Matcha – For a fresh start in spring
When the pale pink cherry blossoms first emerge throughout Japan, an unmistakable touch of spring is definitely in the air. Springtime heralds rejuvenation, and a fresh, new start, one elegantly symbolized by a single tea bowl of matcha. Matcha embodies the unique essence of the entire leaf in its most refined form. The refreshing vitality of its natural caffeine provides sustained vigor without an aggressive caffeine kick.
Premium matcha – quality to the taste, beauty to the eye
Our organic matcha comes from Honshū, Japan’s main island, where rich soils and an ideal climate provide excellent conditions for producing tea of the highest quality. Only the very finest leaves from the first harvest are selected for the production of organic matcha.
Growers shade the tea leaves for two to three weeks so that they can fully develop their magnificent emerald color and vibrant flavor. Once picked, the leaf stems and veins are painstakingly removed. Only then is the “tencha” very finely ground into a soft powder in slowly rotating granite mills. It takes about an hour to produce some 30 grams, or just roughly the amount for a small tin.
This premium drink is packed with numerous health benefits – a mild but highly aromatic tea with delicate sweetness and a silky-soft finish.
Good to know: The brilliant emerald green color is your assurance of superior quality matcha.
Matcha – when mindfulness meets enjoyment
Matcha has been key to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony for centuries. The “Way of Tea” is a credo embracing mutual respect, gratitude, and appreciation of nature – a moment of calm and conscious enjoyment that can also be found in our everyday lives.
