Why we use bags, not tins

Our matcha comes in resealable, foil-lined bags - and that's a choice I made on purpose.

A printed tin looks lovely on a shelf. I know, but tins are expensive to make, and that cost always ends up on the customer. I'd rather skip it and put your money somewhere it matters more: better matcha, and a fairer price. The foil bag keeps everything just as fresh anyway.

I aim to spend more on what's inside the bag than on the bag itself.

And here's my favourite part - if you've got a tea canister at home, just pour your matcha straight into it. One less thing made, one less thing thrown away.

The one exception - Our Ceremonial tin

There is one tin I couldn't resist. Our ceremonial grade also comes in a beautiful Japanese canister. I picked these myself. They carry traditional Japanese design - not a big logo, because I'd rather hand you a real piece of Japanese tea culture than a branded marketing object. When the matcha's gone, the canister isn't. efill it, reuse it, keep it for years.

Where our tea comes from

We buy directly from family-owned farms in Uji (Kyoto) and Kagoshima, through importers we actually trust. Working close to the source means less waste, fairer pay for the people growing the tea, and honest answers when I ask how it's grown. We also keep our range small - just five grades so nothing gets overproduced.

The little things that add up

The 100g size - one big bag instead of three small ones is simply less packaging

Light shipping - recovered cardboard, eco-friendly paper, no oversized boxes, no plastic filler

Free shipping over $75 - it nudges everyone toward fewer, fuller orders — and fewer trips

Fair sourcing - we pay properly for real quality, so the people behind the tea are looked after

“Matcha made with care - for you, and for the planet”
