This blend brings together two complementary Japanese tea cultivars.


Yabukita, Japan's most widely grown cultivar, adds fresh vegetal notes and a little liveliness, giving the blend a clear aromatic structure.


Okumidori is mellower and richer in amino acids. It rounds out the umami, softens astringency and deepens the green color.

In the cup, the result is balanced: a fresh first impression followed by lingering mellow flavor and smooth umami.
This versatile blend is harmonious, accessible and refined, whether enjoyed on its own or in a latte.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ceremonial and classic matcha?

Ceremonial matcha comes from the first harvest, using young leaves shaded for an extended period. Slowly stone-ground, it has rich umami, a silky texture and no bitterness. Classic matcha is often more bitter and less fine, and can be used in cooking.

How do Jade and Rêve, two ceremonial matchas, differ?

The cultivars and harvesting methods give Jade and Rêve subtly different aromas. Jade is mellower and rounder, with cocoa and saline notes; Rêve has a bolder, more vegetal profile.

Is Rêve organic?

Yes. Rêve is JAS certified, the Japanese equivalent of an organic certification. It is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers under Japan's organic standards.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Matcha contains about 30–35 mg of caffeine per gram, or 60–70 mg in a serving of about 1 tsp (2 g). The exact amount in a cup depends on how much matcha you use.

Can I drink matcha every day?

Matcha contains caffeine. The amount per cup depends on the quantity of powder used; this page gives about 60–70 mg for a serving of about 1 tsp (2 g).
