A steady, clean energy boost with a peppery finish that lingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStory\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost matcha you find in tea bags is matcha \"dust\" — the leftover powder swept up at the end of the day. We don't blend that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur matcha and sencha both come from Japan. Matcha leaves are shade-grown for weeks before harvest, hand-selected, briefly steamed to stop fermentation, aged in cold storage, and finally stone-ground into the bright, vivid powder that gives this tea its color and energy. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan for a reason — bright, refreshing, uplifting, loaded with catechins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ayurvedic twist is the ginger. In India, ginger is what tea drinkers reach for when they want clarity without the jitter — and when matcha meets ginger root, the warmth softens the green vegetal edge into something balanced and revitalizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Taste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍵 \u003cstrong\u003eFirst sip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, grassy umami from the matcha and sencha\n🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eMid-palate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth green tea body — refreshing, never bitter\n🌶️ \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A warming, peppery ginger hum that lingers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur customers' favorite add-ins:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n- A drizzle of honey — softens the green edge\n- Fresh lemon — brightens the matcha\n- Warm oat milk — for a Matcha Ginger Latte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat water to 175–185°F (just under boiling — matcha doesn't love full boil).

Matcha and sencha are both green teas (Camellia sinensis) and naturally contain caffeine. The amount is moderate — less than a coffee, more than a chamomile tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the matcha from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\nBoth the matcha and the sencha green tea in this blend are sourced from Japan, where matcha cultivation has been refined for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is ginger in a matcha tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThis is the Ayurvedic twist.

This blend uses tea-bag matcha together with sencha leaves, so it brews like a cup of tea rather than a whisked bowl — easier for daily use, with the same energy lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I drink this iced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\nYes.
