Single Estate Matcha, from its true origin
From a family-run single estate in Fujian Province in China, our Matcha offers authentic origin, dependable quality and a full range of grades — from ceremonial to latte grade — with EU Organic options available.
China is the historic home of the powdered tea tradition from which modern Matcha developed.
During the Tang Dynasty, tea was prepared in forms that were later ground and mixed with water, and by the Song Dynasty powdered tea was being whisked with hot water in a way that closely resembles Matcha today.
In the late 12th century, the Zen monk Eisai brought tea seeds and the powdered tea preparation method from Song dynasty China to Japan, where the practice continued to evolve. Over time, Matcha became closely linked with Japanese tea culture and chanoyu, the tea ceremony tradition shaped by Zen thought and later refined by tea masters including Sen no Rikyu.

Matcha is no longer confined to traditional tea preparation. Today it is widely used in cafés, restaurants and product development across formats including lattes, iced drinks, confectionery and desserts. Matcha is enjoyed with milk, sugar, soda water and other ingredients and it has become a classic ice cream flavour as well.

Rather than typical teas where the tea leaves are ultimately left behind in the teapot, with Matcha, you consume the whole ground tea leaf and it therefore contains more protein than regular steeped green tea. It’s a great nutritional boost to a daily routine.
