Elevating Your Matcha Experience

Our mission revolves around enhancing your enjoyment of matcha. With a selection of seven distinct varieties, we cater to various taste preferences and price ranges.

That’s why we are committed to delivering the best quality matcha at every price point.

The Diversity of Flavor

One of the most fascinating aspects of matcha is its remarkable range of flavors that can stretch from sweet and nutty to savory and sophisticated. This diversity arises from varying tea leaves and cultivation techniques, presenting countless possibilities for aficionados and newcomers alike.

Our Journey Begins

Our journey started with a single type of matcha, but today we collaborate with an extensive network of tea growers and manufacturers throughout Japan. This direct sourcing allows us to provide a collection of seven matcha types.

Expert Recommendations for Matcha Lovers

If you're new to the world of matcha, we recommend starting with our Superior Ceremonial Blend or Organic Ceremonial Blend for a beginner-friendly experience. These options are versatile and great for lattes. For those who have sampled many variations, the Fragrant Yame Blend can provide a delightful tasting experience with its smoothness and sweetness.

Advanced enthusiasts might enjoy our Masters Collection, particularly the Chiran Harvest matcha. For those seeking an energizing afternoon pick-me-up, consider a cold brew. Simply mix matcha with cold water, and enjoy!

Benefits of Consuming Matcha

Matcha offers a unique blend of calm energy without the jitters commonly associated with coffee, largely due to L-theanine, an amino acid present in matcha, combined with caffeine. Additionally, matcha boasts a higher concentration of antioxidants compared to typical green teas, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious individuals.

Understanding Matcha Blends

Our term “blends” reflects our careful selection of shade-grown tea leaves, crafted into a fine powder. The distinctive flavor of matcha results from the expertise of tea masters who select and combine different leaves to highlight specific taste attributes. This process varies by region; for example, Kyoto-style matcha emphasizes balance and umami, while southern regions craft sweeter varieties.

Stress-Free Brewing

Enjoying matcha is simple! For a classic usucha (thin tea), combine 1 tsp of matcha with 3 oz of water heated to 170°F and whisk. Prefer it milder? Increase to 5 oz of water.

For a matcha latte, use 1.5 tsp of matcha in 1 oz of water to form a base, then mix with 6 oz of your favorite milk.

Cold Brew Matcha

Make a refreshing cold brew by mixing 1 tsp of matcha with 6-8 oz of cold water. For an exciting twist, try substituting coconut water for an extra treat.
