Introducing the perfect mash-up of English and Japanese tradition. By combining England's historical breakfast beverage with Japanese Matcha technique, we've created a tea that perfectly embodies the notion that Japan is in fact, "the Britain of the East".
From whence stems this seemingly odd notion? Consider the following:
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, both countries absolutely adore tea. In fact, their histories are rich with tales and legends about the wonders of the hallowed plant. Subsequently, it seems well within the natural order of things to take our exceptional, high grown organic English Breakfast and feed it into a traditional matcha mill.
We believe you'll be quite pleased we did. The resulting tea, a finely powdered English Breakfast, offers mesmerizing notes of malt with a gentle astringency and thick, warm mouth-feel. Absolutely incredible when frothed up with a spot of milk, we're pleased to do our part for bilateral relations.

Caffeine content: Medium - This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of green tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 22 to 29 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.
Antioxidant Content: High - When consuming matcha you actually consume all the tea leaves. Scientific testing in Japan has indicated that on account of this fact the antioxidant benefit of matcha can be up to 5-9 greater then with normal green tea consumed in the conventional manner.
