The origin story

Matcha for motion — lattes, shakers, mornings

Not every matcha moment is a ceremony. Matcha Lift is the same quality of stone-ground leaf, lightly sweetened and built for the days that move fast — iced lattes, post-run shakers, the commute cup. Ritual when you want it, lift when you need it.

Questions

Before you brew

Where does this tea actually come from?

Stone-ground green tea · Lightly sweetened — ceremony collection. Every KVL single-estate tea traces to one garden, one flush, one harvest window, and our blends are built from estate teas we can name. If we can't trace it, we don't sell it.

How fresh is it?

Most commercial tea is 12–18 months old before it reaches a shelf. Ours travels from estate to your door in 4–8 weeks. Stored sealed, away from light and heat, it will hold its character for 12 months or more.

How many cups will I get?

A 2 oz (50 g) pouch brews roughly 20–25 cups; 3.5 oz (100 g) roughly 40–50. Most of our whole-leaf teas re-steep well, so the real number is usually higher.

What is the artwork on the tin?

Original artwork by Chitran, created for this tea. Each illustration draws from Indian cultural traditions and tells the story of this tea's character — a fusion of English and Hindu artistic traditions, and a different image for every tea we make.

    Matcha Lift

    An approachable stone-ground matcha blend from Nilgiri's Chamraj estate — vibrant, naturally sweetened, and ready to lift your day.

    Our Matcha Lift is crafted for those who love the energy and vibrancy of matcha but prefer a slightly more approachable cup. Built on stone-ground matcha from the Chamraj estate in Nilgiri and blended with a touch of natural sweetness, it delivers the full benefits of high-quality matcha without bitterness.

    The cup is smooth and bright with the deep vegetal character of whole-leaf matcha, balanced by a natural sweetness that makes it exceptionally easy to enjoy.

    Whisk it, blend it, or cold-brew it — Matcha Lift is designed to fit your day.


    Origin

    Sourced from the Chamraj estate in the Nilgiri hills of South India. The same high-altitude, mist-covered growing conditions that produce our Matcha Ritual form the foundation for this blend. The addition of natural sweetener creates a more accessible cup while preserving the estate integrity of the matcha itself.
