Japanese Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

This is a high quality Japanese matcha green tea powder with a vibrant green color, fresh grassy aroma, and an exceptionally fine, silky texture. On the palate, this premium matcha delivers a smooth, well-balanced flavor with gentle natural sweetness, rich umami depth, and a clean, refreshing finish. It is delicately smooth when whisked, creating a creamy, frothy layer with fine, dense foam, and it leaves no bitterness.

Unlike ordinary green tea powder, authentic premium matcha is carefully cultivated and traditionally crafted to preserve its natural beauty and flavor. Our high quality Japanese matcha powder is made from the following steps.

1. Spring First Harvest
Each year during the spring first harvest season, typically from April to May, only the youngest and most tender tea buds and leaves are carefully selected to produce premium-grade organic matcha powder. First-harvest tea leaves are especially valued for their natural sweetness, freshness, and refined flavor profile.

2. Shade-Grown Cultivation
Approximately three to four weeks before harvest, the tea plants are traditionally shade-grown to reduce direct sunlight exposure. This important cultivation method encourages the leaves to develop higher levels of chlorophyll and natural amino acids.

As a result, the tea leaves develop their signature deep green color while producing the fresh vegetal aroma, rich umami character, and gentle sweetness that distinguish authentic premium matcha from ordinary green tea powders. Shade cultivation also helps reduce bitterness and creates a smoother, balanced taste.

3. Steaming Process
After harvesting, the delicate tea leaves undergo a gentle steaming process to prevent oxidation and preserve their freshness. Steaming helps lock in the tea’s vivid green color, natural aroma, and valuable nutrients while maintaining the clean and refreshing character.

4. Tencha Production
After steaming, the leaves are carefully dried and refined by removing stems and veins to create Tencha, the traditional raw material used exclusively for producing Japanese matcha. The production of Tencha is a specialized process that contributes to matcha’s unique texture, flavor, and vibrant appearance.

5. Traditional Stone Grinding
To achieve its exceptionally smooth texture, the Tencha is slowly ground using traditional stone mills. This low-temperature process minimizes heat, helping preserve the matcha’s delicate aroma, vibrant color, and natural flavor. Through traditional stone grinding craftsmanship, it results in a silky powder that whisks effortlessly into bright green tea with smooth, rich foam.

How to Make a Smooth Matcha Drink

1. Add Matcha Powder
Place 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a matcha bowl or cup. For an even smoother texture, you may sift the matcha beforehand to prevent clumps.

2. Whisk with Warm Water
Add a small amount of warm water (about 70–80℃ / 160–175°F). Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk the matcha briskly in a zigzag or “W” motion until the powder is fully dissolved and a layer of fine, rich foam forms on the surface.

3. Create Your Matcha Drink
Enjoy it as traditional matcha tea, or add warm or cold milk to create a creamy matcha latte. You may also blend it into smoothies or sweet recipes for a delicious matcha flavor.
