A message from the founder...
how we source
Hi! Jamie here :)
I'm so glad you've found this community. In my continuous search for high quality organic matcha, I taste test usucha style first.
This is essentially about 2 grams of sifted and whisked matcha in a little hot water (80°C) topped with a little more water. This is the best way to experience a new matcha, especially a single cultivar with unique tasting notes. Once I get a baseline for the flavour, only then do I experiment with adding more water or milk. I do not source matcha for the brand by how it tastes in a latte first. Ceremonial matcha is delicate, because it is produced to be enjoyed plain. I find it funny when some seek the highest quality matcha only to drown it in additives (and are frustrated when the matcha taste is lost.)
I by no means am a purist (who doesn't enjoy a strawberry matcha treat sometimes!) but find a premium grade to be a better option for a drink like this. We are considering adding an organic premium for the latte lovers- stay tuned!
Our go to ratio...
HOW TO matcha
It takes some time to crave the taste of matcha on its own. Here is my favourite ratio when I do like to add some milk.
1. Set your kettle to 80°C/175°
(if you don't have a temperature controlled kettle, boil water and let it sit for a few minutes)
2. Sift 3g of matcha powder into a Chawan
3. Pour about 2 oz of water into the bowl (enough to cover the powder)
4. Whisk the matcha until the top layer is a nice foam
5. Pour matcha into cup
5. Add 4 oz of water
6. Add a splash of milk (cold or even better from a frother)
This is a nice place to start, then you can experiment on your own to find your favourite recipe!
FAQ
when will I get my order?
Orders are fulfilled in 1-3 business days. Depending on your location, shipping times vary, but orders should arrive within 5 business days after shipment.
how should I store my matcha
We recommend storing opened matcha in a cool dark place (like a pantry) away from heat, light, and humidity.
The next best storage option would be in the fridge, but with caution.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Matcha absorbs moisture and odors easily, so keep it sealed.
- Let it reach room temperature before opening – Condensation can form inside the container if cold matcha is exposed to warm air, affecting quality.
Avoid the Fridge
If frequently used – Taking it in and out can cause condensation and degrade the matcha faster.
f not properly sealed – It can absorb fridge odors, affecting flavor.
where do you ship?
We ship to the US & Canada, hoping to expand one day!
do you offer returns?
Due to the nature of our edible products, we do not accept returns on matcha. However, if you experience any issues with your order, please reach out—we’re happy to help!
If your product is damaged upon arrival, please send us an email with pictures.
Why is good matcha so expensive?
Ceremonial organic matcha is expensive because it's made from the highest-quality, shade-grown young tea leaves, and stone-ground into a fine powder. The process is labor-intensive, production is limited, and organic farming adds extra care and cost—resulting in a vibrant, smooth matcha prized for its flavor, freshness, and purity.
Traditional granite stone mills grind matcha very slowly to prevent heat buildup, which can damage flavour and nutrients.
Each mill produces only about 30–40 grams per hour, just one tin!
