Premium Health Japan - Your Authentic Source for Matcha
Welcome to Premium Health Japan, where our passion for matcha and its health benefits drives us. Our founder, Luke, a former qualified personal trainer and licensed professional boxing coach from Melbourne, has a personal connection to matcha stemming from his late mother's battle with cancer. Luke's background in training athletes for peak performance gave him a profound understanding of nutrition and the powerful health benefits of matcha.
Upon relocating to Japan, Luke was captivated by matcha's delicate flavor and potential health benefits. Consequently, at Premium Health Japan, we are devoted to sourcing only the finest organic matcha, and making it accessible to customers globally.
The Matcha Journey of Luke
Luke's exploration of matcha began in Japan, where he was invited to a tea ceremony that opened his eyes to the intricate world of matcha. Luke's mother's battle with cancer later propelled him to research more about green tea and its potential health benefits, leading to the discovery that matcha is one of the most potent superfoods globally, rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and amino acids.
Motivated by this knowledge and his passion for health and wellness, Luke set out to source the best matcha in Japan and make it available for people worldwide.
Our Partnerships with Historic Tea Farms in Kyoto
Unlike most matcha brands, we are based in Japan and can oversee all aspects of the leaf to cup process. We meet with the tea farmers themselves and inspect the tea fields, processing facilities, and strictly test all tea varieties before launching any products to market.
Many brands have never seen the tea fields or met the tea farmers they source from. Our attention to detail, and unique positioning in the industry is why we are a trusted source for authentic Japanese matcha.
The Quality of Matcha Produced by Premium Health Japan
Our company may have been established in 2022, but our partner tea farms have been in operation for centuries. We do our due diligence when it comes to partnering with any suppliers, much like they do on us.
We continue to build new relationships with potential new suppliers in Japan. At present, our suppliers are historic Kyoto tea plantations. One has been in operation for over 270 years, and the other for 155 years.
Our tea farms use traditional methods such as shade growing and stone grinding their matcha. They are also certified organic tea farms, so you can rest assured you are getting a pure product, free of any harmful chemicals or pesticides. Our products are also x-rayed for any impurities before they are ready for sale.
Organic Production at Our Matcha Farm
Our partner tea farms are among the few in Japan that produce organically grown tea. Organic farming requires careful management of the soil, ensuring that it can decompose fertilizer and avoid the use of agricultural chemicals that can damage soil microorganisms. This devotion to soil health is key to producing delicious, high-quality matcha.
The Cultural Significance of Chanoyu
At the heart of Japanese culture is the tea ceremony, or chanoyu, a celebration of mindfulness, simplicity, and harmony. At Premium Health Japan, we honor this tradition and strive to bring its values to our customers.
