Three families · 1,200 years
Straight from the true origin of matcha to your cup
Matcha was born in Jingshan, China, more than 1,200 years ago — long before it ever reached Japan. And that's still where it is grown today.
We work directly with three families who grow matcha in the Jingshan mountains following the same traditional method, generation after generation. No middlemen, no private labels: the matcha they grow is the matcha that ends up in your cup.
Each 100 g pouch yields 50 to 100 cups, depending on your ritual.
Ceremonial vs culinary matcha which one fits you?
Same origin, different purpose. Ceremonial is first-harvest matcha — soft and vibrant, made for the cup or a light latte. Culinary is stronger and heat-resistant: ideal for baking, smoothies and creamy milk-based drinks.

Your daily ritual, the way it should be
Matcha is not coffee — it isn't meant to be rushed. 1 g (half a teaspoon), 70 ml of water at 75 °C and a couple of minutes of your day. A 100 g pouch gives you up to 100 cups of real matcha. That is what we call quality per euro.

Which is the best matcha tea? Four reliable signs
You don't need to be an expert. These four signals tell real matcha apart from a generic green powder:
Vibrant green colour
A bright green means the chlorophyll is intact and the leaves were properly shaded before harvest. A dull or yellowish green usually points to old or low-grade matcha.
Ultra-fine texture
Stone-ground to between 5 and 10 microns. It feels silky to the touch and dissolves without lumps. If it feels gritty, it's industrial powder.
Fresh vegetal aroma
Notes of freshly cut leaf, slightly sweet and herbaceous. If it smells like hay or tobacco, it has lost its freshness.
Origin and traceability
The producer should be able to tell you the harvest, the grade and the region. Without that information, there is no quality guarantee.
Organic matcha tea EU and USDA certified
Grown with no chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Every batch goes through purity controls to comply simultaneously with the European organic farming regulation and the USDA Organic standard.
Origin Jingshan mountains
Jingshan is a mountainous region of Hangzhou with over a thousand years of shaded green tea tradition. Altitude, mist and mineral-rich soils give matcha a clean aromatic profile, with natural sweetness and pronounced umami.
- Altitude: 600–1,000 m above sea level
- Soil: mineral, iron-rich
- Shading: 21 days before harvest
- Grinding: traditional granite stone
- Time: ~1 h to produce 30 g of powder

Frequently asked questions about matcha tea
What is the difference between ceremonial and culinary matcha?
Ceremonial matcha comes from the first harvest, with young leaves ground more finely. Soft and sweet on the palate, ideal on its own or in a light latte. Culinary matcha is more intense, made to be blended with milk, used in baking or in smoothies where you want the flavour to come through.
How much matcha should I use per cup?
The standard dose is 1-2 g (half a teaspoon) per 70-100 ml of water at 75–80 °C. For a latte, go up to 2 g and combine with 150-200 ml of hot milk.
Does matcha contain caffeine?
Yes, around 30-35 mg per cup. Combined with L-theanine, the energy is steady and jitter-free, unlike coffee.
How should I store it to keep the quality?
Vacuum-sealed pouch, in a cool, dry and dark place. Once opened, ideally consume within 4-6 weeks to preserve aroma and colour.
Is Matcha Zen matcha really organic?
Yes. It carries dual certification: EU Organic (Regulation EC 2018/848) and USDA Organic. Each batch is tested to guarantee no pesticides or heavy metals.
Can I make matcha latte with plant-based milk?
Yes. It works very well with oat, soy and almond. We recommend barista versions for better texture and foam.
