Matcha
Whisk, sip and savour traditional Japanese matcha.
Each blend in our collection is made from the finest Japanese matcha, celebrated for its deep green hue and potent antioxidant benefits. Whether you're preparing for a traditional tea ceremony, savouring a daily cup or experimenting with innovative recipes like a matcha latte, our selection of matcha powder.
The vibrant green colour and rich flavour profile of matcha is achieved through a meticulous process: tea leaves are shade-grown for 20 days to boost chlorophyll and amino acids, then stone-milled to a fine powder using traditional methods. This careful attention to detail guarantees a matcha powder that's not only visually striking but also packed with nutrients.
To fully appreciate the unique qualities of matcha, try whisking it with a bamboo whisk, a practice that boosts its flavour and texture. Choose matcha powder from leading brands including OMGTea, PerfectTed, Pukka and Rheal.
