The Science

Antioxidants

Matcha is naturally rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins like EGCG, which help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Because the whole leaf is consumed, matcha delivers a higher concentration of beneficial compounds than traditional brewed green tea.

Sustained Energy

Matcha contains a unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine, creating a state of calm, sustained energy.

L-theanine slows caffeine absorption, helping to reduce jitters while supporting focus, clarity, and mental balance, for longer.

Chlorophyll & Natural Properties

Shade-growing increases chlorophyll levels, giving matcha its vibrant green colour and supporting its natural properties.

Chlorophyll is associated with helping the body’s natural detox processes, while contributing to matcha’s fresh, clean profile.

Why "Ceremonial Grade" Matters

“Ceremonial grade” is not a regulated term, but is commonly used to describe matcha made from the highest quality first-harvest leaves, traditionally enjoyed on its own.

  • First harvest leaves, rich in nutrients
  • Shade-grown for higher chlorophyll and L-theanine
  • Smooth, naturally sweet with minimal bitterness
  • Vibrant green colour indicating freshness
