What our experts say...
I absolutely loved the matcha. The great quality is evident in the vibrant green taste and sweet flavour. It was so lovely to start the day with, and I’ll absolutely be buying this matcha in the future. Plastic free compostable packaging and postage was an extra added bonus – thank you for making a great product. It is wonderful to read of companies working with organisations to protect our oceans and actively taking part in caring for our earth. I particularly loved to learn of the beach clean ups and sea shepherd alliance.

Smooth, not bitter at all, and even slightly sweet, this is an incredibly high quality matcha. I have become absolutely hooked on starting the day with my delicious bright green lattes. Matcha contains all the health benefits of drinking green tea except in a higher concentration as you are actually consuming the whole leaf. I love that these come from a single origin source and are in home compostable packaging.

What I love about this Matcha latte is that it doesn’t have that strong, overly-vegetal taste that some have. The taste is subtle yet well rounded, and I’ve really enjoyed whisking it with oat milk. I just love the Japanese ritual of preparation (and it’s been lovely to bring out my old matcha whisker… a purchase from long back!) I love that the green tea is organic and sourced ethically from Japan and that the brand makes extra efforts to be zero waste and use a carbon neutral delivery service.

The fine, organic, vibrant green powder brings Japan to you through a wonderful antioxidant rich and caffeine containing cuppa. The addition of water and milk does not dull the matcha’s glorious pastoral tones, nor does it mask the grassy scents or subtle vegetal flavours of this smooth and creamy drink.
