Anatae is a French matcha brand founded in 2019 that sources organic tea directly from three Japanese prefectures: Nishio, Kagoshima, Shizuoka. Its matcha range is purpose-built—from ceremonial to culinary—with blends tailored to each use.
The ceremonial grade relies on ichibancha leaves shaded for three weeks with black sheets—tana shading—and stone-ground to a fine 10‑micron powder after steaming and drying. Anatae works with multi‑generational farmers like Kana’s family in Nishio; their pesticide‑free tencha helped the brand earn the Meilleur Produit BIO award.
Anatae Organic Ceremonial Matcha and Bamboo Chasen Kit pairs 30 g of Japanese matcha with a traditional bamboo whisk for making matcha at home. Grown in Nishio, Aichi, Japan, this organic Yabukita matcha comes from the spring ichibancha, or first harvest. Its mild profile is described as sweet, vegetal, fresh, and free from bitterness. The 30 g tin makes approximately 30 bowls.
The standard set includes ceremonial matcha and a short bamboo chasen designed for whisking in a bowl. The whisk has 120 bamboo tines separated by thread. It disperses powdered tea through water to produce an even mixture without lumps and with foam on the surface.
Other listed formats include a short chasen presented in a gift box and a long-whisk kit without a box. The short whisk suits preparation in a bowl, while the long version is shown for whisking matcha in a cup. The boxed version includes QR codes covering matcha preparation, chasen care, and Anatae’s history.
This matcha has sweet, vegetal, and fresh notes without bitterness. It can be prepared with water as traditional matcha, combined with hot or cold milk for a matcha latte, or used in no-bake pastry. Its accessible taste and included whisk make the kit suitable for beginners, established matcha drinkers, or gifting. The matcha received the Meilleur Produit BIO 2022 award.
Place one level teaspoon of matcha in a bowl, then add a small amount of room-temperature or hot water at 60–75°C (140–167°F). Whisk firmly for about 20 seconds using an M-shaped motion until the mixture is even and foamy. Let the chasen lightly skim the bowl’s sides and base rather than pressing its tines against them. Add more water for a less concentrated drink, or add hot or cold milk for a latte.
Keep the matcha in its closed, opaque airtight tin, protected from light, moisture, ovens, heaters, and other heat sources. Refrigeration is an option during hot weather. After use, rinse the chasen with plain water and leave it to dry with its tines facing upward on a dry surface. Hand-wash only; the bamboo whisk is not dishwasher-safe.
