Beginners’ matcha is also ideal for use in cooking (discover our matcha recipes), as a vegan matcha drink with milk or soy milk, such as Matcha latte. It is also a very delicious ingredient in desserts.

Izumi has a stronger and slightly bitterer taste compared to higher quality matchas. The name “Izumi” means “spring”. Discover the benefits of this matcha as the source of your extra daily dose of energy – starting out with this tea opens the door to the wide world of matcha teas.

Matcha tea has been prepared using bamboo whisks (chasen) for hundreds of years, giving the tea its creamy and frothy texture. The bamboo whisk is an essential component in the matcha tea ceremony. The Chasen is made by hand; the tines are painstakingly cut from one bamboo stalk and then carved to shape. The art of making these whisks is exclusive to specially trained craftsmen. Their knowledge has been passed down through generations. It is not possible to manufacture the matcha bamboo whisks by machine, which is what makes each product unique.
