HANAE Ceremonial Matcha (Refill bag)

*NOTE: Our retail teas are currently not available for purchase until February 2025. Our only offerings at the moment are our 1kg bags, which you can purchase here.

Matcha recommended for:

• Usucha (traditional Matcha tea)
• Cold Brew Matcha

*Packaging info: designed exclusively as a refill for our reusable 30g Biophotonic Glass jar. Once opened, gently place the foil bag into the jar or transfer the Matcha directly into it, and keep airtight at all times. As this refill bag does not re-seal, we don't recommend it to first-time customers who don't have an airtight and light-proof container.

HANAE is our signature Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha.

Suitable for everyday use, HANAE brews a rich and silky liquor with a good balance of sweetness/light astringency, subtle floral notes, light Umami and a pleasant silky mouthfeel.

A blend with enough delicacy to be whisked into Usucha (traditional Matcha Tea) while also being characterized by a rich body that allows it to be mixed into premium blended drinks, making a great choice for Cold Brew Matcha and high-grade Matcha latte.

• Flavour profile: Smooth, rich and earthy with subtle floral notes, light astringency and a refreshing finish of light Umami.
• Harvest & Growth: 1st flush (spring) / shade-grown for 20 days.
• Origin: Grown and stone-milled in Uji, Kyoto (Japan)

Storage: Seal package immediately after use and store in a cool dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, and strong odors.

Preparing this Matcha using our Chasen Bamboo Whisk would allow optimal aeration and mixing of the powder, creating a smoother and creamier brew.
