The healthy, green energy booster

Matcha is a Japanese drink made from finely ground, dried green tea leaves.

Due to its high caffeine, vitamin and antioxidant content, matcha is also known to be beneficial to health and provides a long-lasting, pleasant energy boost.

 

Matcha powder direct from Japan

Matcha originated in 16th century Kyoto when tea master Sen no Rikyu introduced the traditional tea ceremony.

Today, matcha is an elementary part of Japanese culture and is also becoming increasingly popular in Western cultures.

We source our Ceremonial-Grade Matcha powder directly from the tea-growing region of Uji near Kyoto, as it is considered one of the best tea-growing regions in Japan.

Our Ceremonial-Grade Matcha

  • Tea plantation in Uji, Kyoto | Matcha origin for MARU | Japanese Comfort Food in Zurich

    Origin

    Our matcha powder comes from Uji near Kyoto - one of the best tea regions in Japan with an ideal climate and nutrient-rich soil for high-quality tea leaves.

  • Matcha Tonic, Matcha Mango, Matcha Latte | MARU Japanese Comfort Food

    Flavor

    Our matcha is smooth, slightly sweet and pleasantly tart - with a fine umami note. Inferior matcha often simply tastes bitter and flat. The natural sweetness comes from the balanced structure of the amino acids in the tea.

    Preparation

    As early as the 16th century, tea master Sen-no-Rikyu laid down how matcha should be prepared - and much of this still applies today. At MARU, we carry on this tradition: your matcha is prepared by hand in a small tea ceremony using authentic techniques and traditional utensils.

    Color

    Our Matcha shines jade green - a sign of freshness and quality. Cheaper powder often looks dull and grayish. The more intense the green, the more chlorophyll and antioxidants the matcha contains - both known for their protective, cleansing properties.

    Texture

    Our matcha is extremely fine and silky - similar to baby powder. This texture shows that the leaf stems have been completely removed. This means that the powder dissolves easily in water and does not clump.
