Why Choose Leafmill Matcha

Grown in China’s Premier Tea Regions

Our matcha is sourced from the high-altitude tea gardens of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Hubei, where cool mists, rich soil, and centuries-old expertise create the ideal environment for growing nutrient-rich, shade-cultivated tea leaves.

Stone-Ground the Traditional Way

Unlike mass-produced powders, Leafmill Matcha is stone-ground slowly using traditional granite mills. This method preserves flavor, texture, and color—delivering a smoother, more vibrant matcha with every scoop.

First-Harvest, Shade-Grown Quality

We use only first-harvest leaves—the most tender and flavorful of the season—grown under shade to boost chlorophyll and L-theanine. The result is a naturally sweet, umami-rich matcha perfect for mindful rituals.
