Matcha tea

Originally from China, matcha has become a major tradition in Japan, particularly through the tea ceremony. Buddhist monks already used it to accompany their meditation.

Its three specific characteristics

It's a powdered green tea that is whisked, not steeped. It offers powerful benefits because the entire leaf is consumed, and it can also be used as an ingredient in cooking, in drinks as well as in recipes.

How do you prepare matcha tea?

Preparing matcha tea is not just about mixing a powder with hot water.

This Japanese ritual relies on a few precise steps that reveal all the subtlety of matcha: water at the right temperature, sifted powder, and energetic whisking for a light and creamy foam.

To do this, we recommend choosing our Original matcha or Vanilla matcha.

In just a few minutes, you can transform your break into a true moment of calm and concentration.

With quality matcha and the right accessories, preparing your matcha at home becomes a simple, daily pleasure.

100% Japanese matcha, cultivated with respect and expertise

All our matchas come from the Yabukita cultivar, known for its aromatic quality and rich umami.

The tea leaves are harvested in the Shizuoka and Kagoshima regions, renowned for their exceptional tea plantations.

The benefits of matcha tea ❤️

An exceptional concentration of antioxidants

One of the main benefits of matcha is its remarkable richness in antioxidants, particularly catechins like EGCG. Unlike infused tea, matcha is consumed as a fine powder, meaning the entire leaf is ingested. This peculiarity gives it a much higher concentration of polyphenols than classic green tea. These compounds help protect cells against oxidative stress and contribute to the overall proper functioning of the body.

A gentle and steady energy

Matcha naturally contains caffeine, but its effect is very different from that of coffee. Thanks to the presence of L-theanine, an amino acid developed during leaf shading, the energy is gradual and long-lasting. The result: stimulation without excessive nervousness or a sudden crash. This unique balance promotes concentration, creativity, and mental clarity.

Immune system support

Rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and zinc, matcha fits perfectly into a balanced routine. Its nutritional density makes it an interesting ally for supporting natural defenses, especially during seasonal changes.

An ally for the skin

Thanks to its high content of antioxidants, matcha helps combat the effects of oxidative stress on the skin. By protecting cells from free radicals, it helps preserve skin elasticity and maintain a radiant complexion. Its richness in chlorophyll also reinforces this "natural glow" dimension.

A partner in a weight management journey

Matcha is often associated with an active routine. Some studies suggest that catechins, especially EGCG, may support metabolism as part of a healthy lifestyle. It is not a miracle product, but an interesting supplement when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

A balance between relaxation and stimulation

The unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine provides a dual effect: it is both stimulating and soothing. This harmony explains why matcha was historically consumed by Buddhist monks during meditation. It promotes a state of calm alertness, conducive to refocusing and well-being.

An alkalizing and anti-inflammatory tea

Matcha naturally fits into a plant-rich diet. Its composition helps support acid-base balance and contributes to a holistic approach aimed at reducing chronic inflammation associated with modern lifestyles.
