We source directly from single-origin farms in Kagoshima, Japan — one of the best matcha-growing regions in the world. No middlemen, no blends, no fluff. Just ceremonial-grade matcha that's shade-grown for 30 days and stone-milled slowly to preserve flavour and nutrients.
Ceremonial grade is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves — it's meant to be whisked with water and drunk straight. Culinary grade is coarser and more bitter, designed for lattes, baking, and cooking. Mitsu is ceremonial grade, so it's smooth enough to drink on its own.
Yes — matcha has about 30–70mg of caffeine per serving (vs. 90–120mg in coffee). But here's the key difference: matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that slows caffeine absorption and promotes calm focus. That's why matcha gives clean energy without the jitters or crash.
Keep it in an airtight tin away from light, heat, and moisture. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within 4–6 weeks for best flavour. Avoid exposing it to air for extended periods as matcha oxidises quickly.
Sift 1–1.5g (about 1 tsp) into a bowl. Add 60–70ml of hot water at around 75–80°C (not boiling — that kills the flavour). Whisk in a zig-zag motion with a chasen until frothy. Drink immediately. For a latte, add steamed oat or dairy milk.

Matcha contains less caffeine than coffee and the L-theanine helps buffer its effects. That said, if you're sensitive to caffeine, start with half a teaspoon and see how you feel. Avoid drinking it in the evening if you're caffeine-sensitive.
