How to Brew Matcha Tea
Matcha green tea can be prepared in two traditional styles depending on your preference. View our full Matcha brewing guide.
For Usucha (Thin Matcha), whisk 1.5 to 2g of matcha powder with 75ml of water at 60 - 70°C until a light foam forms. For Koicha (Thick Matcha), whisk 3.5 to 4g of matcha powder with 40ml of water at 60 - 70°C to create a rich, velvety brew.
For a stronger cup, use a little more tea and brew for a minute longer. For a lighter cup, simply reduce the leaf and shorten the steeping time. Feel free to experiment to find the balance that makes your perfect cup.
Prepare matcha green tea the traditional way using a bowl and bamboo whisk (chasen) for a smooth consistency. Explore our Matcha Essentials in the Teaware collection and learn about the Japanese tea ceremony in our Tea Journal.
Potential Health Benefits of Matcha
Matcha green tea is celebrated for its naturally high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins such as EGCG. Studies show that because the entire tea leaf is consumed, matcha provides a richer nutritional profile than standard brewed green tea, delivering higher levels of beneficial compounds including polyphenols and amino acids.
Many people enjoy matcha for its balanced caffeine content combined with L theanine, which helps promote calm focus, sustained energy and mental clarity without the sudden spikes associated with coffee. Matcha green tea is often included as part of a balanced lifestyle, supporting wellbeing, mindfulness and gentle daily vitality.
Origin and Craftsmanship
Our ceremonial matcha is produced in Ise Bay on Japan’s Pacific coast, a region with over 800 years of matcha heritage. The shaded cultivation, hand harvesting and stone grinding techniques are overseen by specialist Japanese tea farmers who view matcha as both an art and a cultural legacy.
For centuries, matcha has been enjoyed by monks, samurai and tea masters alike as a source of calm energy and focused awareness. Every caddy reflects that tradition, care and craftsmanship.

Perfect Matcha
"An excellent high quality ceremonial matcha, natural sweetness and vibrant grassy notes. Will definitely buy again."
"Great taste!"
I just love it!
"My favourite !"
Terrible packaging, waste of my money
"Lovely tea, but awful packaging The tea tasted great — the three cups I managed to save (at least) were lovely. But the packaging ruined the experience. First, the powder exploded everywhere when I opened the bag. Then the tin kept puffing out clouds every time I opened it, no matter how slowly or carefully I tried. No visible warning signs on packaging so you dont know what to expect the first time. Not worth the mess or the money."
