Ocha & Co. Japanese Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder
A blend of first flush green leaves from Yakubita & Okumidori cultivars are picked young, then quickly steamed to seal in the goodness. The 100% natural, shade-grown leaves are then turned into Match powder using a traditional grindstone - nothing else is added. Smooth, balanced and without the bitterness of lower quality Matcha. If you prefer not to drink Matcha straight; smoothies, lattes or frappuccino are great with almond or coconut milk. We are presently hooked on lattes made with a touch of white chocolate syrup. Great feedback from satisfied customers who are pleased with the reasonable cost for a Matcha of this quality.
Small batches are shipped from the tea farm weekly to ensure long shelf-life. Teas from Ocha & Co. were selected to represent Japan at the 2015 Speciality & Fine Food Fair at Olympia in London. A Sencha from the plantation also won first prize in the 46th Japanese Ministry of Agriculture tea competition which is Japan`s top prize for tea blenders.

The teas have been selected to strike a balance between quality and affordability. Some teas are now available for Amazon FBA fulfilment but if not, are shipped Airmail the same day and only take between 7-10 days to arrive from Japan.
- What Makes Our Shizuoka Organic Matcha (有機抹茶) Special? Sourced from the prestigious tea gardens of our farm in Shizuoka, our Ceremonial Grade (Tokujō 特上) matcha is made exclusively from the Gokou cultivar, a rare and highly prized variety known for its deep umami, natural sweetness, and smooth finish. Carefully shade-grown to enhance its rich flavor profile, our green tea leaves (tencha) are traditionally stone-milled, preserving their vibrant color, balanced taste, and delicate aroma.
- Ceremonial Grade (Tokujō 特上): We classify our matcha into three grades, each crafted for a unique experience. Discover our 100% Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha, ideal for both beginners and green tea enthusiasts. Created by the renowned master Suzuki San, this premium matcha is shade-grown to preserve L-theanine and enhance chlorophyll levels, resulting in a naturally sweeter, umami-rich flavor. It is completely gluten-free and sugar-free, staying true to its pure and authentic origins.
- We Want to Help You Enjoy Matcha: Whether in traditional tea, a latte, or any other way, we believe there is no right or wrong way to enjoy it. Our 100g package yields a total of 50 servings. With 2g of matcha, you can prepare a cup of usucha (light tea) or a creamy matcha latte. Unlike coffee, which causes energy spikes, our matcha is rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that balances caffeine, providing sustained energy, focus, and relaxation.
