Origin

Grown with patience. Made with care.

Our tencha is grown in the shaded fields of Uji, near Kyoto—one of Japan’s most respected matcha-growing regions. Each spring, young leaves are carefully harvested, steamed, dried and slowly stone-milled into a fine, vibrant green powder.

Shade-growing encourages the naturally sweet, rounded flavour and rich colour associated with high-quality ceremonial matcha. It is a slower process from the beginning, and one worth preserving.

The ritual

A few minutes, kept for yourself.

A simple ritual for an unhurried morning.

Warm water, just below boiling. A bamboo whisk, moved lightly until the matcha becomes smooth and softly foamed. It is a simple process—one that asks you to be present for it.

Philosophy

MEZAME means to awaken.

Not all mornings begin at the same pace. MEZAME is a small pause before the day begins—a bowl of matcha, made with care and enjoyed in your own time.

It is a simple way to wake up: steady, present and without rushing.
