About Blue Bottle Craft Matcha
Sourced from renowned Japanese tea-growing regions and selected for balance, Blue Bottle Craft Matcha is made using shade-grown tencha leaves stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder. The brand’s focus on precision roasting, blending, and testing ensures the matcha maintains bright colour, fine texture, and low bitterness — characteristics that make it both ceremonial-grade and barista-friendly.
Unlike typical café blends, this matcha is free from additives or sweeteners. It’s crafted for flavour purity — rich, vegetal, and naturally creamy, with a lingering sweet finish that complements milk-based drinks and traditional whisked preparations alike.

Whisk vigorously with a chasen (bamboo whisk) in fast M or W motions until frothy.
Enjoy immediately — smooth, balanced, and aromatic.
