Matcha Green Tea Madness!

Matcha tea starter kit with whisk and bowl

Over the past decade, I’ve seen many tea trends rise in popularity. About fifteen years ago, bubble tea swept through my area (Los Angeles) and still has a strong following today.

More recently, matcha green tea has taken center stage—not just in coffee shops, but in food as well. What started in desserts has expanded into creative uses like sauces, smoothies, and even burger buns!

One challenge with matcha is deciding which variety to try first. A great option is a

matcha tea sampler
, which lets you explore several types at your own pace.

Featured Matcha Teas

This versatile matcha can be used in much more than tea—try it in pancakes, cheesecakes, smoothies, or lattes.



Peppermint matcha green tea

— A refreshing twist on classic matcha, infused with cool peppermint.



Bengal Club chai matcha

— A bold fusion of matcha and warming Malabar spices, creating a rich and aromatic cup.



Kenya White Rhino matcha blend

— A unique green and white tea blend grown in Kenya, offering soft grassy notes with subtle floral undertones.

Our matcha selections are available in 1 oz sampler sizes, as well as larger 2 oz and 8 oz options.

If matcha follows the same path as bubble tea, it’s likely to have a lasting impact on tea culture.

If you’ve experimented with matcha in food or drinks, we’d love to hear about it—and see your creations!
