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.
Had the machine for about three years now. Drink matcha almost everyday, usually just straight. It's easy to use and maintain. The big selling point for me is that I'm getting freshly ground matcha so it's about as fresh as it could be.
My wife loves Cuzen matcha. It’s the best gift ever!
My wife purchased the Cuzen Matcha maker for Father's Day. It was love at first taste - high quality and delicious Matcha. We recently placed our first re-up order and are in the process of trying each of the single origin Matchas. Very pleased thus far!
I’ve been drinking Matcha for a few years and I’m so happy to find this machine and the Cuzen tea leaves. It taste so fresh every time. Absolutely love it.
