What is Black Matcha?
Ceremonial Black Matcha Powder is made from shade-grown Gyokuro leaves—one of Japan’s most luxurious teas, prized for its mellow umami and smooth sweetness. These leaves are shaded for up to three weeks before harvest to increase L-theanine and chlorophyll, resulting in a uniquely rich flavour.
To create Black Matcha, the Tencha leaves are gently toasted, then stone-ground whole. This process delivers a more complex, full-bodied taste—without the fresh, grassy notes typical of traditional green matcha. The result is a deeper, darker expression of refined Japanese tea: bold, nuanced, and wonderfully distinctive, making it a perfect alternative to coffee.
