“Intense”

Grade 3 – Signature Matcha

Created for the Ultimate Iced Matcha Latte

Signature Matcha & Tea Collection

A signature matcha blend created for the ultimate iced matcha latte.

MATCHA 03 – INTENSE was designed around a simple idea: to create a matcha with enough freshness, clarity, and presence to remain vivid when combined with cold milk.

Its defining character is a bright, fresh green aroma reminiscent of newly opened tea leaves, followed by smooth umami and a distinct matcha intensity. Even over ice and milk, its vibrant character remains clear, giving the finished drink both freshness and depth.

That presence also makes Intense particularly expressive when paired with other ingredients.

Milk, vanilla, fruits, and other flavours can complement the matcha without obscuring its identity. Rather than simply adding intensity, the blend was created to bring definition and balance to each combination, allowing both the matcha and the accompanying ingredients to remain distinct.

The result is a versatile yet unmistakably high-quality matcha with a refreshing green character and confident presence.

Created for iced matcha, but designed to inspire far beyond it.
