Description
Supreme Matcha is a shade-grown green tea from the Uji region of Japan, ground fine enough to whisk into milk or water in under a minute. The flavor is gentle and easy to enjoy, like fresh-cut grass with a touch of soft fruit, and it leans toward milk, so the matcha latte you would order at a café becomes something you make in your kitchen. A bowl in the morning, a glass over ice in the afternoon: a small ritual that earns its place in the day because the tea is good and brings you joy.
Most people curious about matcha already have a mug and the milk. What they don't have is the whisk, and that is the part that stops them. This kit hands you the tea and an electric frother that does the work at the press of a button, bringing the powder and the milk together into an even, lump-free cup with no technique required. All you add is hot water or milk. The frother sells on its own for $25, and here it is complimentary: you pay the price of three tins of Supreme, and the tool to make them comes with it.
Three 80g tins give you a few months of daily matcha. Open one at a time and keep the others sealed and stored in a cool, dark place, so each tin is fresh when you reach it. A simple way to begin, and a good introduction for someone new to matcha.
Each starter kit contains:
3 – Supreme Matcha 80g Tins
1 – Matcha Tea Frother
Ingredients
Your Introduction to Uji
Matcha has been made in the Uji area for centuries. The Starter Kit is three tins of Supreme from those same gardens, stone-milled the traditional way, with the electric frother that turns the ritual into one button.
Grown in Uji
Uji is Japan's oldest matcha region, shaded before harvest for a deep green color and a rounded cup. Supreme comes from the same gardens as our ceremonial grades.
Chosen to Harney Standards
Sourced and tasted to the same standards as all of our teas, as we've done since 1983.
Stone-milled
The shaded leaves are ground between granite stones turning slow enough to stay cool, which is what keeps the powder this fine and this green.

Common questions
Everything you might be wondering before your first brew.
Three 80 g tins is a few months of daily matcha for most drinkers. Open one tin at a time, keep the sealed tins somewhere cool and dark, and refrigerate the tin you have opened.
Yes. The kit is priced as three tins of Supreme, and the $25 electric frother comes with it. It brings the powder and milk together into an even, lump-free cup at the press of a button.
Yes. Matcha is green tea, made from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, as the rest of the tea we sell. The difference is how it is grown and prepared: the leaves are shaded for weeks before harvest, then dried and stone-ground into a fine powder. Instead of steeping leaves and removing them, you whisk the whole leaf into water and drink it.
Most green tea is steamed or pan-fired, rolled, and dried, and you steep it. Matcha starts from leaves grown under shade for several weeks, which changes their color and flavor, then dried flat and ground into powder. That flat, de-veined leaf has its own name, Tencha. Because you drink the whole leaf instead of an infusion, the taste is fuller and the color is brighter.
No, and with the kit the question answers itself: the electric frother is in the box. A bamboo whisk gives great froth too, and a lidded jar or cocktail shaker works in a pinch.
About 80 milligrams in a standard 2 gram bowl, a little less than a typical cup of coffee. Because you are drinking the whole leaf rather than an infusion, matcha carries more caffeine than the same amount of steeped green tea.
Matcha is ground leaf, so it has far more surface area than whole-leaf tea and it fades faster once it meets air. Keep it sealed, cool, and away from light, and refrigerate it after opening.
