All about Matcha

eteaket Matcha is a ceremonial grade Japanese green tea ground to a fine green powder. Upon whisking it evokes fresh grassy meadows with an astringent edge and a satisfying jammy sweetness to finish. This tea is also considered to be crammed full of antioxidants and nutrients. Renowned for it’s reported health benefits as you consume the whole leaf, not just the liquor like other green teas. We source ours directly from a delightful farmer and his wife in Ujitawara, Kyoto, Japan.

Matcha Tools

Before we getting to making Matcha tea its important to have the right tools. There are a few implements which will help you along the way… Firstly, a Matcha Whisk is crucial to getting the perfect smooth frothy tea. Then there’s a Matcha spoon to measure just the right amount and a dedicated Matcha bowl can be very useful also. If you’re a matcha novice our Matcha Starter Kit has everything you need to kick off your matcha journey. You can also shop our brewing tools from our Edinburgh Tea Room.
