Original Matcha

Our Original Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese tea craftsmanship. Sourced from historic Wazuka, this Uji matcha is crafted exclusively from leaves picked during the first, spring harvest (shincha). Only the youngest, most tender top tencha leaves are selected, shade-grown for at least 21 days to maximize their chlorophyll and L-Theanine levels, and subsequently stone-milled meticulously to perfection. This slow, artisanal process preserves the matcha's vibrant emerald-green hue and yields a velvety, smooth texture with a naturally sweet, creamy umami flavour profile that is completely free of any bitter undertones.

Yes, Ghost Matcha Original is 100% certified organic by the Soil Association - recognised as the gold standard for organic produce. Because drinking matcha involves consuming the entire stone-ground green tea leaf - rather than simply an infusion brewed with loose leaf tea - absolute organic purity is paramount. Our trusted tea growers in Wazuka use farming methods that conform to the Soil Association's rigorous set of standards, as well as EU regulations to ensure your daily tea ritual is entirely clean and packed with vibrant antioxidants, amino acids and nutrients.

Our Original Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha is crafted from the youngest, stone-milled first flush spring leaves and is therefore exceptionally potent and positively charged with natural antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients. Unlike coffee, which triggers sudden spikes and jittery crashes, ceremonial grade matcha can provide several hours of calm, sustained focus. This steady energy profile is driven by a high concentration of L-Theanine, a rare amino acid that naturally promotes alpha brain waves and relaxation while working in harmony with a trace amount of caffeine. Additionally, because you ingest the entire shade-grown leaf rather than a lighter infusion, every bowl delivers a powerful dose of EGCG catechins to support your daily metabolism and clean cellular health.
