Ceremonial matcha from Kagoshima is a premium green tea produced from shade-grown cultivars Saemidori, Okumidori, Asanoka, stone-milled meticulously to a fine texture.  Matcha is taken from younger leaves of the tea plant, the ‘ichibancha,’ in Japanese or as we know it, the First Flush.  Shade grown conditions offer exceptionally high concentration of chlorophyll and amino acids, giving this tea its verdant, green colour. Matcha is high in antioxidants, and equally as prominent in caffeine content.  The perfect morning beverage, with slow releasing caffeine to keep you going. This is matcha at its peak. 

A little goes a long way to perform that Matcha magic. Head to our brew guide for all you need to know.

Region & Growing Info

Japan

Japan is famous for its high-quality green teas like Sencha, Gyokuro, and Matcha. Grown primarily in Shizuoka, Kagoshima, and Uji, these teas are known for their fresh, vegetal, and umami-rich flavours. Gyokuro is shade grown, offering a deep, sweet profile, while Sencha’s tend to have a bright, grassy taste. Matcha, a powdered green tea, is used in traditional ceremonies and has an intense, creamy flavour.

Japan's unique steaming process preserves the verdant, green colour of its teas. In addition to traditional green teas, Japan also produces Genmaicha (green tea with roasted rice). Genmaicha has a nutty, toasty flavour and is often consumed daily.
