ORIGIN
UJI, JAPAN
Grown in Uji, Japan—one of the oldest and most renowned tea-producing regions-benefits from ideal climate conditions, traditional shade-growing techniques, and expert craftsmanship. The meticulous cultivation and stone-grinding process result in a vibrant green, smooth, and nutrient-rich matcha. Its superior taste make it the gold standard for matcha worldwide.
From the Gokasho area of Uji City, this family run farm's ancestors have been making tea on the same land since the Edo period. Right alongside the Uji River, their tea is harvested by hand once a year—only Spring tea-and steamed, dried, shaped, and gently ground by a traditional stone mill.
Our go to ratio
how to matcha
It takes some time to crave the taste of matcha on its own. Here is my favourite ratio when I do like to add some milk.
1. Set your kettle to 80°C/175°
(if you don't have a temperature controlled kettle, boil water and let it sit for a few minutes)
2. Sift 3g of matcha powder into a Chawan
3. Pour about 2 oz of water into the bowl (enough to cover the powder)
4. Whisk the matcha until the top layer is a nice foam
5. Pour matcha into cup
5. Add 4 oz of water
6. Add a splash of milk (cold or even better from a frother)
This is a nice place to start, then you can experiment on your own to find your favourite recipe!
FAQ
when will I get my order?
Orders are fulfilled in 1-3 business days. Depending on your location, shipping times vary, but orders should arrive within 5 business days after shipment.
how should I store my matcha
We recommend storing opened matcha in a cool dark place (like a pantry) away from heat, light, and humidity.
The next best storage option would be in the fridge, but with caution.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Matcha absorbs moisture and odors easily, so keep it sealed.
- Let it reach room temperature before opening – Condensation can form inside the container if cold matcha is exposed to warm air, affecting quality.
Avoid the Fridge
If frequently used – Taking it in and out can cause condensation and degrade the matcha faster.
f not properly sealed – It can absorb fridge odors, affecting flavor.

If your product is damaged upon arrival, please send us an email with pictures.
Why is good matcha so expensive?
Ceremonial organic matcha is expensive because it's made from the highest-quality, shade-grown young tea leaves, and stone-ground into a fine powder. The process is labor-intensive, production is limited, and organic farming adds extra care and cost—resulting in a vibrant, smooth matcha prized for its flavor, freshness, and purity.
Traditional granite stone mills grind matcha very slowly to prevent heat buildup, which can damage flavour and nutrients.
Each mill produces only about 30–40 grams per hour, just one tin!
