Why Matcha Became Popular

Matcha has taken the world by storm, but why now? Its rise in popularity is no surprise—people love its smooth, energy-boosting qualities and rich nutritional profile. In a world where we’re often searching for balance, matcha provides a natural, steady source of energy without the jitters.

Pure Matcha vs. Blended Matcha

Not all matcha is created equal. Pure matcha contains only ground green tea leaves, while some blends include sugar or other ingredients. We love pure matcha for its natural, earthy flavor and the full spectrum of health benefits it offers. If you’re new to matcha, start with pure to experience its true essence. Together, we can learn how to appreciate matcha in its most natural form.

Matcha and Your Empty Stomach: Mindful Tips

Starting your day with matcha on an empty stomach? This can be a great way to absorb its nutrients quickly, but be mindful of how your body feels. Some may find it too strong at first, so we suggest pairing it with a light snack, like a handful of nuts or a banana. Let’s listen to our bodies and find what works best for us—safely and naturally.

What is JAAS Certification and Why It Matters

Have you seen the JAAS certification on some matcha products? It’s a seal of quality from the Japanese Agricultural Standard, ensuring the tea is grown and processed to the highest standards. This is how you know you’re getting matcha that respects tradition, the environment, and your health.

The Importance of Organic Matcha

Choosing organic matcha is about more than taste—it’s about quality and health. Organic matcha is grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals, preserving the purity of the earth and the tea itself. When we choose organic, we choose to support natural processes, keeping the bond between nature and tea strong.
