Thus the highest level "ceremonial" matcha from one producer could actually be inferior to the lowest level matcha from another producer. Below are the key traits to look for in a high quality premium matcha.
PLACE OF ORIGIN:
The best quality matcha are produced in the Uji, Kyoto, Japan region
COLOR:
A high quality matcha has a vibrant and bright green color (see picture above for comparison)
SMELL:
A high quality matcha has a strong and sweet aroma
FEEL:
A high quality matcha will feel more fine and smooth when rubbed between the fingers
MATCHA "GRADE":
In Japan, matcha is not classified as ceremonial or non-ceremonial. Rather matcha is classified as Koicha (thick tea) or Usucha (thin tea). All matcha can be enjoyed as Usucha but only the highest quality teas are suitable for use as Koicha as these are less astringent. For Marukyu Koyamaen matcha, the Koicha starts from Kinrin and up.
DESCRIPTION FOR EACH MATCHA

) "Tea from Heaven":
The finest koicha available. This
handmade
m
atcha is prized at The All-Japan Competitive Tea Exhibition. As koicha, it releases its soft, sweet, delicate flavors slowly, then gives way to a lingering sensation. As usucha, it is ethereal in its lightness, boasting the softest of flavors.
Choan (

)
:  Named for the Chinese city from which tea was first introduced to Japan. As koicha, it is characterized by a fresh grassy character, leading to an intense, lingering, round, full-bodied flavor, leaving you content, delighted, and happy.
As usucha, it is a rich, milky, sweet, and creamy matcha.
Eiju (
永寿
) "Long Life"
:  A top grade koicha with
middling character in flavor. As koicha, it first releases the aroma of roasted peanuts and almonds, then to a pure, lingering, sweet, creamy flavor with a mild vanilla finish. As usucha, it first exudes a spinach-like vegetal flavor, and is a soft and creamy matcha.
