Glad you asked. Matcha is a finely ground powder made from shade grown green tea leaves originating from ancient Japanese culture. It has a vibrant green color, umami, smooth taste with a lingering sweetness and can be made into a variety of delicious drinks or pastries.

Short version: Green tea for matcha is cultivated in the shade. The tea leaves are dried, de-veined, and de-stemmed. Dried leaves are ground into bright green matcha powder.

For those of you that want to dig deeper into the art of Matcha Making go to the Long Version.

From the one and only place to get Matcha: Japan. To be more concrete: Uji, Japan. It's well known for their long tradition of Matcha farming.

It's in our name: we only sell quality ceremonial grade Matcha. You can tell by the color of Matcha if it's good or bad Matcha. If it's vibrant green: you got the good stuff. If it's yellowish or even brown, ew that can't be good. Stay away.

Yes! Our Matcha is organic certified after EU, Swiss and JAS (Japan) regulations. The health of our farmers and customers is important to us so we only sell pesticide-free, purely organic Matcha.

Always keep your Pouch sealed. Keep it in cool and dry conditions. That way your Matcha stays fresh the longest!

Simple:

1. add 1 Teaspoon of Matcha into a bowl
2. mix around 1/4 cup hot (80°C, not boiling!) water into the bowl
3. now whisk or shake until a froth forms (10-20 seconds)
4. either enjoy your Matcha straight up (add more hot water) or make it into a Latte by adding 3/4 cups of warm milk of your choice

Nope. No sugar in this bad boy! You may add your favorite sweetener to your Latte later if you have a sweet tooth. (honey anyone?)
