What is matcha?
What is matcha?
Matcha powder is made from tencha, a green tea leaf that is shade-grown for around three weeks. The leaves are steamed and dried after harvest and are not rolled like other tea leaves. The stems are also removed.
Why shading?
Why shading?
Shading is a crucial step in matcha production. The limited exposure to sunlight allows the plant to maintain higher levels of L-theanine, which are responsible for the tea's savory, brothy flavor (umami). Shading also increases chlorophyll in the leaves because photosynthesis intensifies as sunlight is reduced. This results in more vibrant and green tea leaves.

Why Cuzen tea leaf?
-
Certified organic
Only a small percentage of Japanese tea farms are fully organic. We make sure to source our shade-grown, whole matcha leaves from organic farmers, because we know that when you drink matcha, you are consuming the entire leaf.
-
Made for the Cuzen Matcha Maker
The size, shape and fully-roasted condition of our leaves are optimized to work with the compact ceramic mill inside our Cuzen Matcha Maker.
-
Limited access
Typically, tea farmers only sell whole matcha leaves to tea companies, who in turn only offer pre-ground matcha to customers. We deliver our whole leaves directly to Cuzenists, in a state where oxidation is minimized, and health benefits can be optimized.
-
A nurturing practice
We’re proud to work with farming partners who use only natural pest deterrents and organic fertilizers. They not only yield a more nutritious and flavorful leaf, they also take care of our shared planet.
-
A quality, fresh cup at home
Convenient, delicious and easy on the wallet, our matcha costs about one dollar per shot, so the initial investment is covered very quickly.
Grown in a special place
The farms, located in the Kirishima area (literally “fog island”) of Kagoshima Prefecture, are terrific natural environments for tea growth. The high altitude means fewer insects can live there, plus there’s usually a good amount of moisture in the air and plenty of sun, which help to produce healthy leaves.

It’s my new favourite thing to have matcha with the machine.
It makes me to feel refreshing so I like it so much.
プレミアム抹茶リーフを半年以上継続して頼んでいますが、味は美味しく量も丁度いいので素晴らしいです。
ドリンクを作るのもボタン一つでできて掃除も簡単なので楽で助かります。
ただ最近は何度掃除してもスクリューの根元と臼の間にリーフが詰まりモーターが回らずエラーが多発するようになってしまったのでいつ壊れるか不安ではあります。
貴重なご意見をいただきありがとうございます!
最近エラーが頻出するようになったとのこと。カスタマーサポートで解決に向けお手伝い申し上げますので、ぜひjapan@cuzenmatcha.comへご連絡下さい。
夏のアイス抹茶はとても美味しく頂いております。出来れば冬のホット抹茶も飲みたい。やはり日本人にとって抹茶は温かい飲み物なので。次なる開発に期待して星四つとしました
ホットでお楽しみにいただくには、まず常温の水で抹茶ショットを作り、お湯や温めたミルクで割るのがおすすめです。常温の水を使うことで、うまみのある抹茶ができます。
また、専用カップにお湯を入れて頂くことも可能です。その場合は、80℃以下の(沸騰してない)お湯をお使いください。
