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 Prestige Organic Yuzu Matcha combines organic green tea powder with natural organic yuzu flavor made from 100% organic yuzu zest. Tea leaves and yuzu peels are hand-harvested in Kagoshima, Japan, and the cultivar is Yabukita. The spring harvest is identified as ichibancha, meaning the first harvest. Its profile brings together matcha’s characteristic flavor and the freshness of yuzu, with fruity, fresh notes and discreet bitterness.
The ingredients are organic green tea powder and natural organic yuzu flavor obtained from yuzu zest. Harvesting and production are completed entirely by hand. The product is described as free from gluten and allergens.
Yuzu adds a fresh, fruity character to the recognizable taste of matcha. Bitterness is discreet. This combination can be served hot or cold and used in sweet or savory recipes. Suggested applications include pastries, cakes, ice cream, smoothies, desserts, and toppings for dishes.
For a traditional water-based drink, place 1 g, about one level teaspoon, in a bowl. Add 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) of water at 70–75°C (158–167°F), then whisk for several seconds with a chasen bamboo whisk or electric frother until foam forms on the surface. For a latte, add milk after whisking. Oat milk is specifically suggested because its flavor does not mask the matcha. If powder settles after several minutes, stir or swirl the drink again.
The same matcha can be mixed into baking recipes, desserts, smoothies, cakes, ice cream, or sweet and savory toppings. This makes it suitable for buyers seeking one yuzu-flavored matcha for both drinks and cooking.
Available formats are 30 g and 80 g, each offered as a one-time purchase or subscription. The stated serving guide gives about 30 bowls from 30 g when using 1 g per bowl.
Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight. During temperatures above 24°C (75°F), it can also be refrigerated. Flavor is expected to remain at its best for three to four months after opening.
