Our Imperial Matcha is harvested from the prestigious tea-growing region of Uji in Kyoto, Japan. The tea bushes are shaded for several weeks prior to harvest, a technique that increases chlorophyll and theanine levels. This process enriches the tea's vibrant green hue and imparts a unique sweet and savory flavor.

Suggestion of preparation
Unlike other teas, matcha is ground to a fine powder. This green tea is not infused but beaten. It is prepared using a whisk, bowl, and spatula.
- Place 2 scoops of Imperial Matcha into a bowl.
- Pour over 70ml/2.4 fl oz of water heated to 70°C/158°F.
- Hold the bowl in one hand and, with the other, beat the tea sharply with a whisk until it forms a smooth foam. Once the matcha is foamy and blended, drink.
NB: we suggest you use an whisk for Matcha, to obtain the perfect rich foam!
You can also use cow’s milk or soya milk – it’s delicious!
