Why try our Matcha?

What are the health benefits of drinking Matcha?

More than just a beautiful drink — matcha is a daily ritual that works for your mind, body, and skin.

Matcha provides

⚡ Natural Energy 🧘 Calm & Focus 🧠 Improved Concentration ✨ Detox & Anti-Ageing 🛡️ Immune Support 🔥 Boosted Metabolism

01 — ENERGY

Natural, Sustained Energy

Matcha contains caffeine — but only a third of what's in coffee. The key difference is how it's released. Matcha delivers a slow, steady stream of caffeine into your bloodstream, sustaining you for hours without the sharp spike and crash that coffee causes. No jitters. No cravings. Just clean, lasting energy.

02 — CALM

Calming & Reduces Anxiety

Matcha contains L-theanine, a remarkable amino acid that positively affects alpha brain waves — promoting a state of relaxed alertness and reducing feelings of stress or anxiety. It also increases dopamine and serotonin levels, naturally lifting your mood and helping you feel genuinely good.

03 — FOCUS

Improved Focus & Concentration

The synergy between caffeine and L-theanine in matcha is well-studied — together they improve memory retention, reaction time, and sustained attention. Matcha helps you get into a flow state and stay there, making it the ideal companion for deep work, study, or creative thinking.

04 — DETOX & ANTI-AGEING

Detoxifying & Anti-Ageing

Before harvest, matcha plants are shade-grown to boost chlorophyll — a natural detoxifier that supports liver function and helps flush toxins, heavy metals, and persistent chemicals from the body. Matcha also contains catechins that fight UV damage and pollution, plus vitamins A, C, K and B complex that support skin cell renewal for smoother, more supple skin.

Anti Ageing Matcha Good for Skin

05 — IMMUNITY

Helps Boost Immunity

Matcha is one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants — surpassing blueberries, chia seeds, and other well-known superfoods. It's also the richest natural source of EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a plant catechin that helps your body produce T-cells to fight pathogens and viruses. Read more about matcha and immunity →

Matcha helps keep your immune system healthy

06 — METABOLISM

Boosts Metabolism & Aids Weight Loss

EGCG works in tandem with matcha's natural caffeine to stimulate thermogenesis — your body's calorie-burning process. Matcha also helps your body use stored fat as an energy source during exercise, making it a smart addition to any active lifestyle.

How do I make a Matcha latte?


Making a cup of Matcha has never been easier, especially when using our convenient Matcha Shaker.

How to Make A Matcha Latte Easily Without A Bamboo Whisk
If you don't own our Matcha Shaker simply follow these steps instead to make a Matcha Latte:
  1. Push 1 teaspoon (approx. 2 grams) of Matcha Powder through a sieve into your cup. NOTE: if you want a stronger flavour we recommending adding up to 2 Teaspoons of Matcha
  2. Pour in around 30ml of hot water (no hotter than 80 degrees), just enough to cover the Matcha Powder.
  3. Blend the Matcha and Water by mixing with a Bamboo whisk / Matcha Shaker or Electric Whisk to blend to get a better result)
  4. Add 100ml milk to the dissolved Matcha & Water Mix
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of sweetener (we recommend Maple Syrup) to taste (optional)
  6. Larger serve? Just double the quantity of Matcha to 4 grams (2 metric teaspoons) and 200ml milk. Keep the water at 30ml so it doesn’t dilute.

We recommend storing Matcha in the fridge in a well sealed, air tight container. Either in the pouch you receive the tea in or transfer it to a Storage Jar

🌿 Choosing Between Premium & Everyday

Growing Regions

Everyday and Premium Matcha - Kagoshima, Kyushu.

Grown near the iconic Sakurajima volcano, Kagoshima’s tea fields thrive in nutrient-rich volcanic soil. This unique terroir gives the matcha its vibrant green colour, smooth umami flavour, and naturally sweet, full-bodied character.

What is a cultivar?

A cultivar is a specific cultivated variety of the tea plant. Different cultivars express distinct characteristics in flavour, aroma and colour — even when grown in the same region.

Just as grape varieties influence the taste of wine, tea cultivars shape the character of matcha.

The Cultivars We Use

Tsuyuhikari (つゆひかり)

Meaning “dew light,” Tsuyuhikari is known for its bright, refreshing profile with gentle lingering umami. It produces a smooth, lively matcha well suited to daily drinking and milk-based preparations.

Okumidori (奥緑)

Translating to “deep green,” Okumidori is highly regarded for its vibrant colour and mellow, creamy character. It delivers deeper umami, a fuller body and minimal bitterness — ideal for traditional preparation and drinking straight.

What does Ceremonial grade Matcha mean?

“Ceremonial grade” is a commonly used term in the tea industry to describe matcha intended for drinking straight rather than for culinary use.

While there is no official grading system, this designation typically refers to first-harvest tea with smoothness, balance and minimal bitterness.

Is your Matcha Organic?

Organic certification applies at different stages of the supply chain.

Our Premium Matcha is made from tea grown on JAS-certified organic farms in Japan. These farms follow strict organic standards set by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, including the prohibition of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

Once imported and packaged in Australia, the finished product itself is not certified under the JAS system.

Australia recognises equivalency under the JAS organic standard.

Our Everyday Matcha is grown using standard Japanese farming practices and is not organic-certified.

Why isn’t the JAS Organic logo shown on Premium Matcha?

The JAS Organic logo can only be displayed on products that are packed within a JAS-certified processing facility.

While our Premium Matcha is made from tea grown on JAS-certified organic farms and processed in certified facilities in Japan, we package our matcha in Australia. For this reason, we describe the organic certification at origin rather than using the official JAS logo.

We believe in full transparency about our sourcing.

Why is our Premium Matcha more expensive?

Our Premium Matcha is:

• Single cultivar (Okumidori)
• First-harvest
• Made from tea grown on JAS-certified organic farms
• Stone-milled in Japan
• Multi Award-winning

It is crafted specifically for traditional preparation and drinking straight.

Can I drink Premium Matcha as a latte?

You can — however, its nuanced flavour profile is best appreciated on its own. If you prefer matcha with milk, our Everyday Matcha is designed to shine beautifully in lattes.
