why refined matcha?
Kagoshima, Japan
Volcanic soil. Perfect climate. Refined matcha.
Shaped by the mineral-rich volcanic soil surrounding Sakurajima, Refined Matcha develops a deep umami flavour and a smooth, refined finish.
First flush
First harvest. Peak quality.
Picked in early spring, when the leaves are most tender, vibrant and rich in umami.
Shade-grown
Shaded before harvest. Enhanced umami.
By limiting sunlight, the leaves develop deeper flavour and a more vibrant green colour.
Stone-milled
Slowly ground. Ultra fine.
Stone grinding preserves flavour, colour and nutrients.
Tasting notes
Deep umami. Natural sweetness. Silky smooth.
No bitterness. Just balance.
Caffeine
Roughly 60 to 70mg per serving.
Close to a single espresso, with L-theanine flattening the curve: alert without the crash.

questions, answered
What is ceremonial matcha?
Ceremonial matcha is the highest grade, made to drink pure with just water. It comes from the youngest leaves of the first harvest, shade-grown for weeks and stone-ground into a fine powder. The result is a vibrant green color and a smooth, naturally sweet taste. Ours comes from Kagoshima, Japan.
What is the difference between ceremonial and culinary matcha?
Culinary matcha comes from later harvests and has a stronger, more bitter taste, which works well in baking and cooking. For a pure matcha or a latte, choose ceremonial.
How much L-theanine is in matcha?
L-theanine is an amino acid in tea leaves that promotes calm, focused energy. A 2g serving of our ceremonial matcha contains roughly 60 to 70mg, working with caffeine to give steady energy without the crash you get from coffee.
How much caffeine is in matcha?
A 2g serving contains about 60 to 70mg of caffeine, similar to a shot of espresso and less than a cup of filter coffee. Thanks to L-theanine, it is released more gradually, giving calm, longer-lasting focus instead of a quick spike.
How much matcha can I drink per day?
1 to 3 cups (2 to 6g) a day is fine for most healthy adults. The EFSA considers up to 400mg of caffeine a day safe, a limit matcha alone will not easily reach, just count any other caffeine you have too.
Can I drink matcha while pregnant or breastfeeding?
In moderation, yes, but check with your midwife or doctor first. The EFSA advises a maximum of 200mg of caffeine during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and one matcha serving fits comfortably within that if you count your other caffeine sources.
