Organic Aka Matcha

Description

Were excited to introduce something completely new from our latest 2025 tea trip to Japan: Aka Matcha, also known as Black Tea Matcha.

When most people think of matcha, they picture finely ground shaded Japanese green teaand rightly so. Thats the tradition, and its what gives matcha its vivid color and intense umami flavor.

But instead of shaded green tea, they took aJapanese black tea and ground it really fine, just like you would a matcha.Same creamy whisked preparationbut with thebold, malty depth of a Japanese black tea. Its rich, smooth, and deeply comforting.

Even better, this Aka Matcha comes from the same certified organic farm that produces our beloved Royal Matcha. That means youre getting the same high-quality craftsmanship and commitment to clean farming, just with a completely different flavor experience.

You can prepare it the same way as traditional matchajust use slightly less, since this powder is naturally quite bold.

Straight whisked:
Whisk 11.5g with 120150ml water at 165F (74C) for a vivid, tea-forward cup.

Latte style (our favorite):
Whisk 1.52g with about 50ml hot water, then pour over 810oz steamed milk. Add a touch of brown sugar or honey only if you prefer sweetnessits flavorful enough on its own.

Comforting, cozy, and completely unexpectedthis is matcha reimagined. Give it a try and taste a whole new side of Japanese tea.
