Questions before the first sip

Sift approximately 2 g of matcha into a bowl, add 30–40 ml of water at 70–80 °C, then whisk in a zigzag motion until smooth and creamy. Enjoy it pure, or pour it over 180 ml of hot or cold milk.

Water above 80 °C scorches the leaf and brings out bitterness. Let freshly boiled water rest for two to three minutes before pouring — that is where the sweetness and umami we shade-grow for open up.

Keep the pouch sealed, away from light, heat and humidity, and use it within 4–6 weeks of opening for the brightest colour and flavour. The best-before date is printed on every pack.

The M Series is the easiest starting point for a balanced daily ritual. S, R and G Series are designed as more specific expressions as the collection expands.

Our matcha is single-origin, shade-grown tea from Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, stone-milled in small batches. The farms and cultivars behind each series are described on the Provenance page.

Each G Series set includes premium matcha, a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen), a bamboo spoon (chashaku), a sieve (furui) and a ceramic bowl, presented in premium gift packaging together with a story card about the origin, the craft and the preparation ritual.
