornings that start with purpose, for pauses between busy moments, and for those who want their daily ritual to feel both nourishing and meaningful.

Refined. Honest. Grounding.
A cup that meets you where you are—and carries you forward.
