History & Heritage
Matcha began as whisked powdered tea in Song dynasty China and was carried to Japan around 1191, where it became the heart of the tea ceremony. This sampler spans that tradition, from Japanese Uji matcha to innovative Kenyan matchas made with a Japanese-style mill.
Interesting Facts
The pack lets you compare a premium Uji matcha, an all-purpose matcha, a black tea matcha, a white and green tea matcha and a culinary matcha.
Tasting Notes & Pairings
Expect a range from sweet and vegetal to malty and bold. Taste them side by side, then try your favorite in a latte.
Brewing tips (general guideline): sift about 1 teaspoon (1–2 g) of matcha into a bowl, add a few drops of hot water and whisk into a paste, then add 6–8 oz of water at 160–175°F and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy. Adjust to taste.

History & Heritage
White tea is one of the most delicate styles of tea, traditionally made in Fujian Province, China, with little more than gentle withering and drying. Silver Needle, made from downy spring buds, first appeared in Fuding around 1796, and White Peony, which includes buds and young leaves, was developed in the Jianyang and Zhenghe areas.
Interesting Facts
This sampler lets you taste the difference between an all-bud tea (Silver Needle), a bud-and-leaf tea (White Peony) and two fruit-flavored white teas.
Tasting Notes & Pairings
Expect a journey from honeyed and mellow to velvety and fruity. Try them side by side with fresh fruit and mild cheeses.
Brewing tips (general guideline): use 1–2 teaspoons (about 2–3 g) per 8 oz of water at 170–185°F, steeped 3–5 minutes. Adjust to taste.
