Fresh Kagoshima.

We spent a year tasting our way across Japan before settling here. Ash from the Sakurajima volcano has fed this soil for centuries, and the minerals carry straight into the leaf: deeper color, a rounder finish, almost no bitterness. Kagoshima's warm southern climate also brings first harvest weeks ahead of any other region, so the leaves reach you younger and greener.

For the final three weeks before harvest the plants grow under shade, concentrating sweetness and chlorophyll. We pick only the youngest first-harvest leaves and stone-grind them in small batches. By every measure we know, the result is brighter and cleaner than tins selling for twice the price.

From sift to sip.

A quiet practice you can build a morning around. No equipment fuss, no chemistry. Just the hand, the bowl, and the green coming alive in front of you.

III

Fire or Ice.

Top with hot water for usucha, steamed milk for a latte, or pour over ice. The ritual is yours.

matcha is great, packaging is horrible

I only gave 3 stars because of the absolutely horrible packaging. The matcha itself is great, but if I'm dropping close to $175 for a pound of matcha, could you at least put it in a resealable bag/container? Mine was sent in a deep and narrow foil coffee bag without even a Ziploc. It's impossible to get a measuring spoon in there without my hand being covered in matcha! If it comes in a bag like that again, I will be cancelling my subscription.

Hey Greg, so sorry about the packaging. There must have been a mix up since we pack the Organic Ceremonial in resealable white pouches. Going forward this won't be an issue. Thanks so much for the review!

Both are top-of-the-line ceremonial grade. Our Organic is USDA + JAS certified, which means stricter farming practices and a slightly higher price. Superior comes from the same Kagoshima region under Japan's already-strict pesticide laws. Equally clean tasting, just not certified organic.
About 35mg per serving, roughly a third of a cup of coffee. The L-theanine in matcha smooths the caffeine release, so you get steady focus instead of a spike and crash.
30-day money-back guarantee, no questions. Open the tin, brew a few bowls, decide. If it's not for you, email us and we'll refund.
Yes, in moderation. Most guidance is to keep total caffeine under 200mg/day, which works out to roughly 2 servings of matcha. Always check with your physician first.
The 40g tin makes 20–40 servings depending on how strong you brew (about 3 to 6 weeks of a daily ritual). The 100g pouch makes 50–100. Most daily drinkers land on a monthly 40g, or 100g if they brew more than one bowl a day.
