The tea’s freshness is reflected in the sparkling taste on the tongue and its bright green hue. The creamy Umami flavor spreads delicately all over your palate, flecked with sun-warmed grass overtones.

Only the best shade-grown green tea leaves based on size, color, shape, and translucency are picked. It is an intense and precise labor practice that ensures the highest quality of matcha you can buy. Our 10th generation tea master then grades the leaves and chooses only the finest to produce this Matcha.

Our classic Ceremonial Matcha is from the same region, produced organically and blended to produce a matcha that can be sipped daily yet is higher than the "culinary" grade. The Matcha Kansai is from Kyoto-a different region, and is the result of 3 Matcha growers creating a blend (like a regional wine blend), to create a special-occasion grade Matcha.

The first clinical trial in the world to evaluate the inhibitory of matcha effects on the decline of cognitive function was conducted recently. 

  • Researchers found that daily Matcha intake was associated with improved sleep quality and social cognitive function. 
  • Previous studies suggest that catechin reduces body fat and blood cholesterol levels, and also improves working memory, while theanine improves sleep and relieves stress, and working memory. 
  • It has also been reported that the short-term intake of matcha can increase attentiveness and decision-making accuracy.

Key Matcha Benefits

A Ceremonial Matcha Freedom Box with green matcha powder on its bristles lies next to a rustic brown ceramic bowl. The surface is speckled with organic tea powder from Magic Hour, creating a vibrant contrast against the dark background.
L-Theanine

L-theanine changes the effects of caffeine in the body, and helps to avoid the crash associated with it and may help protect the liver and aid in weight loss.

A cup filled with vibrant green matcha tea is placed on a dark surface. Green matcha powder is scattered around the cup, creating a striking contrast against the dark background. The overhead lighting emphasizes the rich color and texture of the matcha powder.
Heart Health

Green Tea reduces LDL "bad" cholesterol, aiding heart health. By one estimate, the catechins in matcha are up to 137x greater than other types of green teas.

What is Tea Ceremony?

FAQ

Yes, all of our teas undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for quality, purity, and safety. We proudly hold certifications for each blend, so you can sip confidently, knowing that our teas are crafted with care and integrity.

Our teas are cultivated, harvested, and blended from soil to cup with the Magic Hour Rule of Love. The base of our teas is grown in the tea estate where I was married :)! The exquisite buds are grown and harvested by our friends in a garden that touches the sky at the top of the mountains in the high-country of Sri Lanka. The pristine Idulgashinna Bio Tea Garden’s perched above a wildlife preserve. It was the first tea garden to become certified Biodynamic and organic in the world, it’s home to our family of farmers and growers whose respect towards nature and one another has become the gold standard of tea estates all over the world. We also source from small organic family gardens in Taiwan, Rwanda, India, Yunnan, Kyoto and Kagoshima, Japan.

Our formulator, Zhena, is an aromatherapist and was one of the founders of the Organic and Fair Trade movement over 25 years ago. She was crucial in getting rules for organics passed and has had a long-time passion for organics, Biodynamics and pure products. Her blending style is bold and she uses Organic-Compliant extracts of fruits, essential oils, and spices that fall under the “Natural Flavors” broad stroke ingredient description by the FDA. We only use extracts and flavors extracted with non-toxic methods and are 100% natural coming from the fruit or spice or flower that is distilled without chemicals.

Other companies may use “Natural Flavors” that are in a Propylene Glycol base—Zhena fought the label standards on this chemical 15 years ago and is dedicated to NEVER using flavorings with this or any other chemicals. Our flavors are entirely extracted naturally using alcohol or steam distillation. In the blending process, if the extract has alcohol, the alcohol dissipates. If you’ve ever used Vanilla Extract for cooking—you’ve used what Zhena uses in larger volumes.

When we writes, “Natural Flavors” it’s not because we wants to but that’s what the FDA requires. It’s not a great description and we assure you our standards are of the highest using only natural extracts and essential oils.

Please feel free to enjoy most of our teas without worry regarding being vegan compliant.
As of May of 2021, the only tea we have that is not vegan is Quintessence, which contains honey crystals.

You could steep our teas many times. A new flavor nuance will arise each time. If you’re planning to steep more than twice, you might want to add an additional teaspoon or two according to taste and the strength desired.

It's a common misconception that tea ceremony has to take up a lot of time from your schedule. I want to encourage you to take time for yourself, daily, in a simple tea ceremony. Simply naming 3 gratitudes as your water boils will uplift and shift your day!

However, the process only has to take as little as 10 minutes! For example, for most of our teas we suggest steeping 1 heaping teaspoon in water that is between 160--212 degrees (depending on the tea type--check the label!). As you steep your tea for the recommended minutes, take 3 heart-breaths, expanding the emerald green energy of your heart chakra. As you expand that blessed energy, you will activate your true intelligence which is found in the heart.

Then as you steep your loose-leaf magical tea, center into your senses. As yourself the Magic Hour sensory questions:

  • What do I hear?
  • What do I see?
  • What do I feel?
  • What do I smell?
  • What do I taste?

Then sip your tea with newfound presence.

Presence is where heaven is found. We want you to find your heaven on a daily basis!
