Korean Matcha - Grade A

$69.95
| /

This Grade A Korean Matcha is a vibrant, high-quality powdered green tea sourced from the coastal tea fields of South Korea. Grown in rich volcanic soil and harvested in early spring, it offers a clean, herbaceous profile that sets it apart from its Japanese counterparts—bright, slightly savoury, and refreshingly smooth.

While not ceremonial-grade, this matcha is made from first flush, shade-grown leaves, finely ground to a smooth powder suitable for a wide range of applications. Its solid green colour and balanced taste make it ideal for everyday drinking and versatile use in lattes, smoothies, baking, and premium culinary creations.

Certified organic under the Korean Organic Certification Programme, this tea is grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides. Each batch is crafted with care using traditional cultivation methods and minimal processing, preserving the natural nutrients and character of the leaf.

Sold in bulk format, this matcha is perfect for hospitality, production use, or retail refill programs. Its freshness, colour, and flavour hold exceptionally well, offering a reliable and high-grade ingredient for daily use.

  • How to Prepare Your Matcha

    • Warm Your Tools
      Fill your matcha bowl (chawan) with warm water and soak your bamboo whisk (chasen) for about 30 seconds. This softens the bristles, prevents breakage, and warms the bowl for smoother whisking. Empty the bowl and dry it gently.

      TIP | After use, store your whisk on the whisk holder (kusenaoshi) to keep its shape and extend its life.
    • Measure & Sift
      Use your bamboo scoop (chashaku) to measure about 2 grams of matcha (1-2 scoops) and sift it into the warm, dry bowl. Sifting removes any clumps and ensures a silky texture.

      TIP | follow these directions to enjoy all powdered tea.
    • Add Water & Whisk
      Add a small amount (10-20 ml) of cool or lukewarm water to the sifted matcha and gently stir with the whisk until a smooth paste forms. Pour in approximately 70-80 ml of hot water (around 80°C) and whisk briskly in a zig-zag or “M” motion until a fine, velvety foam appears on the surface. Finish here and enjoy immediately if you're drinking pure matcha.
    • For a Latte
      To enjoy as a latte, simply top your whisked matcha with warm, frothed milk for a comforting matcha latte - or pour it over ice with cold milk for a refreshing iced matcha latte. Adjust sweetness to taste if desired.

Luxury Eco Tea Bags

Luxury Eco Tea Bags

Our tea bags are made from a biodegradable plant based material called Soilon. We don’t use dirty plastic!
Our tea bags are totally compostable but please allow a bit more time for your tea bags to break down, they do take just a little longer to decompose than everyday composable items. Our Soilon bags have met all compostability standards in Japan, Europe and North America but our manufacturers suggest commercial composting to reduce this extended time to breakdown.

If you don't have the time to wait, why not switch to trying our loose leaf teas that start to break immediately? We have a lot more blends to choose from and it is so easy to use with a specially designed infuser.

Tea bags come both in Boutique Jars and 40 or 80 refill pouches.
