Spirit Tea - Yame no Hana (Matcha)

We know you love great coffee, and we do too! But sometimes, you need a little variety. Tea offers a wonderful change of pace with its own rich flavours and calming rituals. Plus, it pairs perfectly with those quiet moments or as a gentle wake-up in the morning.

Of course, we want to make sure you have the best of both worlds, which is why we’re excited to bring you Spirit Tea from Chicago, Illinois! They’re devoted to preserving the purity and tradition of tea, sourcing exceptional and unique teas while respecting the environment and honouring the diversity of tea cultures. Their passion for quality and authenticity really sets them apart.

We’re particularly excited about Spirit Tea’s matcha. Translating to “fine powdered tea,” matcha is a Japanese specialty that Spirit Tea takes great pride in. They offer exceptional matcha not only for your favorite lattes and smoothies but also for traditional preparations like usucha and koicha. This matcha reflects an artisanal heritage practiced for centuries, bringing a rich and authentic experience to your cup.

" Shinya Yamaguchi’s fastidious devotion to tea making—honed over years of practice—is unmistakable. From electric-green, milky matcha; to dewy gyokuro; savory senchas; and supple shincha—he boasts a gamut of masterly productions, with a bespoke eye for matching materiel to result. The Yamaguchis source from more than eighty small farms in Fukoka. Blending those harvests with an understanding of ecology is no small feat—Shinya is one of about a dozen living tenth-level certified masters of blending and appraisal." — Spirit Tea
