Our matcha is sourced from Uji, Japan, where it is grown, shaded, and stone-ground to preserve its rich flavor and nutritional benefits.

We currently offer:

• Kokoro – A blend of cultivars (Asahi, Samidori, Yabukita) with a rich, umami depth.
• Okumidori – A premium yet affordable matcha for daily enjoyment of cultivar okumidori.
• Samidori – Our most premium single-cultivar matcha that offers a deep sweetness and rich umami.

Our matcha is sourced with a strong emphasis on quality and traditional farming methods to keep its vibrant green color and rich flavor. While not all our products are certified organic, we only work with farmers that use no unnecessary additives, pesticides, or artificial fertilizers.

We love working with creators, brands, and matcha enthusiasts who share our passion. If you believe in what we do – please reach out to us via info@ahlqen.com

We prioritizes quality over unnecessary packaging and complexity. Our matcha is carefully curated, packaged in aluminum tins with minimal but thoughtful branding, and offered with refill options to reduce waste.

First of – Ceremonial matcha is only a marketing term and not a true classification. The term is typically referring to matcha made from the youngest, highest-quality tea leaves and has a smooth, slightly sweet taste with low bitterness—ideal for drinking straight. Culinary matcha on the other hand, is more robust in flavor and better suited for lattes, smoothies, and baking. Our matcha is selected purely for drinking due to its high quality, but will of course work in premium desserts and cooking. Read more here.

To maintain freshness, store matcha in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Our aluminum tins and refill bags are designed to help preserve the matcha’s quality. Refrigeration is optional but can extend shelf life.

1. Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl to remove clumps.
2. Add a small amount of hot water (about 70-80°C).
3. Whisk in a zig-zag motion using a bamboo whisk until a smooth, frothy consistency is achieved.
4. Enjoy straight or add milk for a matcha latte.

Aluminum tins provide a protective, airtight seal that helps maintain the matcha’s freshness while being more durable and reusable compared to standard packaging.

We will soon do! To minimize waste, our matcha will soon be available in refill pouches, which can be placed inside your original tin.

Shipping times vary depending on your location, but most orders are processed the same day being placed and delivered within 2-5 business days.

As long as your product is unopened and the seal is intact, you are welcome to return it. Read more in our return policy.

Our matcha comes in aluminum tins with simple, printer-label designs to keep costs and waste low. Refills are available in sealed silver foil bags that can be placed inside the tin.

We avoid plastic wherever possible, which is everywhere at this point. Our whisk is packaged in paper instead of plastic to ensure easy recycling and sustainability. Our matcha packages in aluminum tins, and your order is shipped in paper boxes.

Currently, we ship within Sweden. We are working on expanding to more locations soon. Send us a messade on social media or an email to let us know where you are missing our matcha.
