Vibrant, silky and beautifully smooth, our Japanese Shizuoka Matcha is a premium green tea crafted to capture the remarkable depth and freshness of finely made matcha. Rich in flavour with a naturally rounded character, every cup delivers the distinctive intensity that comes from consuming the whole tea leaf.
Sourced from Shizuoka, one of Japan’s most celebrated tea-growing regions, this matcha begins with carefully selected green tea leaves chosen for their quality, colour and flavour. Shizuoka has a long-established tea culture, with its landscape and climate helping make it one of the most important tea-producing regions in Japan.
After harvest, the leaves are cold-stored to preserve their freshness, protecting the vibrant green colour and delicate aromatic character of the tea until they are ready to be milled.
The prepared leaves are then slowly stone-milled into an exceptionally fine powder. This traditional process creates the beautifully silky texture that distinguishes quality matcha and allows the complete character of the leaf to become part of the finished cup.
Once whisked, Shizuoka Matcha produces a vivid green tea with a rich, smooth texture and wonderfully concentrated flavour. Fresh vegetal notes are balanced by a gentle natural sweetness and savoury depth, creating a satisfying cup with the characteristic richness of finely milled Japanese green tea.
Unlike an ordinary infusion, where the leaves are removed after brewing, with matcha you consume the finely ground tea leaf itself. This gives the drink its distinctive intensity, texture and vibrant colour, as well as the naturally occurring compounds contained within the whole leaf.
Traditionally whisked with hot water until beautifully smooth and lightly frothy, it can also be enjoyed as a matcha latte or served over ice. However you prepare it, the quality of the tea remains at the centre of the cup.
Japanese Shizuoka Matcha is matcha at its most rewarding – vibrant, smooth and intensely flavourful, made with exceptional Japanese tea and carefully stone-milled for a beautifully refined finish.
