Blend J and Blend K
Both blends are sourced from Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. You’ll receive 1 x 20g pack of Blend J and 1 x 20g pack of Blend K.
As these blends are stone-milled, it's important to sift the matcha as part of your preparation to ensure the smoothest texture and best flavour.
Blend J: A smooth, umami-rich matcha with deep, complex flavours, ideal for tea lovers. Slightly more premium than our Fragrant Yame Blend, it offers a balanced, rich taste.
Blend K: Perfect for lattes, with a bold umami that shines through, whether you use dairy or oat milk.

How to Enjoy "J" and "K" Blend Matcha
Both blends are higher grade matcha that are stone-milled.
- Please SIFT before enjoying, as the stone-milling process results in extra fine particles which tend to clump up naturally.
- REFRIGERATE after opening to preserve freshness, and try to finish it within 2 weeks of opening to make the most of the fresh flavours.
- WATER TEMPERATURE is important. The umami notes are extracted at 75-80 degrees celsius, and the bitter notes are extracted around 95-100 degree celsius. For best results, we recommend brewing using water between 75-80 degrees celsius.

Make matcha your new morning ritual
Matcha is one of the few foods with meaningful amounts of L-theanine, an amino acid which helps to relax the mind and body, while boosting your focus.
Coupled with the small amount of caffeine in matcha, you experience a steady boost that provides focused energy for several hours without the typical jitters or caffeine crash you get with coffee.
