the gesture
An hour of grinding for thirty grams.
Grinding is the slowest step in the entire chain. Two granite millstones turn slowly so as not to heat the leaf.

the heat
Saku likes warmth.
Saku is selected for its frank, broader taste, which cuts through a dough, cream, or ice cream without being overpowered. What comes out of the oven still tastes like what went in.
- Uses Pastries, ice cream, milkshakes

4 to 6 hours of sustained energy
Antioxidants
137 times more than brewed green tea
Inner calm
Natural L-Theanine
Crash-free energy
Zero nerves, zero falls
They tasted it.
What they say about it.
An impulse buy to make a matcha tiramisu. I'm very surprised by the color and taste of this matcha. I recommend it.
Used for my lattes and pastries. The color and taste hold up perfectly, even when cooked.
Customer service is responsive. I've been drinking my matcha with toasted almond milk for over 6 months, and Saku works very well with it.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about our matchas.
Seika is our exceptional ceremonial grade: Ichibancha stone-ground, with zero bitterness. Hiraki is the classic ceremonial, balanced and vegetal. Saku is the superior culinary, with a strong flavor that holds up to cooking.
The origin does not change. The use and grade do.
Bitterness comes from inferior quality, water that is too hot, or excessive dosage. Our tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvesting. This technique concentrates L-theanine and reduces the tannins responsible for bitterness.
Our three matchas come from Uji, in the Kyoto region, the historical birthplace of matcha for over 800 years. Family farm, shading, hand-picking, stone-grinding. Only one harvest per year.
1g contains approximately 25 to 35mg of caffeine, the equivalent of a light espresso. 2g contains approximately 50 to 70mg, or a classic coffee. L-theanine slows down caffeine absorption: stable energy for 4 to 6 hours, without peaks or crashes.
Sift 1g into a bowl. Add 70ml of water at a maximum of 75°C. Whisk in a W shape for 15 to 20 seconds.
For a latte: whisk 1g with a little hot water, then top with 150ml of hot or cold milk.
No. An electric frother works very well for everyday use. The main thing is to dissolve the powder thoroughly to avoid lumps.
