A delicious Ceremonial Grade Matcha with an excellent quality/price ratio brought to us by the Osafumi brothers, second generation producers. This Matcha comes from the mythical region of Uji, near Kyoto (the former capital of Japan), and more precisely from Ujitawara, hometown of Nagatani Soen, inventor of the Sencha tea style. Its fresh and tasty emulsion offers a velvety texture and a slightly bitter-sweet flavor, with notes of oily grass and snow peas. A touch of gentle iodine tickles the palate, overshadowing everything.

The Camellia Sinensis Matcha Gift Set includes the four essentials for a perfect emulsion: • Chasen (Matcha Whisk) | White Bamboo • Naoshi (Chasen Holder) • Chawan | Jade (Matcha Bowl) • Matcha Spoon | Stainless Steel

Easy to use, the infuser beaker is the perfect accessory to extract the maximum flavour from your infusions. Large-leaf teas and herbal teas are particularly suited to the free infusions that the beaker allows. Once the water is poured in, the transparency of the glass allows you to admire the leaves unfolding and the liquor gradually colouring. When the infusion is ready, the fine stainless steel filter retains even the finest leaves, leaving only the liquor in your cup. Under the spout, a discreet measuring chart ensures precision in your dosage. Made of two easy-to-clean pieces, this tool is practical at home and at work. Diameter of the object: 8 cm Height of the object: 12 cm

Practical and minimalist, it will quickly become an essential. In addition to its versatility, the transparent double-walled glass is a valuable asset for the visual experience.

Here is a Ceremonial Grade organic Matcha green tea from a spring harvest that comes from Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture on Japan's southernmost main island, Kyushu. Before emulsifying, the fine powder gives off notes of chocolate milk. The creamy mousse is very easy to obtain, which will please both less experienced amateurs and connoisseurs. The taste of the beverage starts with vegetable notes (endives) and ends with subtle tropical fruit flavours typical of the Yabukita cultivar.

The glass infuser pitcher is ideal for brewing hot teas, iced teas or herbal infusions. The glass withstands water from cold to boiling and is a neutral, easy-to-clean material allowing you to switch, without aromatic transfer, from one style of infusion to another. The spacious filter allows leaves of all styles and sizes to release their full flavour. Using the pitcher 1- Measure the leaves into the infuser basket (12.5g or 5 to 10 teaspoons, depending on the size of the leaves). 2- Fill the pitcher with water of the desired temperature: 75°C to 95°C for hot infusions, or simply cold water for a cold infusion. 3- Insert the infuser basket into the pitcher and leave to infuse for the recommended time (for a cold infusion, we suggest between 8 and 12 hours). 4- Remove the infuser basket, replace the lid and enjoy.

Rich with the knowledge of 16 generations of tea producers in Uji (Japan), Mr. Koyama offers us this amazingly accessible and addictive Matcha. This fine green tea powder delivers an experience of exquisite intensity with its liquor bearing rich tastes of herbs and algae.

For 7 long nights this green tea is exposed to the fragrance of fresh jasmine flowers. A Chinese classic, these tightly-rolled pearls unfurl for a delicate and totally seductive pairing of flower and tea. The pyramid form of these compostable teabags (no nylon is used) liberates the leaves' rich flavours revealing the freshness of the tea.

An essential accessory for anyone using a chasen (matcha whisk), the naoshi (chasen-holder) preserves the shape of the whisk while enabling it to dry properly. In fact, drying a chasen upside down with the handle on a table increases the risk of surplus moisture in the base, where the fine fronds bind to the bamboo handle. The chasen is sold separately.

The sundried, large-leaf white tea known as Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) gives a silky delicate cup with notes of herbs, fruits and flowers and a refreshing zesty finish. From Camellia Sinensis’ artisanal factory, the Tea Studio, deep in India’s Nilgiri Mountains.

Handplucked and grown by an artisanal producer in Northern Canada. A colourful and delicious flowery herbal blend mixing marigold, Agastache, amaranth and lemon balm. The pinkish liquor is smooth and creamy evocative of myrrh or almond. Its powerful aniseed fragrance is tempered by a fine citrus zest. Caffeine free.
