Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder (Camellia sinensis)

Roasted Green Tea (Hojicha) (Camellia sinensis)

• Ancient China (over 1,000 years ago) – Powdered green tea was used in meditative and ceremonial practices.

• Japanese Zen Buddhist traditions (12th century) – Matcha was adopted to support focus and mindfulness.

• Traditional Japanese tea culture – Hojicha developed as a roasted green tea for calm, everyday enjoyment.

• Traditional preparation methods – Matcha was whisked into warm water, while hojicha was brewed as a roasted leaf tea.

In traditional Japanese tea culture, different teas were used at different times of day to support presence, balance and rhythm.

Matcha and Hojicha was reserved for moments of focus and ceremony, while hojicha was enjoyed for its gentle warmth and grounding nature, often later in the day.

This Ceremonial Pair brings together ceremonial grade matcha and hojicha to support a balanced daily tea ritual. Together, they offer a gentle way to honour both clarity and calm, without overstimulation.
