Perfect Everyday Matcha

Crafted from a premium blend of Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars- two of Japan’s most loved tea varieties- this matcha is a beautiful introduction to the world of high-quality Japanese matcha.

Sourced from both the ichibancha (first flush) and nibancha (second flush) harvests in Uji, Japan, it delivers a smooth, balanced flavor with gentle umami and a subtle natural sweetness. Versatile and easy to love, it’s ideal for traditional usucha (thin tea), yet bold enough to shine in lattes.

Yabukita brings a clean, classic finish, while Okumidori adds a soft, creamy depth. Together creating a well-rounded, approachable profile that has a satisfying light astringency at the end, making it perfect for lattes. It’s your go-to matcha for everyday moments, done exceptionally well.

Why drink matcha?

  1. Whole-leaf benefit: powdered to preserve every nutrient, not just an infusion
  2. Shade-grown for enhanced umami, chlorophyll, L-theanine, and antioxidants
  3. High in catechins (like EGCG), rutin, vitamin C- key for cell protection and vitality
  4. Delivers focused calm: L-theanine + caffeine offer alert relaxation without the crash
  5. Natural detox support via chlorophyll: helps promote liver and immune function
  6. Moderate caffeine: less than coffee, more than brewed tea
