Stillwater | Ceremonial Matcha

Shade Grown | Ceremonial Grade

A luminous Japanese ceremonial matcha made for quiet focus, purposeful mornings and the work ahead. Shade-grown, first-harvest tencha is slowly stone-milled for a silky whisk, creamy body and vibrant green cup.

Tasting Profile

Sweet umami, fresh young greens and a smooth, creamy body. Subtle notes of steamed spinach and tender nori lead to a lingering honeyed finish with low bitterness.

Origin & Craft

Japan | Typical tea elevations: 300 to 2,000 ft

The tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvest to deepen color, sweetness and umami. Tender first-harvest leaves are hand-plucked, steamed to prevent oxidation, dried and de-stemmed into tencha, then slowly stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder.

Composition

100% matcha

Made from single-cultivar and select-cultivar blends of shade-grown, first-flush tencha chosen for aroma, color, sweetness and a balanced finish.
