Farmed by fourth-generation producers, our matcha is organically grown with a low-impact approach. The Wabi Tea offering comes straight from the fertile terroir of Japan to your bowl, with all steps from farming to milling occurring at the source. Our matcha tea is also single cultivar, ensuring consistency and the distinct umami flavour we prefer.

Ceremonial grade matcha refers to the highest echelon of matcha quality, intended for Japanese tea rituals and mindful sipping. Only the youngest, most tender shade-grown leaves are utilised at Wabi Tea, with the highest concentration of chlorophyll [reflected in the vibrant green hue] and a smooth, delicate green tea powder as a result.

Originally in Japan, ‘tencha’ [tea leaves produced for grinding into matcha] was ground on small stone mills by hand for personal use and in traditional tea ceremony. The matcha was milled for purpose in small portions, making only what was necessary for the present moment. This meant oxidisation was minimal and freshly ground matcha remained in the most potent state possible. It is the reason why our ceremonial matcha is ground to order in a small batch offering of 30g size, to maintain in a sense this tradition and a reverence for this pure, vibrant untainted green matter. Consuming high grade matcha this way means you are receiving the most vibrant matcha possible outside of Japan, the maximum health benefits and overall a far superior sensory matcha tea experience.

Our high-grade matcha is Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) certified organic. Grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, our master tea farmers emphasise biodiversity in their fields, stewarding land and soil and maintaining a true representation of what tea should taste like – artfully farmed in tune with nature.

To retain the freshness, flavour and overall matcha benefits, our tea is ground to order [at the source]. Our partner farmers traditionally stone mill the green tea leaves, maintaining nutritional integrity and reducing the risk of oxidation [which leads to dull colour]. Wabi Tea matcha powder is smooth, alive and energetic, available in foil refill bags designed for 30-day use.

Beyond an avenue for mindful sipping and meditation, matcha green tea is laden with proven health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and chlorophyll, it detoxifies and supports immunity and digestive health. The potent combination of L-theanine [an amino acid found in tea leaves] and caffeine offers a smooth and steady, sustained energy boost without the crash. A source of energy and calm focus throughout the day.
