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 Organic Hojicha Duo pairs an 80 g pack of matcha from Nishio, Aichi, with a 70 g pack of roasted, ground green tea from Shizuoka. Both Japanese powdered teas work with water or milk, but their flavors differ: the matcha has no bitterness, while the hojicha has roasted aromas reminiscent of coffee, cocoa, and hot chocolate. The set is gluten-free and allergen-free.
The organic ceremonial matcha is finely ground green tea intended for traditional preparation with water, matcha lattes, and baking. It has a delicate character without bitterness. The matcha was harvested and produced entirely by hand in Nishio and received the Meilleur Produit BIO 2022 award.
The organic hojicha starts as green tea from Shizuoka before being roasted and ground. Roasting gives it toasted aromas associated with coffee and cocoa. It contains less caffeine than the matcha and has no bitterness. It can be served hot or cold, with water or as a hojicha latte.
Whisk the matcha into a small amount of hot water no warmer than 70°C (158°F). A bamboo whisk, electric frother, blender, mixer, or shaker can disperse the powder. Drink it with water, or add plant-based milk for a matcha latte. Oat milk is one stated option.
Prepare the hojicha with water for a traditional-style drink or add milk for a hojicha latte. Oat milk can give it a hot-chocolate-style character. The roasted tea also suits cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter, including breakfast or an afternoon break.
This set suits buyers who want two distinct powdered Japanese green teas in larger packs. Choose the matcha for a bitterness-free green tea, latte, or baking ingredient. Choose the hojicha when roasted coffee and cocoa aromas sound more appealing. Each pack offers a different flavor while supporting both water-based drinks and milk-based lattes.
