About Cuzen Matcha Cuzen started with a simple vision: to make authentic, freshly-ground matcha accessible for modern, daily ritual. Long-time friends, Eijiro Tsukada and Oki Hatta put their minds together and created an innovative at-home matcha system that uses high-quality, organic matcha leaves from Japanese tea farmers. Matcha at the height of its freshness A Matcha Maker design and a carefully-curated Matcha Leaf, each one intended for the other. We engineered this machine to maximize matcha freshness and to reproduce the qualities of a traditional stone mill and bamboo whisk. Our shade-grown organic matcha leaves are sustainably farmed by small families in the traditional tea-growing regions of Japan. Our Matcha Maker and tea leaves are integral parts of a functioning whole, resulting in a cup of freshly-ground matcha every time. Features & Benefits Easy for anyone to use Just pour leaves into the hopper, fill the whisking cup with water, select the strength you want and push start. You get the highest-quality, freshest matcha every time. Under 20 micrometers Strong ceramic mill components and a complex groove pattern use high pressure equivalent to a traditional 130-pound granite mill, in order to make a fine matcha powder. For hand-whisking and baking We’ve included a grind-only function so you can have freshly-ground matcha for ceremonial use, baking and garnishing. Certified organic We’re proud to work with Japanese tea farmers dedicated to high-quality organic tea production. No chemical fertilizers and no chemical pesticides were used on our leaves. Our matcha has been OCO-certified organic since 2011. (Last renewed on June 17, 2022) Experience fresh matcha Aromatic, smooth and umami-rich. Matcha leaves hold their freshness and flavor longer than pre-ground matcha powder, much in the same way coffee beans hold their freshness longer than pre-ground coffee. From straight to mix drinks Freshly-ground matcha’s umami sweetness adds depth and dimension. You can enjoy this versatile matcha shot in a hot or iced latte, with sparkling water, mixed in a mocktail or cocktail or just straight. No sugar is needed.
