Not sure where to begin?
If you're starting out, a smooth organic ceremonial blend is the most forgiving place to begin — gentle, naturally sweet, and easy to whisk. Single cultivars are the next step once you know what you like.

From the farms we visit
Shade-grown, and some of it picked by hand
Matcha begins under shade. In the weeks before harvest, the bushes are covered to slow growth and concentrate the chlorophyll and amino acids that give matcha its deep green color and rounded umami.
For our hand-picked single cultivars, the youngest leaves are gathered by hand rather than machine — slower, more selective, and increasingly rare. We've stood in these fields ourselves, choosing the farms we work with in Uji and other respected regions across Japan, then having the leaf milled and packed in Japan.
It's a small range, kept deliberately so. We'd rather offer a handful of teas we can stand behind than a wall of options.

Japanese matcha, explained
What is Japanese matcha?
Japanese matcha is a finely ground green tea powder made from shade-grown leaves. For several weeks before harvest the plants are shaded to raise chlorophyll, amino acids, and aroma; the leaves are then steamed, dried into tencha, and stone-ground into a fine powder on traditional granite mills.
Unlike brewed green tea, matcha is whisked with hot water and consumed whole. That's what gives it an intense green color, a smooth texture, and a balance of umami, natural sweetness, and gentle bitterness.
How do you prepare and drink it?
Most people start with the traditional bowl: sift the powder, add hot water, and whisk with a bamboo whisk (chasen) until smooth and lightly frothy. Matcha is best enjoyed right after preparation, while its aroma and texture are at their peak.
It's just as at home in modern recipes — whisked with milk as a matcha latte, or blended into smoothies, desserts, and baking. Because matcha contains both caffeine and L-theanine, many people enjoy a single bowl as a calm, focused daily ritual rather than several cups at once.
Ceremonial grade vs culinary grade — what's the difference?
These terms aren't formally regulated in Japan, but they're a useful guide. Ceremonial-grade matcha is made from younger leaves and selected tencha — smooth enough to drink on its own, with low bitterness and a vivid green color. Culinary-grade matcha uses later leaf and a more robust profile that holds up in lattes, smoothies, and baking.
Our range focuses on high-grade matcha suited to drinking, with options that also perform well in modern recipes. Read our full guide to matcha grades →
How is your matcha made?
All of our matcha is stone-ground on traditional mills in Japan. Each stone mill produces only a small amount of matcha per hour — a slow process that preserves aroma, color, and a fine, smooth texture that whisks into a creamy bowl.
We work in small batches to keep it fresh, since ground tea is sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen. Everything is milled and packed in Japan, then shipped from Japan and overseas hubs for reliable delivery.
Why choose Premium Health Japan?
We're based in Kyoto and work directly with independent tea producers in Uji, Wazuka, and surrounding regions. Our matcha is milled and packed in Japan, then shipped worldwide for freshness and reliable delivery.
We focus on transparency, seasonal sourcing, and clear product categories — so whether you're new to matcha or exploring more refined styles, you can choose with confidence.
