Pure Matcha Vanilla

The Matcha is an exceptional Japanese green tea, ground into ultra-fine powder following an age-old tradition. Made from Camellia sinensis leaves, it comes exclusively from Japan, mainly from the Uji, Nishio and Kagoshima regions. Our Matcha Cérémonie Hisui is grown using ancestral methods: the tea bushes are shaded for 3 to 4 weeks before harvest, which helps develop chlorophyll and amino acids. The leaves are then steamed, dried and stone-ground using millstones to create this signature jade-green powder.

The culture of Matcha requires exceptional know-how. Our Japanese producers shade the tea plants with traditional shade cloths, reducing the light by 90%. This technique boosts the production of L-theanine and chlorophyll, giving matcha its intense green color and unique properties. Only the tender young shoots are hand-harvested in spring. After immediate steaming to stop oxidation, the leaves become “tencha,” which is slowly ground between granite millstones to preserve all the nutrients.

Our Vanilla Matcha combines the exceptional benefits of matcha with the soothing properties of Madagascar bourbon vanilla. Matcha contains a unique concentration of L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus and helps reduce stress. Rich in catechins and antioxidants (EGCG), it supports metabolism and helps strengthen your natural defenses. Bourbon vanilla brings comforting notes while naturally softening the bitterness. This perfect pairing offers stable energy without jitters, ideal for concentration and well-being.

The preparation of Matcha is an art that calls for precision. Use water at 70-80°C (never boiling!). Sift 1–2 bamboo scoops (chashaku) of powder into your bowl. Pour in 60ml of water and whisk vigorously with a chasen (bamboo whisk), using an “M” motion, until you get a creamy foam. Our bourbon vanilla unfolds beautifully at this temperature, creating the perfect balance between the matcha’s umami and vanilla sweetness. For a matcha latte, add warm plant-based milk after preparation.

Unlike the leaf green tea you steep and then remove, matcha is consumed entirely in powder form. This makes for a nutrition concentration up to 10 times higher: you ingest the whole leaf. The flavor profile is unique, too: pronounced umami notes, vegetal and mildly bitter, beautifully complemented by our bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, with its sweet and floral aromas. Matcha also contains more caffeine than a traditional green tea, but the L-theanine helps soften the effects for a gentle, lasting energy.

Matcha naturally contains caffeine (about 70mg for 2g of powder), so it is not recommended for children under 12 and should be consumed in moderation by pregnant and breastfeeding women (no more than one cup per day). Its richness in L-theanine, however, makes it a gentler alternative to coffee for adults who are sensitive to caffeine. Our bourbon vanilla brings a naturally delicious sweetness, but caffeine content remains a factor to consider depending on individual situations.

Matcha is very sensitive to light, heat, and moisture. Store it in the refrigerator in its original airtight packaging, away from light. Once opened, enjoy it within 6 months to fully appreciate its freshness and vibrant green color. Our metallic packaging provides optimal protection against oxidation. Remove only the amount you need and reseal immediately. Bourbon vanilla keeps its aromas under the same conditions, creating a long-lasting taste synergy.

A Premium Matcha Ceremony is recognized by its intense jade-green color, ultra-fine texture with no grains, and fresh, vegetal aroma. Our Matcha Hisui features a balanced bitterness and pronounced umami notes, perfectly enhanced by Madagascar Bourbon vanilla. Avoid yellowish or dull matchas—signs of poor storage. A true ceremonial matcha should create a creamy foam and offer a translucent jade liquor. Our direct selection from Japanese producers ensures authenticity and optimal freshness.
