What Makes Our Matcha Special

Bold Flavor, Balanced Bitterness

Made from second leaves picked in May, with savory umami and a light bitterness. Its bold matcha flavor shines through, even with milk or sugar.

Shade-Grown in Boseong

Each spring, we shade our tea plants from the sun before harvest. Less sun means less bitterness and a smoother, sweeter cup.

100% Organic, Nothing Added

No coloring, sugar, or flavors — just pure premium-grade matcha from certified organic tea fields in Boseong, Korea.

WHY WE LOVE IT
The Sharp Magpie

This is an easy matcha to enjoy any way you like. In milk, soda, desserts, or even over ice, it always tastes nicely balanced!

The Mellow Tiger

If ceremonial feels like a bit much, premium is the one. It's my daily matcha — I keep reaching for it.

How to Enjoy Premium Matcha

  • The most honest way to taste matcha just as it is.

Feel the soft aroma, the gentle nutty umami, and the calm finish.

Step 1Put some warm water and matcha in a bowl (chawan).
Step 2Whisk quickly with a bamboo whisk (chasen) until foamy.
Step 3Add more water or matcha to taste.
Step 4Enjoy your matcha with its rich foam.

Step 3Pour it over 160ml of milk and stir.
Step 4Enjoy! *Add sugar if you like.

Step 3Enjoy! *Add syrup or yuzu syrup if you like.
FAQ

Answers to common questions about our matcha.

Ceremonial vs. Premium: what's the difference?

Ceremonial uses early spring leaves. It's sweet and rich — best on its own.
Premium uses later leaves. It's a little bitter — great for lattes.

Does it have caffeine?

Ceremonial and Premium: yes.
Hojicha Matcha: a little.
Mugwort Powder: none — it's made from an herb, so it's naturally caffeine-free.

No bamboo whisk? No problem.

Shake the matcha and water in a small jar, or use a milk frother.

How do I store it?

Close the lid tightly and keep it in a cool, dark place. For long storage, use the fridge or freezer. Matcha soaks up smells easily, so seal it in a zip bag.

How many cups are in one tin?

About 20 straight cups (2g each) or 10 lattes (4g each).
