Matcha per latte
Smooth, vegetal matcha with enough body to carry through milk and ice.






Nio Teas' Matcha Grading System
“Ceremonial grade” isn’t regulated, so we don’t rely on the label alone. We assess every matcha by its taste, farming, processing, color, texture, origin and best use.
Latte
Grade
Built for milk. Smooth and vegetal, with enough body to still taste like matcha through a latte.
Best for: Lattes, iced drinks & smoothies
Entry
Grade
Everyday ceremonial matcha with a bolder, brisker edge. Great value, and it stands up to milk.
Best for: Usucha & Lattes
Premium
Grade
Fifteen ceremonial matcha from first-flush leaf. Deep umami, low astringency, made for whisking.
Best for: Usucha & Koicha
Superior
Grade
Our four rarest single-cultivar matcha. First flush, longest shading, thick enough for koicha.
Best for: Koicha & Usucha
