Ceremonial Matcha

Our matcha is meticulously sourced from a distinguished farm in Kagoshima, located in the Shizuoka prefecture in Japan. It is known for its dedication to organic and traditional agriculture since 1935. After carefully comparing numerous premium matchas from across Japan, we selected our supplier based on their unmatched quality, exceptional taste, and potent effects.

Selective Harvesting: Only the top four leaves of the first eight that sprout by the twentieth day of shading in spring are handpicked. These tender leaves contribute to an exceptionally creamy and smooth matcha with a thick foam.

High L-Theanine Content: By allowing tea plants to mature for five years before harvesting—two years longer than standard practice— the roots absorb more nutrients. This results in an L-Theanine content as high as 4,000 mg per 100 grams, promoting relaxation and a balanced flavor profile.

Rigorous Safety Testing: All raw materials undergo testing for pesticides, radiation, and heavy metals at Eurofins Scientific, ensuring the matcha is free from contaminants.

L-Theanine is an amino acid that is especially abundant in matcha. L-Theanine promotes relaxation without drowsiness. Research indicates that when L-Theanine, and caffeine are combined they cam improve cognitive performance and increase alertness.

High L-Theanine Content: Our matcha comes from tea plants that are allowed to mature for five years before harvesting—two years longer than standard practice— because of this the roots absorb more nutrients.

Matcha has about 70g of caffeine which can enhance athletic performance by improving concentration, reducing the perception of effort, and increasing endurance. The caffeine content in matcha is significant and generally provides a more sustained release of energy without the common 'crash' associated with coffee.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the potent anti-oxidant naturally found in matcha. EGCG can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. This can mean improved muscle recovery and reduced muscle damage after intense physical activity. Studies suggest that catechins may enhance endurance capacity and fat oxidation, which are crucial for athletes in endurance sports.
