抹茶

Hand picked leaves are steamed, cut, and stone ground to produce a fine powdered green tea. Whisked in a bowl of hot water, Matcha is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony. This premium grade Matcha is ideal for any level of tea ceremony and is delicious enough for an everyday cup of green tea.

We store all our matcha sealed in our Matcha Freezer, so it arrives to you fresh.

Now available in 50g bag to refill your tin! (fresh 2023 harvest)

Some Notes Concerning Matcha:

It the full leaf of the plant, made into green tea, and stone-ground into a fine powder. Unlike all our other teas, you drink/eat the leaf! This makes it that much more important to know where your matcha comes from. All our lower priced Matcha teas are certified Organic to give added assurance of quality. Higher grade matcha may not be certified organic, but has been grown and processed with the strictest standards.

Grading:

We offer various price-points depending on your matcha needs. In general, the higher the price, the smoother, less bitter, and brighter green the matcha is.

If you’re looking to make it hot, we recommend sticking with: Matcha Standard, Matcha Izumi, or Matcha Yuuwa

For Cooking, Iced, or Smoothies, we recommend: Matcha Standard, Organic Grade 2, or Organic Grade 3

Making Matcha:

In general, a little goes a long way. No matter how your making it, the following is a rough guide:

For making it Hot, 1 tsp per 2-3oz hot water. There’s no better way than using a chasen, or bamboo whisk. Choose from our Master Crafted Japanese Chasen, or value (and works great) bamboo whisk.
