Ingredients

Organic matcha leaves

Our matcha has no additives or sweeteners—only certified organic tea leaves.

Origin

Japan

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?

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.

  3. 03

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.

  • In a kitchen, a person pours a packet of Signature Matcha Leaf into the Matcha Maker’s hopper.

    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.

  • A saucerful of bright and deep green matcha leaves, with a bamboo scoop resting on top.

    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 close photo of the dark, rich soil between two rows of tea plants.

    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.
