Matcha is a finely stone-milled green tea powder made from shade-grown tencha leaves.

Our matcha is single-origin from one dedicated farm in Shizuoka Prefecture. We work directly with the producer for full traceability and consistent quality.

Unopened: 6–12 months
After opening: best within 4–6 weeks

For lattes, add your preferred milk.

Each tin contains 40g of ceremonial-grade matcha.
