MATCHA $1,000 per Kg – WOW! The Most Expensive Matcha in the AKI MATCHA Collection 2024

Understanding Matcha Grades

To appreciate the most expensive matcha, it’s essential to understand the different grades of matcha. Matcha is typically categorized into three main grades:

 

 

1. Ceremonial Grade: This is the highest quality matcha, used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. It is made from the youngest tea leaves, which are carefully cultivated and harvested. The result is a vibrant green color, a smooth texture, and a rich, umami flavor. Ceremonial grade matcha is meant to be enjoyed on its own, whisked with water to create a frothy, delightful beverage.

2. Premium Grade (For Barista): Slightly lower in quality than ceremonial grade, premium grade matcha is still excellent and often used for daily consumption. It is slightly more affordable and can be used in smoothies, lattes, and other beverages while still delivering a high quality matcha experience.

 

 

 

3. Culinary Grade: The most economical option, culinary grade matcha is suitable for cooking and baking. While it may be less vibrant and slightly bitter, it’s still packed with antioxidants and can be used in various Matcha recipes.

Why Is Matcha Expensive?

The price of matcha can vary widely, but the most expensive matcha, such as the one in the AKI MATCHA Collection, commands a high price for several reasons:

Labor-Intensive Production: The cultivation and production of high-quality matcha involve intensive labor. The tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvest, necessitating careful monitoring and maintenance. 

Hand-Picked Leaves: The leaves used for the most expensive matcha are hand-picked to ensure only the youngest, most tender leaves are used.

Stone Grinding: Traditional stone grinding is used to produce the finest matcha powder. This process is slow and meticulous, taking about an hour to produce just 20 grams of matcha.

Limited Supply: The most expensive matcha is produced in limited quantities, adding to its exclusivity and desirability.
