WHERE OUR TEA & MATCHA COME FROM?
Our teas are sourced directly from Japan, where our team regularly travels to visit independent tea farms and tea makers. We work closely with farmers who practice natural and organic farming methods, a rare approach that represents less than 1% of all agriculture in Japan.
By visiting farms in person and building long-term relationships with them, we are able to ensure all of our teas are with outstanding quality. Each tea is chosen for its origin, craftsmanship, and respect for the land, resulting in unique offerings that reflect both place and people.
WHAT MAKES OUR MATCHA POWDER SPECIAL?
Not all matcha is created equal.
Although many are labelled “matcha”, only a small number are actually grown in Japan, fewer still come from Uji, the birthplace of matcha, and only a rare fraction are organically cultivated.
It is estimated only 1% of matcha meets this rare standard. And we are proud to be part of that 1%.
We work with a 4th-generation family farm in Kyoto, where the 1st flush of shaded Tencha leaves milled into matcha with remarkable purity, depth, and balance. Each tin reflects centuries of craftsmanship & the respect to nature.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF MATCHA & TEA?
Imagine a drink not only nourishes your body but also your mind .
Matcha & Tea are natural powerhouse for your body and mind. Each cup delivers a wealth of health benefits, from the calm focus of L-theanine to the powerful antioxidants that protect your cells. It's your daily dose of tranquility and vitality, ready to fuel your best self.
Let customers speak for us
from 23 reviewsBeautiful teapot, very happy! Will purchase again.
An absolute delight!
So interesting and unusual being a roasted green tea but not as caramel/cacao as a Hojicha.
Unami being Hazelnut, popcorn and a touch of seaweed too.
Great product
Excellent service too
I always love genmaicha but this one is next level! The burst of aroma from the rice & the tea is so vivid yet so well balanced. Have it every evening now
Thanks for the demonstration and showing me how to find my golden ratio. It’s a next level experience and is fun! Look forward to seeing you again in the markets =)
First I heard of a ‘new tea’ and it’s a real new experience for me. Very refreshing!
Size just fit for my morning latte. Blends in with shape of my palm.
Love it! The finishing is amazing all made by hand. My fave pot now =)
Such good value!! All of the teas from this set are super high quality and tastes delicious :)
BEST green tea I've ever tried, very impressed by its sweetness
First time user of small Japanese teapot, surprisingly smooth and easy to handle, can’t go back to the big teapots now
I tried a cold brew shincha at the market and it rocked my world. I’ve never tasted a green tea like this before, sweet, refreshing and not a bit bitter. If you think you know green tea, this will make you think again!
Tried the AOI matcha powder. One of the best I have had in a while in Australia. Feel so good and so easy to prep at home. Always enjoying cafe matcha at home ♥️
Very smooth and great quality.
Came across Poems at our local market and met these lovely tea enthusiasts who introduced me to sipping Matsu matcha straight (I usually have mine with milk!). As promised, the chocolate notes really came through and lingered with a creamy finish. Super enjoyable!
Tried all 3 matcha powder.
Matsu surprised me with a smooth, creamy texture and a subtle milk chocolate note. There’s a nice balance of umami and a gentle sweetness that makes it really enjoyable. It works beautifully on its own as Usucha, but shines even better in lattes. The creaminess and chocolate-like depth really come through.
Tried all 3 matcha powders. This AOI Matcha, feels best when used in lattes or mixed into drinks and even desserts. It’s got a strong, punchy matcha taste, vegetal and a bit astringent, which actually works well when you’re pairing it with milk or sweetness. The flavour really cuts through and holds its own.
