Matcha

Matcha, often referred to as the 'espresso of tea,' contains a noteworthy level of caffeine, as well as a compound called L-theanine, which is thought to attribute to the lack of crash in energy levels that can follow coffee consumption.

Unique Varieties of Matcha Green Tea

We are proud to offer organic matcha, direct from Japan, and connect individuals with unique, single-cultivar and blended matchas. With its high caffeine content, artful preparation and delicate flavor and aroma, matcha has quickly become a favorite of tea-drinkers around the world, finding itself a staple in many specialty cafes in North America. Enjoyed in many different preparations, from traditional hand-whisked to specialty matcha lattes, there is a whole world of Japanese matcha flavor profiles to explore, and if you’re just beginning, don’t forget your matcha tea set!

How to Prepare Matcha 

Due to its uniquely powdered form, matcha requires a particular preparation process to enjoy properly. We suggest adding 2.5 ounces of under-boiling water (160ºF) to 1 teaspoon (~2 grams) of sifted matcha powder, whisking the mixture for 15 to 20 seconds. The whisking should alternate between a circular and side-to-side motion, after which the mixture should become pale green, frothy and light. To this mixture, you can add hot water for a traditional Japanese tea, or add steamed milk and sweeteners for a more modern latte.
