What is Matcha?

What is matcha and why is it different from regular green tea?

Matcha is made from finely grounded green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, where you throw away the leaves after brewing, with Matcha you consume the entire tea leaf and all its goodness.

About our matcha

Coming right from the heart of the magical Shizuoka prefecture in Japan’s Tenryu Region. Our matcha is harvested by expert farmers, it’s made from shade-grown leaves that have been stone ground, deveined and packed right at the source to preserve the subtle vegetal notes while leaving a lingering sweetness in your mouth.

Matcha Benefits

Why is matcha good for you and what are matcha benefits? Did you know that matcha is the yummiest way to promote good health?
