Matcha translates to ground (ma) and tea (cha) in Japanese. Our organic ceremonial matcha is cultivated in mineral-rich terroir, which gives rise to its luxurious flavour and naturally thick, velvety texture. Harvested from the first spring flush, the tea plants are shade-grown for 20 days before the leaves are plucked to deepen their colour and enhance their nutrient profile. The leaves are carefully de-stemmed and de-veined, then slow stone-ground into an ultra-fine powder of just 10 microns. This exceptional ceremonial-grade matcha embodies all the hallmarks of true excellence, further distinguished by its organic certification.
Matcha production is a laborious task and involves growing and processing methods specifically unique to it. This fine bright green powder is referred for its effect as "quiet alertness" and was once used by monks to help their meditative concentration. Its claims for health benefits are numerous.
