About TaikiTea
Taiki Tea is an East London-based specialist bringing premium organic matcha green tea from the legendary Uji region of Kyoto, Japan to British consumers. The brand name "Taiki" (pronounced tah-ee-kee) means "great vitality" in Japanese—a fitting promise for the energy and wellness benefits their ceremonial matcha delivers. What distinguishes Taiki Tea is their commitment to authentic sourcing and quality. Their ceremonial matcha is traditionally grown on a single tea farm in Uji, a region prized across the globe for producing the finest matcha. Unlike many commercial matchas harvested multiple times per year, Taiki's tea plants are harvested just once annually, allowing leaves to develop their full flavour potential. This meticulous approach results in matcha with a vivid green colour, remarkably smooth taste and natural sweet undertones—hallmarks of true ceremonial grade quality. The premium matcha comes in protective packaging: tins feature inner and outer lids to ensure freshness, while packets use resealable foil-lined kraft material. Beyond their core ceremonial matcha, Taiki Tea offers culinary grade options perfect for baking, smoothies and juices. For those seeking an authentic experience, their ceremonial gift sets pair premium organic matcha with traditional handmade Japanese tea ceremony utensils, including matcha bowls specially commissioned from East London ceramic artist Anna Starr. Available at Tesco in the UK, Taiki Tea bridges East London innovation with centuries of Japanese tea tradition. Compare prices on Grocefully for this premium organic matcha.
