Creamy + Oceanic Japanese Matcha

PREORDER | Arriving November 11 (Reserve yours now! Available for in-studio pickup or shipping beginning November 11. Orders will be fulfilled in the order received.)

Ritual is an exceptional Japanese matcha created for the bowl you return to again and again. Deeply creamy, beautifully silky, and remarkably round, it offers an enveloping texture with fresh green sweetness, savory depth, integrated umami, and a clean oceanic character reminiscent of sea air.

Its texture is one of the first things we notice in the cup. Ritual moves softly and cohesively across the palate, carrying a natural creaminess through a long, supple finish. The oceanic character gives the tea freshness and dimension: subtle saline-mineral notes, deep green savoriness, and a gentle marine quality woven into the matcha’s sweetness and rounded body.

Made from shade-grown tencha from Kagoshima and Shizuoka, Ritual brings together Asanoka, Yabukita, and Tsuyuhikari cultivars in a second-harvest expression chosen for its balance, texture, and character. The finished matcha reflects the work of a fifth-generation Japanese tea producer with more than 150 years of tea-making history. Admari has sourced tea from this producer since 2008.

Ritual was selected for the quality of the tea prepared simply with water, where its silky texture, natural sweetness, oceanic depth, and savory character can be experienced clearly. Its body and balance also give it remarkable versatility. Over ice, its marine freshness becomes especially vivid. With milk, its natural creaminess complements the drink while its green tea character remains present and expressive.

This versatility is central to Ritual. It can be the quiet bowl prepared in the morning, a refreshing iced matcha in the afternoon, or the foundation of a beautifully balanced matcha latte, or lemonade. Its complexity rewards attention while its ease makes it a matcha to return to often.

Our matcha is milled in regular six-to-eight-week cycles, allowing us to work with fresh Japanese matcha throughout the year. Matcha is especially sensitive to air, light, heat, moisture, and surrounding aromas, making freshness an essential part of its fragrance, color, texture, and flavor.

Ritual is creamy, oceanic, silky, round, and quietly savory; a high-quality Japanese matcha designed for repetition, return, and modern ritual.

Floral + Umami-Rich Japanese Matcha

Ceremony is an exceptional first-harvest Japanese matcha selected for its aromatic lift, pronounced umami, and beautifully rounded presence in the bowl. Floral and expressive, it opens with fresh sweetness and soft green aromatics before developing into a full, silky body with deep savory richness and a long, refined finish.

Its fragrance is one of Ceremony’s defining qualities. In the warmed bowl, floral and creamy aromatics rise immediately, setting the stage for a matcha that feels both lifted and substantial. The first sip brings fresh green sweetness and gentle vegetal character, followed by concentrated umami that builds gradually across the palate.

The texture is equally compelling. Ceremony is silky, round, and smooth, with a generous body that gives the tea depth while preserving clarity and elegance. Floral lift and savory richness move together throughout the bowl, creating a matcha that feels layered, expressive, and beautifully composed.

Ceremony is especially rewarding when preparation becomes part of the experience: the warmed bowl, the scent of the matcha before whisking, the texture of the foam, and the progression from floral aroma to savory depth.

A graceful first flush Darjeeling from one of the region’s oldest tea estates, capturing the freshness and elegance of the Himalayan spring harvest.

Each spring, Darjeeling’s tea gardens awaken after the cooler winter months and begin one of the world’s most anticipated seasonal harvests.

Puttabong Spring comes from the historic Puttabong Tea Estate, established in the nineteenth century and recognized as one of Darjeeling’s oldest tea gardens. Situated within the eastern Himalayan landscape, the estate benefits from cool mountain temperatures, mist, elevation, and a distinctive seasonal climate that contribute to teas celebrated for fragrance, clarity, and elegance.

First flush refers to the earliest harvest of the year, when the tea bushes produce their first tender leaves after winter dormancy. These young spring leaves create a cup unlike those harvested later in the season, emphasizing brightness, aromatic lift, and remarkable freshness.

The dry leaf opens with aromas of cane sugar, citrus peel, and sweet cereal grain. As the tea infuses, delicate notes of citrus blossom, spring flowers, and mountain freshness emerge.

In the cup, Puttabong Spring is luminous rather than heavy. The liquor is silky and refined, carrying graceful sweetness while maintaining clarity and lift. Cane sugar and sweet grain provide a soft foundation for citrus blossom and fresh floral notes, creating a tea that feels precise, balanced, and wonderfully alive.

Rather than emphasizing richness or weight, this tea celebrates finesse. Its beauty lies in transparency, fragrance, and the fleeting freshness of the spring harvest.

The finish is clean and lingering, leaving delicate floral sweetness and bright citrus behind. Puttabong Spring rewards careful brewing and quiet attention, offering a refined expression of Darjeeling’s celebrated first flush season.

A silky spring black tea from the Kangra Valley, offering honeyed malt, warm grain, orchard fruit, and mountain florals.

Kangra Spring comes from the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh, where tea grows within the western Himalayan landscape.

Harvested during spring 2026, this tea offers a distinctive balance between seasonal freshness and the deeper character of black tea. It is brighter and more aromatic than a heavily oxidized breakfast tea, yet fuller and more comforting than many delicate spring harvests.

The dry leaf opens with aromas of honeyed malt, warm cereal grain, and soft mountain florals. As the leaves warm, the fragrance becomes sweeter and rounder, recalling cream of wheat finished with honey and the subtle fruitiness of a spring orchard.

In the cup, malt and warm grain form a soft, comforting foundation. Wildflowers and orchard fruit bring lift and complexity, while natural sweetness holds the elements together. The tea has satisfying body without heaviness and a silky texture that moves smoothly across the palate.

Kangra Spring is expressive but not demanding. Its sweetness and warm grain character make it immediately approachable, while its floral and fruit notes offer enough complexity for slower, more attentive tasting.

The finish is clean and gently honeyed, leaving soft malt, fruit, and mountain florals behind. Comforting, balanced, and quietly uplifting, this is a tea that reflects both the freshness of the spring harvest and the grounded character of the Kangra Valley.
