Description
Description
This everyday Japanese Matcha is stone-milled from organically grown green tea leaves, creating a fine, emerald powder perfect for both traditional whisked bowls and modern favourites. Smooth and lively, it offers grassy freshness, gentle umami and a bright green profile that shines in lattes, smoothies, iced drinks and baking.
In Japan, authentic Matcha begins with Tencha, green tea leaves that are steamed, dried and left unrolled to retain their delicate structure. After removing stems and veins, this soft leaf material is stone-milled into a vivid powder. While Tencha for everyday Matcha may differ slightly from ceremonial selections, the traditional transformation from Tencha to Matcha remains at the heart of Japanese tea craft.
Hand-packed in recyclable amber glass jars, this Matcha is protected from light and moisture to preserve its colour, aroma and freshness.

Wellness Tradition
Japanese Tea Culture
Matcha has long been appreciated for the clarity and presence it brings to everyday rituals. Matcha contains natural caffeine and as it uses the whole leaf, it can feel more energising than brewed green tea. It is often described as smoother and more centred than coffee, a traditional perception associated with its natural balance of caffeine and L-theanine.
