Our Matcha

Tea farmers work in harmony with their environment to grow, shade, and harvest the most precious young leaves from tea bushes. Our trusted matcha manufacturers carefully test each batch of these prized tea leaves for flavor and quality. Stems and veins are meticulously removed, leaving behind only pure leaf material. The tea is then slowly ground into a fine powder using hand-carved granite mill stones—it takes an hour to grind just one ounce of matcha!

We source only 100% pure matcha with no fillers or color enhancers. Our matcha has been rigorously tested for caffeine, nutritional content, pesticides, and radiation.

We currently offer First Flush Matcha from the Kagoshima prefecture of Japan. First Flush Matcha can be prepared traditionally with a bowl and bamboo whisk, but it can also be used in smoothies, desserts, and many other recipes.

First Flush Matcha is also used in our signature Matcha Latte mix, blended here in Portland with sugar and fruit pectin. We use only enough sugar to perfectly sweeten the latte—with just 10 grams per tablespoon, our Matcha Latte contains far less sugar than most sweetened matcha mixes on the market. The addition of fruit pectin helps to suspend and slightly thicken the latte.
