Ceremonial grade matcha starts with how the leaves are grown.Shaded from sunlight for several weeks before harvest, the plants slow down. Chlorophyll deepens, L-theanine builds, and the flavour that emerges is softer and more complex than anything grown in full light. Vegetal, buttery, fresh. A brightness you can see before you taste it.Stone ground slowly into a fine, vivid powder, it is made to be drunk rather than cooked with. Whisked into hot water it has real depth. Paired with milk it becomes something else entirely.The caffeine is there, but so is the L-theanine, the amino acid that occurs naturally in shade grown tea. The two work together in a way that feels measured rather than sharp.This is the matcha we serve across our four London venues. Now available to make at home.
