Tips for Tea Connoisseurs 

Matcha Foundation comes from an award-winning, historical tea garden in Uji, Japan. For those who haven't been to Japan, Uji is the birthplace of Japanese green tea where many celebrated Japanese tea gardens are located and reputed to produce the best Matcha throughout the whole of the Japanese archipelago. 

Our Matcha Foundation is a single-estate matcha made from carefully 4 weeks shade-grown, hand-picked tea leaves of Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars. 

On the nose of dry matcha, it offers sweet aroma such as baked custard based desserts. Once prepared as Usucha (thin matcha), Matcha Foundation offers a wonderfully smooth, mellow infusion with long lasting buttery, nutty, milky flavour.  

Matcha is one of the superfoods known to be highly rich in antioxidants and amino acids. Explore our range of top ceremonial grade Matcha to find your favourite daily matcha and enhance your daily vitality. Being so smooth, mellow and well-rounded, our delicious single-estate Matcha Foundation will be your perfect daily companion to boost your immune system and sense of well-being. 

For Matcha connoisseurs, we highly recommend trying to experience the difference of our top ceremonial grade single-estate, single-cultivar Matcha - Matcha Yabukita, Matcha Uji Hikari and Matcha Samidori.

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a finely grounded powdered green tea, made from tea leaves shade-grown for 3-6 weeks before the harvest. Due to its limited exposure to the sunshine, tea plants undergo a chain of physiological changes in order to survive, which, in turn, results in the changes of the chemical composition of the tea leaves. Produced this way, Matcha tea is extremely rich in antioxidants and L-theanine.
