Naturally Cultivated & Stone-Ground Excellence
A premium matcha green tea sourced from China (Zhejiang province). Cultivated using natural methods, this tea is a testament to sustainable and artisanal practices. The delicate tea leaves are carefully harvested, steamed, dried, and stone-ground to produce a vibrant, fine green powder. The traditional stone-grinding process ensures that each batch retains its bright colour, rich nutrients, and complex flavour profile. Zhejiang province's temperature, humidity, rainfall and sun coverage conditions all contribute to the high quality tea leaves.
Flavour Profile: Bright, Grassy, and Bittersweet
Matcha offers a sensory experience with its bright and grassy notes, complemented by a balanced bittersweet freshness. Aromas of fresh-cut grass blend harmoniously with slightly earthy and floral undertones. The flavours linger softly, leaving a delicate vegetal and floral aftertaste that is both refreshing and grounding.

Brewing Methods and Tips

Modern Preparation: Blend 1–2 grams with hot water using an electric frother for a quick, fuss-free cup. Add milk, sweeteners, or fruit for lattes and smoothies.
