Craft matcha, ready to whisk

A small, first-harvest lot from Shizuoka, Japan. Shade-grown tencha leaves, picked at the peak of the season, then stone-milled at low temperature to protect every note of flavour from heat.

Vivid green and silky from the first whisk. Smooth and umami-rich on its own, balanced and creamy with milk, bright and clean over ice. The same standard of care we apply to every coffee we source, now in a new ritual.

A 30g tin makes 15 to 30 servings.

It's a micro-lot, so enjoy it while we have it.

Harper M. ★★★★★

The stone-milled texture is so fine it dissolves into the water almost instantly, and the color is this vivid, deep green. The first sip is grassy but smooth, with a sweetness that lingers long after. This first-harvest lot definitely tastes like the peak of the season.

Brian ★★★★★

The low-temperature stone milling really shows—the powder dissolves into a velvety, sweet brew with zero bitterness. I whisked it this morning and the color was so vivid, like fresh spring grass. First-harvest from Shizuoka is exactly the quality I was hoping for.

Ryan ★★★★★

I’ve tried a lot of matcha over the years, but this one from Shizuoka is on another level. The shade-grown leaves give it such a deep, savory sweetness, and it whisks up unbelievably smooth with almost no clumps. Definitely my new morning ritual.
