Overview
A 40 gram pouch of Classic Grade matcha grown and stone-milled in Uji, Japan, positioned by the brand as an entry point for people new to matcha rather than a top ceremonial powder. Works for lattes, cold brew and traditional usucha.
Kiyo pitches this as a beginner's matcha: a step below its higher grades, priced to match, meant to introduce the umami, bitterness and astringency notes of matcha before someone commits to a pricier tin. The leaves are hand-picked, steamed within a day of harvest and stone-ground in small batches, the same process higher grades use, just with a different leaf selection.
- 40g / 1.41oz first harvest matcha
- Grown and milled in Uji, Japan
- Entry level grade priced for beginners
- Airtight bag plus pull-top screw can
Who it's for
Suits someone trying matcha for the first time or wanting an affordable everyday pouch for lattes and cold brew. A matcha drinker already chasing the most refined ceremonial flavor should look at a higher grade instead.
Pros and cons
- Stone-milled in small batches in Uji, Japan
- Priced for everyday, beginner use
- Versatile across lattes, cold brew and usucha
- Sealed in an airtight bag inside a screw-top can
- 40 gram pouch is a small quantity
- Not the brand's most refined grade
- No review data available to confirm real-world quality
Performance notes
The leaves are shade-grown, hand-picked at first harvest, steamed within a day, air-dried, de-stemmed and stone-milled, the same traditional process used for higher grades. What separates Classic Grade is the leaf selection itself, which the brand says trades some refinement for a lower price and a more forgiving flavor across lattes, cold brew and traditional whisked tea.
