Description

Hikari (光) means “light.” It’s a word often connected to softness, clarity, and a gentle glow.

That same feeling comes through in this matcha powder: smooth, delicate floral notes, and easy to enjoy from the first sip.

Blended from Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars grown in Shizuoka and Kagoshima.

How To Use

Perfect for Usucha (thin tea)

Step 1 - Scoop
Add 1 teaspoon, or about 2g, of matcha into your bowl.

💡Pro Tip: Sift your matcha first for a smoother cup with fewer clumps.

Step 2 - Add Hot Water
Pour in 60–70ml of hot water at 70–80°C (158–176°F). This helps protect the matcha’s delicate aroma and smooth flavour.

Step 3 - Whisk
Whisk quickly in a zig-zag motion, like an M or W shape, for 15–20 seconds until the matcha is fully dissolved and a light foam forms on top.

Step 4 - Enjoy!
Sip and enjoy immediately. Usucha is a traditional thin tea made to highlight the matcha’s natural aroma, umami, and clean finish.

Have Questions?

Good Morning, Answers

Here's everything you need to know about our matcha.

What is the best matcha?

There’s no single “best” matcha.

Each region of Japan offers something different, with its own flavour profile, character, and experience.

We focus on sourcing matcha with consistent quality while giving you the chance to explore the unique qualities each region has to offer.

Is ceremonial matcha always higher quality?

Not always.

Ceremonial matcha is usually best for usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea).

When we talk about grades, each has their own use case and not about it's quality.

What is a matcha cultivar?

For matcha, the cultivar can affect the flavour, aroma, colour, and texture of the tea. Some cultivars taste sweeter and smoother, while others may be more earthy, rich, floral, or bold.

This is one of the reasons not all matcha tastes the same. The region, growing method, shading, harvesting, and stone-milling all matter too, but the cultivar helps shape the matcha’s natural character from the very beginning.

What does latte grade or culinary matcha mean?

Latte grade matcha is perfect for mixing in milk since it can hold its flavour.

Will this taste bitter?

Like any matcha, the final taste depends on how much you use and how you prepare it.

Using too much powder or water that is too hot can make it taste more bitter.

Do I need to sift it first?

We highly recommend it.

Sifting helps break up small clumps so your matcha mixes more smoothly and gives you a better texture.

It only takes a few seconds and makes a big difference.

Which milk works best with this matcha?

That depends on your taste. Oat milk is a popular choice for a creamy texture, while dairy milk gives a rich and classic latte flavour.

Almond milk, soy milk, and coconut milk can also work.

We recommend trying a few to find your favourite.
