  • Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea that’s been enjoyed for centuries. It’s made from shade-grown tea leaves, which naturally produce higher levels of chlorophyll to capture limited sunlight. This abundance of chlorophyll gives matcha its vibrant green color and nutrient-rich profile. After harvesting, the leaves are finely stone-ground into a delicate powder. Unlike regular tea, where the leaves are steeped and removed, matcha is whisked directly into water or milk — so you enjoy the entire leaf, resulting in more flavor, more nutrients, and a smooth, creamy cup that’s both grounding and energizing.

  • Our matcha comes from Nishio, Japan — a region world-renowned for producing some of the highest-quality matcha. We partner with a trusted wholesaler we’ve built an amazing relationship with, which allows us to ensure that every batch is fresh, authentic, and cultivated with care. By sourcing directly from Nishio, we’re able to bring you matcha that’s vibrant in color, rich in flavor, and true to its Japanese roots.

  • Yes, matcha naturally contains caffeine, but it’s different from the kind of energy you get from coffee. Matcha contains about half the amount of caffeine compared to a cup of coffee, but it also has L-theanine—an amino acid that helps to release caffeine slowly into your system. This gives you a steady energy boost without the jitters or the sudden crash that often comes with coffee.

  • Matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm and focus, without the jitteriness often experienced from coffee. This, combined with the natural caffeine found in matcha, helps boost concentration, productivity, and mental clarity—perfect for those long workdays or study sessions.

    It's a well-rounded source of dietary fiber. Fiber plays a vital role in supporting a healthy gut by promoting regular bowel movements and providing sustenance for beneficial gut bacteria.

    At the heart of matcha's digestive magic, lies its abundance of antioxidants, particularly catechins. These powerful compounds help combat oxidative stress, reducing inflammation and creating an environment conducive to a healthy digestive system
