What is Matcha?

Matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves and whisked directly with water. Unlike traditional tea, the entire tea leaf is used, which gives matcha its characteristic flavor and intense green color.

Many integrate matcha into their morning routine or enjoy it as a conscious break in everyday life.

  • Ceremonial Matcha is the highest quality, finest variety – mild in taste and ideal for traditional preparation.
  • Traditional Matcha It is a bit stronger and more versatile, perfect for lattes, recipes and everyday use.

the low-caffeine alternative

What is Hojicha?

Hojicha is also a Japanese green tea – but it is roasted.

The roasting process produces:

  • a mild, nutty-caramel aroma
  • a significantly lower amount of caffeine

This makes Hojicha particularly interesting for anyone who:

  • prefer roasted tea flavors
  • I enjoy drinking tea in the afternoon or evening.
  • would like to discover a milder alternative to matcha
  • want to make their tea routine more varied
