Our Cocktail / Culinary Grade Organic Matcha is ingredient-quality. This means that it’s ideal for adding to desserts, drinks, and food and can be enjoyed as a healthy addition to your daily diet, particularly for the high level of antioxidants locked into this Japanese green tea powder.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha Yame
A nutty and velvety matcha from Yame, Fukuoka – with delicate notes of white chocolate. This is a beautiful example of how smooth and sweet Matcha can be, enjoyed as a treat to uplift the spirits, perhaps with a square of high quality, creamy chocolate on the side?
Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Fuji
Umami, sweet and fresh Matcha from Fuji, Shizuoka, with complex mineral character. This stunning example is a fine choice for connoisseur’s looking to discern more savoury, vegetal notes that are common in the highest quality Matcha and as a result of organic growth.
Matcha Tools
To get the best from your Matcha, there’s no lovelier way than to use the traditional tools to create a calm, mindful ceremony at home, deliberating over every movement to focus the mind before raising the cup to your lips and drinking slowly.
Ceramic Matcha Bowl
Our ceramic Matcha bowls draw on the traditional Japanese Chawan, ensuring there is plenty of space to whisk vigorously enough to create a perfect froth on top. The calming white colour allows the vibrant green of our Matcha to ‘pop’, adding a visual element to the ceremony of preparing Matcha at home.
Chasen Whisk
Our 100-prong whisks are handmade by old masters, fashioned from a single piece of bamboo that has been seasoned for two years before being carefully teased and worked into these delicate works of art capable of whisking up the perfect Matcha crema.
Ceremonial Matcha Set
This set includes everything you need to enjoy a Matcha ceremony at home. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who already loves Matcha, or that you know admires beautiful things, and you suspect might find great joy in the everyday ritual of Matcha making.
Matcha Recipes
Matcha is such a wonderfully versatile ingredient and we’re always looking for new ways to play with this amazing Japanese green tea powder. Below are a few inspiring suggestions, though don’t forget to head to our blog where we add ideas and recipes reguarly.
Matcha Vanilla Ice Cream Milkshake
For this simple, creamy ice cream milkshake, choose a plain flavour like vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. We opted for a vanilla that has a lot of real vanilla flavour to pair with our Organic Cocktail Grade Matcha, which has a vibrant green flavour and a hint of umami.
Matcha Yoghurt Summer Bowl
It’s so easy to get your daily Matcha fix and boost of health by adding Matcha powder to your smoothies or yoghurts. Here we’ve finely sieved a 1 tsp full of our Organic Cocktail Grade Matcha into 150ml Coconut Yoghurt, and piled it high with seasonal berries. It doesn’t hurt to add a sprinkling of dessicated coconut for extra sweetness, either.
