Where our tea comes from
Grown in part in Kagoshima, Japan.
Our blends include shade-grown tea from Kagoshima, in southern Kyūshū – one of Japan's largest tea-growing regions, known for its mild climate, early harvests and volcanic soils.
Our Premium Barista features Kagoshima Gyokuro from two cultivars: Yabukita, for a classic, structured flavour, and Saemidori, known for its softer character and rich umami. Blending helps us keep the same colour and flavour from order to order.

Why your customers want it
The drink health-conscious customers ask for.
More customers are choosing matcha over coffee and sugary drinks. Here's what's inside every serving.
L-theanine
A naturally occurring amino acid found in tea – the reason matcha is known for a calm, focused lift rather than a jittery one.
Natural caffeine
Around 68mg per serving – similar to an espresso, from a whole-leaf green tea.
Catechins
Matcha is naturally rich in catechins, including EGCG – the plant compounds green tea is best known for.
Chlorophyll
Shade-growing boosts chlorophyll, giving matcha its vivid green colour.
Whole-leaf goodness
Unlike brewed tea, the whole leaf is ground and drunk – nothing is strained away.
Matcha is a trending, better-for-you choice your customers already recognise. Put it on your menu.
