Matcha Kagoshima

Ceremonial Matcha, by The Tea House, is a premium green tea direct from Kagoshima in Japan.

Tea plants destined for matcha cultivation are shade-grown to promote exceptionally high concentrations of chlorophyll, amino acids and caffeine.  Matcha is also rich in antioxidants.

Only first growth leaves, ichibancha, are selected, steamed, dried and meticulously stone-milled to a fine powder.  Matcha Kagoshima is verdant green in colour with intense umami notes and a smooth finish with a classic hint of prized bitterness.

The perfect morning beverage, with slow releasing caffeine to keep you going.  This is matcha at its peak.  A little goes a long way, so head to our brew guide for all you need to know. 

The Tea House Matcha Kagoshima is a careful blend of six tea cultivars:

• Yutakamidori – full-bodied, robust, with an intentional hint of sharp bitterness
• Saemidori – glowing emerald-green color with a lively, naturally sweet, and floral flavor with very low bitterness and a clean finish
• Yabukita – classic Japanese cultivar providing a highly traditional, balanced, savory, and slightly brisk profile
• Asanoka – highly aromatic and refreshing, it balances herbal clarity with crisp sweetness
• Kanayamidori – unique and complex, boasting an earthy vibe, high in amino acids with a delicate sweetness
• Okumidori – deep, dark forest green with a calm, rich umami, and creamy finish. Smooth and mellow it is highly prized for meditative, ceremonial brewing
