Matcha
Matcha is a fine green tea powder traditionally ground on granite millstones and used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Essentially ground tencha (a steamed and intensely shaded green tea), matcha is very rich in umami, chlorophyll and caffeine and is considered a superfood: consuming the whole tea leaf allows for the complete absorption of all the valuable compounds inside, such as catechins and amino acids.
Premium Grade
Our Premium Grade Matcha is grown by our partner farmers according to strict organic standards and shaded for two weeks or longer. This results in a pleasant umami flavour, a high chlorophyll content, and a pronounced sweetness accompanied by a delicate, refined bitterness. Our Premium Grade Matcha is the ideal choice for regular matcha enjoyment and also perfectly suited for preparing matcha lattes.
Super Premium Grade
Elaborately cultivated matcha from the top terroirs of Uji, Hoshino, Aichi and the misty mountains of Kirishima. Ground on traditional granite millstones, long and carefully shaded, produced using cultivars especially suited for matcha – simply exceptional.

Chawan - Matcha Bowls
Whip up a bowl of Matcha in an authentic Chawan from Japan. Also known as Matchawan, these bowls are the centrepiece of the Japanese tea ceremony and are equally essential for any Matcha lover to enjoy this precious tea at home. Each Chawan is handcrafted and sourced from historic ceramic centres across Japan, showcasing a wide range of traditional shapes and regional styles.
Chasen - Matcha Whisks
Hand-carved from a single piece of flexible yet robust bamboo, the Chasen whisk is used to blend powdered Matcha with hot water. Chasen with 80 to 120 tines are suitable for regular, frothy Matcha tea, also known as Usucha, while those with 60 to 80 tines are used to prepare thick Koicha tea, as served during formal Japanese tea ceremonies.
Chashaku - Bamboo Spoons
Carved by hand from bamboo or wood, Chashaku are an essential tool for measuring and scooping out Matcha during the Japanese tea ceremony, as well as for everyday drinking.
Furui - Matcha Sifters
Whether whipping up a bowl of tea, or mixing Matcha into baked goods, smoothies or shakes, a fine mesh Matcha Furui or sifter will remove any small lumps and help unfold the aroma for the smoothest result.

Natsume - Matcha Containers
The natsume caddy is used during the Japanese tea ceremony to store matcha before it is whisked into thin Usucha tea. Our selection of natsume ranges from everyday models perfect for Okeiko lessons, through to exquisite Urushi masterpieces that make for treasured Chadogu.
