Matcha is having a moment, but it’s been having one for over 800 years.
Ceremonial matcha is made from shade-grown tea leaves, hand-picked, steamed, and slowly stone-ground into a fine green powder. One hour of milling gets you just 60 grams. That’s effort you can taste.
The tradition comes from Japanese tea ceremonies; deliberate, slow, and quiet. No foam hearts. No oat milk. Just presence, precision, and a frothy green bowl.
Today, you’ll find matcha in lattes, croissants, serums, smoothies - mass-produced and repackaged for the algorithm. But behind the trend is a product rooted in calm, clarity, and care.
At Bootlegger, we’re coffee people. But we’re also ritual people. Matcha reminds us that what you drink, and how you make it, matters.
