Ceremonial Matcha

Matcha tea is revered in Japan.

The tea is in fact so highly prized that it enjoys its very own ceremony and its very own room. The room is called ‘Chashitsu’ and it is from this that we take our name.

An intrinsic and influential part of Japanese tradition, the ceremony ensures Matcha is prepared with due attention and care

We chose this beauty on our trip to Japan in 2019.  This Matcha is the premium plant cultivar and was awarded ‘Ceremonial’ grade.

Striking in appearance, incredibly vibrant, fresh and green

Picked from the tea field in the first weeks of spring

HEALTH BENEFITS
The health benefits of Matcha are nothing less than extraordinary. Matcha has caffeine and no doubt you know this boosts metabolism and concentration, lifts mood and helps reduce cholesterol.

However, Matcha has a special secret to keep you from the ‘crash’ at the end of a caffeine fix…. On planet Earth an amino acid can be found called L-theanine. But L-theanine is only found in one place… the tea leaf! It is the presence of this amino acid that counter-balances the caffeine to keep your focus and alertness smooth and consistent.

Research shows Matcha can reduce or moderate stress – perfect for the hard-working!

Here is the breakdown of the health properties present in 1 cup of Matcha :
