Organic Matcha Tea • High grade & Legendary

What is Matcha tea?

Matcha is a cherished and vibrant green tea powder that embodies a rich history of tradition and a wealth of health benefits. Originating in ancient Japan, Matcha is meticulously crafted from shade-grown green tea leaves, selected for their tenderness and vibrant color.

Unlike regular steeped tea, where the leaves are discarded after brewing, Matcha celebrates the essence of the whole leaf. After harvesting, the leaves are carefully ground into a fine, velvety powder, preserving their potent nutrients and antioxidants.

Matcha’s unique preparation and consumption invite a deeply immersive experience. The finely powdered tea is traditionally whisked into hot water with a bamboo brush, resulting in a frothy, emerald-hued elixir. Its distinct taste balances an earthy, slightly sweet flavor with a gentle bitterness, offering a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.
