Matcha Japanese Tea

Our First Harvest Matcha is a special kind of tea that grows under double cover and brings fresher, more vibrant tea with lots of nutrients. It doesn't get much sunlight as 95% of sunlight gets blocked. Because of this, the leaves are stronger and have a sweet flavor than regular tea.

Sourced directly from Kagoshima Prefecture, located in the southernmost part of Japan renowned for its mild and warm climate, which results in higher sunlight intensity ideal for tea cultivation, our Matcha undergoes meticulous steps from plucking to grinding. This precise process yields a fine 60-mesh texture, distinguishing it from others and offering you a moment of bliss on the go.

We hand-pick our Matcha tea leaves in the early mornings of spring when they have the best flavor and essential oils. Then, we quickly steam them, delicately dry them, and grind them into a fine powder, making our ceremonial matcha exceptionally pure and refreshing.

Green tea and Matcha green tea both come from the Camellia Sinensis plant and are considered superfoods with varied health benefits. Both of them have different flavors, textures, colors, and preparation methods. Green tea and matcha tea are grown differently. Green tea is grown in sunlight, while matcha tea is shaded for three weeks before harvesting. Green tea is harvested using machines and taken to a processing plant for steaming to halt fermentation. Matcha tea, on the other hand, involves hand-picking the best green tea leaves, removing stems and veins, and grinding them into powder. With just one cup, Matcha provides the same benefits as drinking ten cups of regular Green Tea
