Shade-grown, handpicked and stone-ground in Kyushu, Japan. A vivid, deep green with a fresh, naturally sweet aroma. The flavour is light-bodied and smooth, with a creamy mouthfeel and no bitterness.

We chose this matcha for its clean, fresh profile. Where some ceremonial matchas carry a strong umami or seaweedy note, ours opens with sweetness and finishes smooth.

Why organic matters

Less than 5% of tea farms in Japan are certified organic. Organic farms need to sit high on ridges and mountaintops, separated from conventional fields so rain does not carry pesticides into their soil. It is harder to grow, more expensive to produce and far less common.

We chose organic because matcha is different from other teas. You drink the whole leaf, ground to a fine powder. Nothing is steeped and discarded. What goes into the soil goes into you. Every batch is JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) certified organic. Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. Lab-tested for pesticides and radiation.

What you get

A 30g tin, air-tight sealed to preserve colour and flavour. Around 15 servings, depending on how you like your matcha. Store in the fridge once opened.

Ways to enjoy

Whisk it traditionally with hot water, blend it into a latte or shake it over ice. Works well in smoothie bowls and baking too.

Frequently asked questions about this matcha

Is this matcha organic?
Yes. Every batch is JAS certified organic and lab-tested for pesticides and radiation.

Where is the matcha from?
Kyushu, in southern Japan. Shade-grown, handpicked, and stone-ground.

Is this first harvest matcha?
Yes. Our ceremonial matcha is made from the first harvest, picked in spring.

Can I make a latte with this?
Yes. Ceremonial is smoother and sweeter, which makes a more delicate latte. Many of our customers choose ceremonial for lattes.

How long does the matcha stay fresh after opening?
Matcha begins to oxidise as soon as you open it, so freshness depends on how you store it. Kept sealed, cold, and away from light, an opened tin holds its colour, aroma, and clean flavour comfortably for two to three months. After that it does not spoil. It simply softens in colour and aroma over time. A small tip: let the tin come back to room temperature before opening it each time. That stops condensation from forming inside.

How should I store it?
Sealed, cold, and out of light. The fridge is ideal once opened.
