Matcha Powder

August 27, 2025

This hue is inspired by the potent green of matcha, the finely ground tea powder at the heart of Japanese tea culture. Its luminous shade comes from high levels of chlorophyll preserved through shaded cultivation. After harvest, the leaves are stone-milled into a silky powder that retains a beautiful and bright green. For centuries, matcha has been central to Zen-inspired tea ceremonies, symbolizing mindfulness, ritual, and harmony. Today, its distinctive color and earthy flavor have transcended tradition, finding their way into lattes, desserts, and modern wellness culture worldwide.
