Antioxidant Support

Matcha is a concentrated source of antioxidants, particularly rich in catechins. Among them, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) stands out for its potential health benefits, including reducing oxidative stress, supporting brain function and metabolism, and offering anti-inflammatory properties. Because matcha is made from finely ground tea leaves, it delivers significantly more of these antioxidants, containing up to 137 times more EGCG than regular green tea. The plants are shaded for about three weeks before harvest, a traditional process that increases chlorophyll, amino acids such as L-theanine, and antioxidant levels, particularly catechins.

Our café-grade matcha is a vibrant and versatile way to incorporate antioxidants into your day, whether through your daily cup of matcha tea or your favorite recipe. While slightly lower in concentration than ceremonial matcha, it's still a rich source of catechins like EGCG, thanks to the same shade-grown cultivation method. This blend combines first-harvest (early spring) and second-harvest (early summer) green tea leaves, achieving a balance between quality and flexibility. Smooth, fresh, and full of flavor, it's perfect for matcha lattes, baked goods, smoothies, or even savory dishes, making it an easy and creative way to enjoy the antioxidant properties of matcha green tea daily.

Enjoy the most antioxidant content with our ceremonial grade matcha, made exclusively from the youngest, first harvest spring leaves. These tender leaves are naturally packed with green tea catechins, especially EGCG, chlorophyll, and amino acids like L-theanine. This results in a vibrant green powder that offers the highest concentration of potent antioxidants among matcha grades. With its smooth, velvety texture and natural sweetness, free from any bitterness, ceremonial grade matcha is designed to be enjoyed traditionally, whisked simply with hot water. This classic preparation allows you to fully appreciate its pure, rich flavor while nourishing your body with natural antioxidants.

Sencha is naturally rich in powerful antioxidants, especially catechins like EGCG, which are known for supporting overall health. Because sencha is steamed immediately after harvest, it retains a high concentration of nutrients, including vitamin C and beta-carotene. When it comes from the first harvest, like in our blend, those younger leaves bring a cleaner taste and antioxidant activity that have numerous health benefits.

We've paired 90% organic first-harvest sencha with 10% organic ceremonial-grade matcha powder to create a blend that's both nourishing and smooth. The sencha infuses your cup with fresh, grassy brightness, while the matcha adds richness, umami, and a concentrated layer of antioxidants. And because it's all packed into a convenient tea bag, you can enjoy this green tea goodness whenever you need it, at home, at work, or during breaks between tasks.

Our matcha is both USDA and JAS certified organic, ensuring that what you're drinking is among the cleanest and most pristine matcha available from Japan. These certifications mean the tea is grown without synthetic pesticides, additives, or GMOs and contains no sugar, no gluten, and no additives, just pure, shade-grown green tea. This allows you to enjoy the natural, health-promoting properties of matcha in its most unadulterated form. Each batch of our sencha and matcha green tea undergoes independent testing for lead, heavy metals, radiation, and over 250 agricultural chemicals, ensuring you can trust the quality of our green tea powder. With regular consumption, this clean and carefully sourced matcha offers a steady supply of antioxidants and benefits, supporting your well-being.
