Dialing in means adjusting the grind size, brew time, and coffee-to-water ratio to achieve the best flavor extraction.

To make the perfect cup of loose-leaf tea, use one teaspoon of tea leaves for every 200ml of water. Bring the water to the ideal temperature—around 90°C for black tea and 75-80°C for green tea. Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Adjust the steeping time for a milder or stronger taste, and always enjoy fresh.

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown green tea leaves. Unlike traditional green tea, where you steep the leaves and discard them, matcha involves consuming the whole leaf, which gives you a more concentrated flavor and provides a higher level of antioxidants and nutrients. It's also known for giving a smoother energy boost due to the combination of caffeine and L-theanine.

To make a traditional cup of matcha, add 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder to a bowl. Pour a small amount of hot water (about 80°C) and whisk the matcha using a bamboo whisk (Chasen) in a "W" motion until it's smooth and frothy. Then, add more hot water to reach your desired strength and enjoy! For a matcha latte, steam some milk and mix it with your prepared matcha.

Absolutely! Our teas and matcha are perfect for refreshing iced drinks. To make iced tea, brew your tea as usual, let it cool, and then pour it over ice.

Matcha can be enjoyed in many ways, from a traditional tea to a matcha latte or even in smoothies and baking. Simply start your day with a cup of matcha for sustained energy or use it in recipes for a healthy antioxidant boost throughout the day.
