The millennium-old tea of Japanese Tea Ceremony, matcha is created when shade-grown tea leaves are deveined (Tencha) and stone ground into a fine powder.

This bright and vibrant powdered green tea is as ubiquitous as it is popular: found in coffee shops, smoothies, and bakeries, the Uji, Kyoto-native matcha is endlessly reinventing itself since its origin over a millennium ago. Despite its widespread Western presence, fresh matcha is a painstaking labor of love from leaf (slowly shade-grown) to sorting (stalks/veins removed) to grinding (slowly ground) to your cup. Our beloved Kodemari is not only marvelous to mix, but an excellent daily sipper for your personal ritual.
