If you’ve ever wanted a boost that powers you through the day without the crash, matcha might just be your new favourite ritual. At Leaf & Lumen, we’re on a mission to bring this centuries-old Japanese tradition into modern life — simple, accessible, and delicious.
From Kyoto to Your Cup
Our ceremonial-grade matcha comes from Uji, Kyoto — a region famed for its rich tea heritage. Farmers there still follow time-honoured cultivation methods: shading the tea fields before harvest, hand-picking only the youngest leaves, and stone-grinding them into a vibrant green powder.
The result? A drink packed with antioxidants, amino acids, and a steady release of caffeine that sharpens focus without the jitters.
How to Prepare the Perfect Bowl
-
Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into your bowl to avoid clumps.
-
Add 70–80ml of hot water (not boiling — 80°C is perfect).
-
Whisk in a zig-zag motion until you see a frothy layer.
-
Enjoy slowly, focusing on the taste and aroma.
Optional: Add a splash of oat milk for a creamy latte twist.
