Matcha is a stone-ground, shade-grown Japanese green tea powder brimming with antioxidants and other health benefits. Matcha powder is whisked with water and served "thin" or "thick" depending on your taste preferences and the grade of the matcha powder.
Over the past few years, matcha has seen a surge in popularity due to its high caffeine levels and extraordinary health benefits. But not all matcha is created equal! Our matcha powder is ground freshly for us just before shipping and stored in airtight containers to maintain freshness. When buying matcha powder, be sure to look for a bright green powder that is pure, stone-ground green tea.
Here at our Tea Bar, we serve the Matcha Wakatake iced or hot with 16oz of water or as a latte with frothed whole or oat milk. For most matcha-drinkers, Wakatake is going to be the perfect choice.
Our Matcha Wako and Matcha Unkaku are ceremonial grade matcha powders. There are a couple differences between our Matcha Wakatake and the ceremonial-grade matcha. The first difference is where and how the tea is grown. The second is the resulting flavor profile, which calls for a ceremonial preparation. We recommend ceremonial-grade matcha to experienced matcha drinkers who prefer their matcha with less water and no honey or milk.
Since matcha is a powdered green tea, you will need a matcha whisk (traditionally called a matcha chasen) and a matcha bowl to make hot matcha at home. For iced matcha, you can use cold water to whisk the matcha in the traditional way with the matcha chasen and bowl, or you can swap out the traditional for a cocktail shaker. We recommend using a traditional matcha bamboo scoop to measure your matcha. Learn more about how to make matcha at home on our blog!

The traditional powdered ceremonial Japanese green tea, matcha has recently gained popularity in the west as a "super-food". As opposed to other teas where an infusion of the leaf is drunk, with matcha, the whole leaf is consumed. This, of course, means more antioxidants and more caffeine. Our Matcha Wako is enjoyed in thin tea preparation and is the second highest of the ceremonial grades (usucha, thin grade). It arrives vibrantly green and freshly sealed in airtight 20 gram tins which yield 12-14 servings.

Incredibly, Marukyu-Koyamaen began producing tea during the Genroku period (1688-1704) in Ogura, Uji. Part of the venerable tradition of Japanese green tea production (Ujuicha), over the ensuing centuries the quality of their tea has only increased. Still family-owned, their high standards are consistent from cultivation to the final product, forming the bedrock for their highly regarded reputation as one of the foremost producers of fine teas in Japan.

Matcha is a special type of Japanese green tea: a precious, jewel-green powder stone ground from hand-picked, high-grade Japanese tea leaves. It is traditionally whisked with hot water in a bowl to make a rich, healthful drink.
Our producer, Marukyu-Koyamaen, first began production of tea in the Genroku period (1688–1704) in Ogura, Uji. Through subsequent generations, the quality of the tea increased, thus establishing the venerable tradition of Ujicha; by the eighth generation, the market had been extended to all of Japan. A standard of high quality, consistent from cultivation to the final product, was achieved, and the company — still family-owned — remains highly esteemed. Marukyu-Koyamaen now ranks among the foremost producers of matcha in Japan, and has won many national prizes.
This superior grade can be used for thin or thick style matcha; for thin, use ~2g matcha and 1/3 cup hot water (190°F) per serving, and whisk vigorously with a chasen for about 20 seconds. Experiment with the amount of water to find your favorite formula.
