mountain matcha

抹茶 · matcha
real ceremonial-grade matcha instant gently caffeinated whisk optional

An instant matcha latte with ceremonial-grade attitude and trailhead speed. Creamy, grassy, vegetal, gently caffeinated. Tear, pour, stir into hot or cold water. No bamboo whisk, no clumps, no ritual you have to perform with frozen fingers.

This is our answer to the instant trail latte: a sunrise cup that tastes like real matcha instead of sweetened green dust. The summit is on you. We handle the cup you drink when you get there.

Honesty corner: matcha settles. Give it a few seconds of stirring (or a shake in your bottle) and it comes right back together.

the ritual

  2. Add hot water for a latte, or cold for an iced pick-me-up at camp.
  3. Stir for a few seconds (or cap and shake). Sip. Get after it.

the recipe's story

Matcha (抹茶) is shade-grown green tea, stone-ground into a fine powder and whisked rather than steeped, so you drink the whole leaf. It carries a gentle, sustained caffeine plus L-theanine: alert without the jitter and crash.

It is the cup we actually want at a cold trailhead, so we made a version that survives a backpack and a bad whisking situation.

"Mountain matcha" is our take on the instant trail latte category. Real tea, real creaminess, real fast. The kind of cup you hold with both hands while the valley fills with light.
