Dona Ceremonial Grade Matcha, Stone-Milled from Wazuka, Kyoto Family Tea Estate, Hot or Iced, 1.1 Ounce Airtight Seal Tin

Our premium-grade matcha leaves are carefully harvested once a year in May, during the optimal time for picking. After the harvest, the leaves undergo a rigorous process that includes cutting, steaming, drying, sifting, and meticulous handling to prevent oxidation. Finally, the leaves are stone-ground into the fine, ceremonial-grade matcha powder.

The distinctive taste of our matcha is the result of a unique high-temperature firing process, which imparts a well-balanced umami flavor with toasty, nutty notes – making it an ideal choice for all matcha enthusiasts.

The source of our matcha is a small family farm in Wazuka, situated in the northern region of Kyoto prefecture. The mineral-rich clay soil of this area contributes significantly to the depth of flavors and the strong aroma that characterize our premium matcha.

Our matcha is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and contains zero added sugar. It is composed entirely of steamed and stone-milled tea leaves, ensuring the highest quality and purity.

The natural amino acid L-theanine, found in matcha, works in harmony with the caffeine content to provide a balanced energy boost. Matcha energizes the mind and body while also promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.

Preparing the perfect cup of matcha is easy with our guidance. The traditional method involves scooping 2 grams (1 tsp) of matcha powder into a tea bowl (a small, wide, shallow shape with a rounded bottom, which facilitates efficient whisking). Then, add 2.5 ounces of hot water (at a temperature of 170°F) and vigorously whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy and well-blended.

Dona, a small business proudly based in Brooklyn, NY, is dedicated to bringing you this exceptional ceremonial-grade matcha, crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail.
