TEAME Matcha is sourced from Shizuoka, Japan — the country's most renowned tea-growing region, responsible for around 40% of Japan's total green tea production. Every blend is stone-ground from whole leaves with no additives or fillers.

First time buying matcha?

The only thing worth knowing upfront is the grade difference. Culinary grade is bolder in flavour — designed to be mixed with milk, honey, or blended into smoothies, it holds up well against other ingredients. Ceremonial grade is smoother and naturally sweeter, meant to be drunk as-is with just hot water, no milk needed.

For beginner matcha, start with Berry Matcha or Vanilla Matcha — both are approachable, smooth, and forgiving to make. Once comfortable with the flavour, Ceremonial Matcha is the natural next step if you want matcha from Japan at its purest.

• Origin: Shizuoka, Japan. Not blended or reconstituted after import. The same region supplies ceremonial matcha to tea houses across Japan.
• Grades available: Culinary, ceremonial, and naturally flavoured variants — Vanilla and Berry. Each is a distinct product for a distinct use case, not the same powder at different price points.
• No additives: No fillers, anti-caking agents, or artificial flavouring. The vanilla and berry variants use natural flavouring only.

Matcha has less caffeine than coffee — roughly 35–70mg per teaspoon versus 95–200mg per cup. The difference is L-theanine, an amino acid in matcha that slows caffeine absorption. Instead of a spike and crash, you get around 4–6 hours of steady focus without the jitters or the 3pm slump.

Matcha is also significantly less acidic than coffee. Most people who switched because of stomach issues report the difference within a week.

Neither is better for every situation. Coffee hits faster. Matcha lasts longer and is gentler. If you're drinking 3+ coffees a day and not sleeping well, it's worth trying matcha in your morning slot for two weeks.
