Sourced directly from Chiran, Kagoshima in Japan's southernmost major tea-growing region, this premium ceremonial-grade matcha was selected by our expert team after comparing multiple producers for colour, aroma, texture and flavour — and it stood out on every count.
Kagoshimas warm climate, volcanic soil and long sunshine hours create ideal growing conditions, producing a vibrant, bright green matcha with none of the dull, yellow undertones found in lower-grade varieties.
Tea plants are shaded for three to four weeks before harvest to enhance chlorophyll, L-theanine, sweetness and umami. The youngest leaves are then hand-picked, steamed, dried, refined into tencha, and slowly stone-ground into an ultra-fine, silky powder.
The result is a smooth, naturally sweet matcha with delicate umami and minimal bitterness. Traditionally whisked with a bamboo chasen in 70–80°C water, it produces a light, frothy cup. Naturally rich in antioxidants, including catechins (EGCG), it is also a source of L-theanine, iron and vitamin A.
The bamboo matcha whisk shown in the image is for display purposes only, but is available to purchase separately both online and in-store.
