Japanese (Uji) Matcha - First Flush (100g pack)
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. Earthy yet sweet, and energizing yet comforting, it's truly one of the best ways to start the morning. Great both on its own and for making lattes.
For a refreshing 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 lidded mason jar / cocktail shaker:
Ice-Brew: 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. Best consumed within 3 months for optimal flavor and freshness.
