Origin & Cultivar
This matcha is the result of a tea master’s careful cultivar selection, centered around Saemidori and Okumidori. 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.

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.
