Japanese (Uji) Matcha - First Flush

100g per bag.

We've been stocking this matcha for our wholesale customers and matcha-obsessed friends for years, and we're excited to finally make it available to you online!

Sourced directly from a third-generation tea maker in Uji, Kyoto, whom we visited in 2016, we selected this particular matcha for its freshness, quality, vibrance and versatility. It's earthy yet sweet, energizing yet comforting - truly one of the best ways to start the morning. Its great both on its own and in lattes.

For a refreshing and tangy twist on traditional matcha, try our Matcha lemonade recipe!

Warning: Incredibly addicting. Order at your own risk ;)

Brew Instructions

We recommend whisking with a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen), but a hand-held frother also works. You can even prepare iced matcha with a lidded mason jar or cocktail shaker!

If you have a whisk:

Whisk (bowl): 2g (1 tsp) | 80ml | 85°C | Sift powder into a bowl. Add 85°C water and whisk vigorously for 20-30sec until smooth and frothy.

If you don't have a whisk:

Same as above but substitute whisk for a hand held electric frother, or ice-brew with a mason jar / cocktail shaker (read below)!

Ice-Brew (Lidded mason jar or cocktail shaker): 2g (1tsp) | 300ml cold water | 5-6 ice cubes | Close lid and shake in mason jar or cocktail shaker for 10-20sec until dissolved and foamy.

Pairing (optional): A sweet confection, like mochi!

Storage: Once opened, we recommend keeping matcha in the fridge.

Your Tea Moments

I’ve bought a lot of ceremonial Matcha, and this is my favorite. I don’t think I’ll ever buy anything else.

Love at first sight

This perfect green magic is my new obsession! After a hard time with coffee matcha become perfect choice for me. Never find a good matcha in coffee shops, so I didn't get excited about it. After I try this one, everything changes. Finally I can say and recognise how good matcha should look and taste. The price of it is really good. I highly encourage you to try it. You will not regret it.

I buy a lot of different Matcha. While this wasn’t labeled as such, it was ceremonial grade. Great texture and flavor. It needs a fine screening. Fantastic, especially given the price.

Best matcha out there!

Such a great quality matcha! Once I started drinking it I was immediately hooked and swapped out my morning coffee for it! Highly recommend. It’s great pure or in lattes :)

The only matcha I drink!

I have been drinking this matcha for years. The quality is so good, it’s set my standard too high, to the point where I rarely order any matcha drinks from cafes as it never compares!
