Read the personal testimonies from our founders to see the difference matcha can make.

WHY DO I DRINK MATCHA?

Dr. Tuan, cardiothoracic surgeon

"The simple answer is I want to live a long and healthy life. Matcha green tea is loaded with catechins, a class of flavonoids that are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals. Epidemiological studies done in Japan have shown that drinking green tea is associated with better cardiovascular health.

I am usually up at the crack of dawn to start work early at the hospital. Matcha keeps me awake and alert. When I do a coronary artery bypass operation, my hands cannot have the slightest tremor. Matcha keeps me calm and focused, without the jitters. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in matcha makes this possible."

Bill, The Flavor Guy

"I had a heart attack in my late 40's. The type of blockage I had is called ‘the widowmaker.’ My heart disease could have killed me, leaving my dear wife a widow with four young children. I changed my ways immediately by cutting out refined carbs such as sugar and starches. Nowadays, I drink matcha, hoping I can cheat death from heart disease a second time."

THE YUM MATCHA STORY

Dr. Tuan is a cardiothoracic surgeon.
Bill "The Flavor Guy" is a heart attack survivor.

On a chance encounter, the two met on a fishing boat. Following their fishing trip, Dr. Tuan and Bill became friends and decided to collaborate on ways to raise awareness about heart disease. One of the ways to raise awareness was to promote healthy lifestyle changes, including drinking matcha tea.

Despite Dr. Tuan’s operating schedule and Bill’s role as CEO of Nature’s Flavors, they set aside time to study and became matcha tea connoisseurs. They created a healthy and tasty flavored matcha powder loaded with antioxidants. As ministers of matcha, they made it their mission to spread the word about the health benefits of matcha green tea, as well as expand on that original drink with a line of flavored matcha powder combinations.

MATCHA TEA

WHAT IS MATCHA TEA?

Matcha is the finely ground powder of the dried green tea leaves from the plant Camellia sinensis. To make our organic ceremonial-grade matcha tea, the leaves undergo a specialized process of steaming, drying, and separation before they are ground into micron-sized matcha powder. This fresh powder becomes the basis of our flavored matcha.

culinary-vs-ceremonial

CULINARY GRADE VS CEREMONIAL GRADE MATCHA

Based on the texture, color, and grinding process, matcha is classified into two different grades. Culinary grade is of lower quality but is suitable for cooking, baking, and confectionery. Ceremonial matcha is of higher quality and used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. We use only the highest grade of ceremonial matcha in its organic form.
