My typical day starts at the coffee shop where I drink a latte with two shots of espresso. Afterwards, I go the salon to work and make a cup of The People’s Matcha. It keeps me going through the day unlike black teas I’ve tried. Plus, it’s creamy and delicious.

I love The People’s Matcha. It’s got a fresh flavor that can’t be found in other brands out there. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something sweet and not bitter.

steeped in quality & flavor

okumidori

This prized Japanese tea cultivar is characterized by its light body, flowery sweetness, rich aroma, and fresh color.

caffeine

Caffeine in matcha is more potent and energizing than other teas because you ingest the tea rather than steep it.

l-theanine

This compound mitigates the majority of caffeine’s downsides and may reduce anxiety, control blood pressure, and improve mood.

why we created the people’s matcha

We created The People’s Matcha with the grassroots in mind, the workers, artists, activists, frontline employees, and anybody pursuing positive change on the planet. 🌏

We wanted to create a product that would awaken the mind, both literally and metaphorically, to prepare you for the world ahead. 🧠

We chose matcha as our first product because of our personal relationships with tea farmers in Japan, and because it’s the most caffeinated tea beverage to come from the camelia sinensis plant. 🌱

Forged in a tradition of thoughtfulness and clarity among Buddhist monks to stay alert during meditation, it’s also a symbol of education, culture, and civilization. ⛩️

We’re a husband-and-wife team located in Japan next to rolling fields of tea leaves cultivated for tencha, which is then turned into matcha. 🍵

We’ve sorted through the various cultivars and come across a matcha super blend of the highest quality striking the perfect balance between flavor, aroma, and appearance. 👌

And honestly, we can’t wait to share it with you. 🙂

When I tasted The People’s Matcha, I said, “that’s it, that’s the flavor that I’m looking for.” It’s a jolt of energy, it’s like full-body energizing, not just mind. When I drink matcha, I’m ready to go climb. And my customers like it for the same reason.

I can code for hours on this stuff. I become an avid matcha tea drinker after being a long term espresso coffee drinker. The clean refreshing “buzz” keeps me alert for hours without the jitters.

We need to stay alert man! We’ve got a lot of laborious materials to read and review, and the effects that I’m getting with The People’s Matcha are similar to what I would get with coffee but without the crash so it’s perfect.

questions? ☝️

Matcha is a type of green tea carefully grown and cultivated through a process that includes shading the leaves and grinding them into a fine powder. You are drinking ground green tea, which gets separated into several categories based on the quality, with the ceremonial grade being the highest.

Generally, matcha contains between 18.9 and 44.4 milligrams of caffeine per gram (mg/g), which equates to between 37.8 and 88.8 milligrams of caffeine per cup of matcha. For comparison, coffee beans contain between 10 and 12 milligrams of caffeine per gram of beans, which makes matcha comparable to an espresso or coffee, unlike other teas.

Yes. The People’s Matcha is produced in an organic Japanese tea farm, free of pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. It is certified USDA, EU, and JAS organic.

A tea cultivar refers to the plant variety of a tea, which is bred to have specific traits. These traits might include being pest resistant, withstanding temperature extremes, and/or bringing out certain flavor profiles. There are thousands of different tea cultivars, similar to wine with its endless range of grape varieties.

Yes. All of our teas are ethically sourced, mainly from small independent family farms in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The People’s Matcha comes from a family-owned farm in Kyoto, Japan that has been producing tea for over three centuries.

Matcha grading indicates the quality of the tea. Ceremonial grade designates the highest quality matcha, which uses the youngest tea leaves at the top of the plant, while culinary grade is of lesser quality and is often used for cooking purposes.

Health benefits of The People’s Matcha are wide-ranging, and may include decreased risk of cancers, high blood pressure, high body fat, tooth loss, pneumonia, and diabetes.
