How to choose matcha?

Price

Ceremonial matcha is never cheap. Good quality tea usually costs from 100 AED for 50 grams.

Packaging

It should be vacuum and opaque to preserve the quality and beneficial properties of the tea.

Country of origin

Choose matcha produced in Japan, preferably from the Kyoto prefecture.

After purchasing, pay attention to the tea's aroma – it should be fresh with notes of flowers, chocolate, nuts, or vanilla. Matcha should be bright green in colour, as matcha of other colours does not exist.

Our matcha varieties are perfect for preparing delicious and healthy drinks, as well as for culinary use:
