The traditional Japanese tea ceremony centers on the preparation,
serving and drinking of matcha as hot tea, and embodies a meditative
spirituality. In modern times, matcha is also used to flavor and dye
foods, such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream, matcha
lattes and a variety of Japanese wagashi confectionery.
Matcha used in ceremonies is referred to as ceremonial-grade, meaning that the powder is of a high enough quality to be used in the tea ceremony. Lower-quality matcha is referred to as culinary-grade, but no standard industry definition or requirements exist for matcha.
