Purity. Depth. Tradition.
From the serene hills of Uji, Kyoto, comes our ceremonial-grade matcha, crafted in small batches and stone-ground to preserve its vibrant color, natural sweetness, and delicate aroma. Shade-grown for weeks before harvest, only the most tender first-flush tencha leaves are selected — capturing balance, calm, and precision in every cup.
The flavor is smooth, rich, and naturally sweet — full-bodied without bitterness, layered with refined umami that lingers softly.
Our partner farm in Kyoto has been perfecting the art of tea for over 160 years, carrying forward a legacy of refinement and authenticity. We personally met and partnered with the farmers in Japan to ensure every step — from cultivation to grinding — follows fair-trade practices, supporting their craft and community while preserving the integrity of true Japanese matcha.
Now, this exceptional matcha is available exclusively through Era — connecting centuries of craftsmanship with the modern ritual of mindful living.
Perfect for both traditional whisking and Kyoto-style café matcha lattes, it delivers a silky, balanced texture and unmistakable depth that defines genuine ceremonial quality.

Single-origin and traditionally made, it reflects the purity and precision of Japanese tea culture. Whether enjoyed on its own or as a modern matcha latte, this is matcha in its most authentic form — balanced, vibrant, and alive with quiet energy.

Care & Storage
Care & Storage
• Store your matcha in a cool, dry place, away from light, heat, and moisture to preserve its vibrant color and fresh aroma.
• Once opened, keep it tightly sealed in its tin or an airtight container.
• For best freshness, consume within 60 days of opening.
• Avoid using wet utensils when scooping matcha to prevent clumping or spoilage.
💡 Tip: Keep your matcha stored separately from strong-smelling items — it naturally absorbs scents around it.
