MATCHA GUIDE

1. What is Matcha?

Matcha is finely ground green tea powder made from shade-grown tea leaves (called tencha). Unlike regular green tea, you consume the entire leaf—so you get all the flavor, the nutrients, and that smooth, focused energy matcha is famous for.

Ours is ceremonial-grade and stone-milled in Shizuoka, Japan, where the soil, mist, and growers all work together to make it special.

2. Why Quality Matters?

Not all matcha is created equal. Here's what to look for:

Color: Bright, vibrant green (not dull or yellowish)
Texture: Fine and silky, not gritty or coarse
Taste: Smooth, earthy, slightly sweet—not bitter or fishy
Origin: Ours is single-origin from Shizuoka, shade-grown, and fresh-packed

If your matcha tastes bad, it’s probably not real ceremonial-grade. Sorry, not sorry.
