Ceremonial matcha
from Shizuoka, Japan
Hand‑crafted matcha from the first spring harvest gives you the premium experience of preparing a traditional tea ritual.
A premium blend with a subtly tart umami flavour.
A harmonious taste of umami from the master of ceremonial matcha 🍵
Tohei Maeshima is considered one of the few masters who can combine cultivars to achieve an exceptionally harmonious taste - sweet, umami and without bitterness. Yabukita, Saemidori, Gokou, and Okumidori are the base cultivars.
Precise processing
from harvest to cup
Matcha is made from the youngest leaves of the first spring harvest (Ichibancha). After a short steaming process, the leaves are carefully dried, de‑stemmed and de‑veined, then slowly ground on traditional granite stones. Unlike the lower grades intended for brewing, this matcha is ideal for relaxed sipping.
Matcha as prepared in Japan
Ceremonial matcha can be enjoyed every day as part of the Japanese ritual. Pour 80°C water over the mixture. Prepare a fine usuchu or thick koichu, ideally using a bamboo whisk chasen. Matcha is also good in cold drinks or with milk, like the popular matcha latte.
A part of your daily ritual
for moments of focus and calm 🧠🪷
