1. Grown on organic farms
We grow our green tea leaves on our USDA certified organic farms.

2. Shaded for added nutrients
Before the leaves are harvested in the Spring they are shaded under giant canopies for 30 days. This increases their chlorophyll & antioxidant content.

All leaves are inspected and only the finest ones are selected.

4. Baby leaves are selected for sweetness
We use the baby leaves as they are naturally sweeter and have a better flavour.

7. Stem & vein removed for smooth flavour
Next, we extract the stem and centre vein out of each of these leaves so our matcha tastes super smooth and we don't have to add any additional ingredients / sugar.

Then we grind the leaves (tencha leaves) into powder.

After the grind we sieve the powder to ensure there are no clumps.

11. Flat packed for freshness
Pouches of Matcha Ninja are then filled up. To keep things fresh we flat pack each pouch so there is no air inside.
