Why Only Ceremonial Matcha?

At ki’en, we serve only the best —first flush, 100% pure, most superior ceremonial-grade matcha. Sourced from the organic fields of Japan,
our matcha is made from the youngest, shade-grown leaves,
stone-ground to preserve its vibrant color, smooth texture, and deep umami. Unlike typical matcha used in cafés,
 even our lattes and all matcha-based beverages are made using first flush ceremonial-grade matcha 
 never blended, never compromised. Because when the matcha is this pure,
 nothing else belongs in the cup.

Why Not Culinary Grade?

Culinary matcha has its place.
 It’s made from older, later-harvest leaves — more bitter, more astringent, and designed to disappear behind sugar or milk. But at ki’en, matcha is never an accessory.
 It’s the centerpiece. That’s why we never dilute it, disguise it, or downgrade it.
 No fillers. No shortcuts. Only first flush,, ceremonial-grade matcha, served with care, craft, and intention — in every sip.
