Ceremonial, premium or culinary matcha: which one should you buy?
Maison Genkai1 min read
The right matcha depends on the preparation, not on the most expensive label. Maison Genkai’s current range gives a clear answer: choose Ceremonial 50g (CHF 39.90) for drinking with water, High Ceremonial 50g (CHF 49.90) for a more demanding pure tasting, and Premium 50g (CHF 29.90) for daily lattes.
| Use | Recommended grade | Why | Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water preparation | Ceremonial | First-harvest Yame matcha with umami and creamy texture. | CHF 39.90 / 50g; about CHF 1.60 at 2g. |
| Premium pure tasting or gift | High Ceremonial | Maison Genkai’s most exclusive, umami-forward selection. | CHF 49.90 / 50g; about CHF 2.00 at 2g. |
| Latte or everyday use | Premium | Its mild, subtly sweet profile is designed for lattes and daily drinking. | CHF 29.90 / 50g; about CHF 1.20 at 2g. |
| Baking, cold drinks or regular café service | Professional Standard | Maison Genkai does not sell a retail product labelled culinary; its real 500g Standard is designed for culinary use. | CHF 139.90 / 500g; about CHF 0.56 at 2g. |
Use Ceremonial when water is the centre of the recipe; use Premium when milk is involved; use Professional Standard when volume and culinary use matter. The per-serving figures are simple calculations based on a 2g dose.
