Meiso Ceremonial Matcha (100g) – Gold Award Japanese First Harvest

Japanese Ceremonial Grade Matcha Blend

Namisan's Meiso Matcha is from Kyushu Island, Japan, delivering smooth umami, high L-theanine content, and zero bitterness.

Shift from the morning hustle to a deliberate, stone-ground ritual that honours your need for presence.

• First-Harvest: Handpicked exclusively from young, shade-grown leaves in Kyushu for a vibrant, non-bitter profile.
• Complex Cultivar Blend: A meticulous fusion of Okumidori, Yabukita, Tsuyuhikari, and Saemidori cultivars for professional-grade umami.
• Sustained Energy: High L-theanine content harmonises with natural caffeine for 4–6 hours of focused presence without the coffee crash.

A Tradition That Won't Be Rushed

In a world of 'instant,' we choose the slow road. Our leaves are shade-grown for 21 days and stone-ground to preserve the delicate L-theanine that mass-market caffeine destroys.

The Art of Doing Less

The morning doesn't have to be a rush. Namisan offers a gentle transition—a tactile ritual that grounds you in the present. With our authentic Mino-yaki bowls and bamboo whisks, we provide the tools to turn your morning tea into a personal sanctuary.

Sourced for the Discerning

We skip the industrial dust. We source in small batches from Japan to ensure every bag you open is as electric-green and umami-rich as the day it was ground.

How to Prepare Your Usucha Matcha 

1. Scoop: Add 2-3g (approx. heaped ½ tsp) of matcha to your Chawan (bowl).
2. Hydrate: Add 70ml of 80°C water (never boiling, as it burns the delicate leaves).
3. Whisk: Use a bamboo Chasen to whisk in a vigorous 'W' motion until a thick, micro-foam crema forms.
4. Breathe: Take a moment of slow presence before your first sip.
