Keiko Matcha, literally "practice matcha," embodies the spirit of keiko (稽古), the devoted, daily pursuit of mastery in the Japanese Way of Tea. Sourced from Kyoto’s famed Uji region, this matcha is made from first-harvest tencha leaves and produced to ceremonial standards, ensuring both full traceability and exceptional quality.
While accessibly priced, Keiko Matcha upholds the finesse and integrity expected of ceremonial-grade matcha. It is widely used by practitioners of the Ueda Sōko tradition during regular tea lessons, reflecting its ideal balance of flavor, color, and ease of whisking.
Originally crafted for daily practice, Keiko Matcha is now also celebrated as one of the finest culinary-grade matcha powders available in the United States—a distinction supported by over a decade of consistent customer satisfaction and Nippon Cha’s trusted reputation.
Versatile and high-performing, Keiko Matcha is ideal for baking, beverages, and desserts. Unlike typical culinary matcha, it is made exclusively from premium first-harvest leaves, an uncommon feature in this category. Each batch is sourced from Uji’s most respected tea growers and carefully selected to meet Nippon Cha’s strict standards for quality and purity.
Tasting Notes
Keiko Matcha captivates with its vibrant green color and a harmonious interplay of sweetness and earthy depth.

Expect a rich umami flavor, paired with creamy sweetness and an elegant grassy finish, making this matcha a standout in any dish or cup.
Keiko Matcha is a testament to Nippon Cha’s commitment to excellence. It is not just a product, but a celebration of the Japanese tea tradition, brought into everyday life with care, intention, and authenticity.
