Collapsible content

Origin & Cultivar

This matcha is the result of a tea master’s careful cultivar selection, centered around Saemidori, Okumidori & Yabukita. Each cultivar is chosen for the role it plays in the final cup, from sweetness and umami to colour, structure, and finish, while a small number of supporting cultivars bring added harmony and depth. The profile is balanced, expressive, and polished, crafted for a refined bowl of usucha and an exceptional matcha latte.

Taste

Imperial is selected for a softer, more rounded cup with a fuller mouthfeel. It is designed to feel calm, silky, and elegant rather than sharp or aggressive.

Shade grown

Shade growing before harvest helps build chlorophyll and amino acid richness, giving the tea its deeper green character and smoother, umami-led profile.

Freshly packed year round

We import in matcha through smaller cycles across the year so flavour, colour, and aroma stay fresher rather than depending on long storage windows.

Storage

Keep sealed and away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Refrigerate after the delivery for best colour and flavour retention.

How to Make Uji Matcha Latte (Japanese Café Style)

This Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha is delicate, smooth, and deeply aromatic.

When prepared with traditional Uji café ratios, it delivers a rich umami experience that stands out even in milk-based drinks.

Recommended recipe for a tall Uji matcha latte:

  • 3 tsp (5g) matcha + 50ml water (1:10 ratio)
  • Pour over 130ml milk in a glass with ice and sweetener for a beautifully layered cup

Product questions

Quick answers about preparation, storage, taste and shipping.

How many servings of matcha can I get from one pack?

It depends on the size of the pack and how strong you like your matcha. As a guideline, 30 grams of matcha powder yields roughly 12–15 servings. We typically suggest using about 2 grams per serving (approx. 1 teaspoon), which would give you 15 cups from a 30g tin.

What grades of matcha do you offer, and what’s the difference?

Premium Grade Matcha: This is a high-quality everyday matcha

Ceremonial Grade Matcha: Ceremonial grade is a step up in quality, made from the first harvest of tea leaves. 

Imperial Grade Matcha: Imperial is our top-tier matcha (AAA ceremonial grade). It’s made from the very youngest first-harvest leaves from Kyoto.

Where is your matcha sourced from?

Our Imperial grade comes from Kyoto Prefecture, which is famous for producing some of Japan’s finest matcha.

Our Ceremonial grade is sourced from tea gardens in Kyoto and Kagoshima (southern Japan).

Premium grade is a special blend from tea farms in Shizuoka, Japan

Is this matcha lab tested?

Yes. Our matcha is tested for key safety parameters including pesticide residues, heavy metals and microbiology.

How much does shipping cost & How long does it take to delivery?

Within India: We offer free standard shipping on all orders within India
For orders within India: Our standard shipping typically takes about 3–7 business days for delivery anywhere in India.

International: For orders outside India, the shipping cost will depend on the destination and the weight of your order. During checkout, after you enter your address, the system will automatically calculate the shipping charge based on your location and the order size.

What if my order arrives damaged, or I’m not happy with the product?

If you encounter any problems with your order, please contact us right away! We are here to help. Here’s how we handle such cases:

  • Damaged or Defective Items: In the rare event that your matcha tin or any product arrives damaged or is defective, we will make it right.

  • Dissatisfied with the Taste/Quality: We genuinely hope you love our matcha, but if for some reason you’re not satisfied, let us know. Since food products cannot be returned once opened (for safety reasons), we can’t process a traditional return in this case. However, we still want you to have a good experience. Contact us and share your feedback. We might recommend trying a different grade of matcha that could better suit your palate, or in certain cases we may provide a one-time courtesy solution to ensure you’re happy.

Unbeatable matcha, unbeatable customer service

I've been buying this matcha regularly for over a year now because it is simply the best. More recently though, their customer service has won my heart 10 times over. Ninad and his team saw a comment that wasn't even really a complaint and reached out to offer an unexpected, and wholly appreciated, solution. Really the only place that puts their product and customers on the same level. Team Heapwell, I hope you never change!

My favourite matcha in India, although some batches can be inconsistent

As a matcha devotee, even with so many matcha brands cropping up like mushrooms everyday, I no longer feel the need to try out different options because I've found my HG right here in the Imperial matcha. It's a gorgeously fragrant, smooth matcha that holds its taste so well in lattes.

I do want to point out that out of the dozen or so times I've ordered so far, there have been a couple of instances where the characteristics had noticeably fluctuated. The current pack I'm about to finish is a bit low on the signature sweet aroma that I've come to associate with Heapwell, although the taste is as usual. At an earlier instance, even the taste was different, i.e., not as potent and barely discernible in my regular lattes.

I know slight variations are to be expected in natural/ farmed products, but I do hope that the luxurious, well-rounded version I've come to expect makes its way back to me with my next order.

Great flavour

I’ll buy it again and again! The quality/price ratio is really excellent.
The colour is very green, a sign of good quality, and the taste is very good: sweet, slightly vegetable, without excessive bitterness. It blends well and makes for a pleasant drink to drink on a daily basis.

Superb discovery

This matcha is really good. Very bright green colour and no bitterness. I drink classic matcha without milk. It works best as compared to any other matchas.

Huge upgrade from ceremonial grade

If you are a mathca fan, you'll love this. This pack is excellent value for money. It is a pretty bright green. It has a smooth matcha flavor and is not bitter.

The perfect matcha

This has become an integral part of my morning routine. The taste is mild on its own and becomes super creamy using the right almond milk.

Perfect taste, as usual.

Just opened my new pack and was immediately enveloped in the familiar, vibrant fragrance. The brew is just as perfect as every time with a sweet aroma and fresh aftertaste. This matcha has firmly established itself as one I can blindly trust.

Consistent quality

I just opened my 2nd pack today and am happy to report that the quality is just as immaculate as the previous order - a clean, bright green powder with a slightly sticky consistency which smells simply delightful right out of the pack. Matcha and other natural products can definitely vary in their taste and aroma based on the harvest, but seeing as I have zero complaints so far, I will continue supporting this brand.

Best Matcha in India by miles

Had really high expectations, and they were matched!

I am one happy customer for various reasons.

1. The quality is unbeatable at this price range, especially for the 100gms pack. This matcha is silky smooth and simply glorious to taste compared to all the other "premium" matchas I've been trying so far. I usually like my matcha with iced almond milk, but I've been happily sipping this one on its own because it is so good. I get a burst of the sweet "tea" aroma every time I open the pack which just lights up my mood instantly. The tea also blends like a dream and froths up so well even with just a fork. Just delightful, all around.
2. I like their approach of taking on limited quantities to deliver the freshest matcha to buyers. The quality is immediately evident, as explained in point #1.
3. I am very new to Heapwell, but their customer service already seems to be top-notch. I reached out on one of their social media videos with some queries and received a clear response within minutes which helped me place the right order.

So far they seem to be doing everything right (and better than everyone else I've tried) so I am more than happy to continue supporting them.
