rocky's matcha Tin Guide is meant to provide you with a breakdown of the different varieties of matcha we offer along with what to expect in regards to taste, aroma, and color.

Please note, we partner with different tea farmers and producers to create unique Offerings under each one of these classifications.

We believe the best and most enjoyable way to find the matcha for you is to simply experience them for yourself.

 

Blue Tin

Class: Ceremonial Blend Matcha

Key notes: Blended matcha is made with grounded tea leaves from multiple cultivars, offering a balanced and consistent taste. Its rich aroma and color is accompanied by a smooth mouthfeel that finishes with sweet yet savory notes.

Recommended for: Everybody. We encourage all matcha drinkers-whether it's an everyday ritual or your first sip-to enjoy our ceremonial grade blends.

Silver Tin

Class: Single Cultivar Matcha

Key notes: Single cultivar matcha is derived from a single varietal of tea plant from a region specializing in this slower but fruitful harvesting process. It typically features a robust, umami taste with a similarly rich aroma, though each individual plant offers distinctive elements. No two single cultivars are alike, with each uniquely influenced by the care and consideration of the tea producer.

Recommended for: Matcha connoisseurs and adventurous enthusiasts.

Ideal for taste testing and discovering the wide breadth of taste profiles that matcha can offer.

 

White Tin

Class: Organic Matcha

Key notes: Organic matcha is harvested and produced without the use of any synthetics, achieving the most natural taste possible. Organic matcha typically contains a distinctive, earthy taste and finish compared to conventionally sourced matcha.

Recommended for: Conscious enthusiasts and matcha connoisseurs. Its unique taste profile results in pure and sometimes surprising sips with a subtle bite.

 

Brown Tin

Class: Houjicha Matcha

Key notes: Houjicha matcha is produced with immensely high heat, resulting in a roasted flavor and smokey finish. It often possesses a satisfying sweetness and nutty taste profile when compared to more vegetal matcha.

Recommended for: Everyday enthusiasts and casual matcha drinkers.

Houjicha contains less caffeine and less earthiness than most matcha, making it ideal for those who partake daily or simply enjoy a subtle taste.
