Ceremonial Matcha
100 Grams
This bright green, extra-fine, stone-ground matcha, one of the highest grades available, is smooth, velvety, fresh, and delicately sweet.
This tea is best enjoyed in its purest form, whisked and prepared in tea ceremony style. It is the perfect choice to invigorate your mind and body. It can also be enjoyed with a little bit of sweetness or with added steamed milk.
What is Matcha?
Matcha is finely ground de-veined green tea leaves. Renowned for its use in the historic Japanese tea ceremony. It is a vivid green tea powder valued for its concentrated taste, mellow umami sweetness, and the health benefits of a high antioxidant content, fiber, and chlorophyll. One cup of matcha has the nutritional equivalent of ten cups of infused green tea.
Storage: Always store in a cool, dark place away from heat, humidity, direct sunlight, and odors. Matcha is extremely sensitive to light and heat. Once a package has been opened, keep it in the airtight tin and store it in the fridge.
Steeping matcha: Boil water and let it cool to about 175°F (80°C). It's important not to use boiling water, as it can make the matcha taste bitter. Pour about 2-4 ounces (60-120 ml) of this hot water into the bowl with the 1-2 teaspoons (or 2-4 grams) of matcha powder.
Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), rapidly whisk the matcha and water. Start whisking slowly to mix, then move faster, whisking back and forth in a "W" or "M" motion. The goal is to create a frothy layer on the top with tiny bubbles. This process usually takes about 15-30 seconds. Once your matcha has a nice frothy layer, it's ready to drink. Enjoy it immediately for the best flavor.

Our Why
At Map & Bean, we believe great coffee should tell you where it’s from.
Not just in words — but in taste.
Most coffee today is faceless. Roasted to sameness and stripped of its roots.
We exist to change that.
We believe coffee should take you places — to highland farms in Ethiopia, volcanic soil in Guatemala, or the lush hills of Colombia. Every region tells a story. Every bean carries its character. And every cup we roast is your invitation to explore the world, one origin at a time.
We want every cup to give you more than caffeine — we want it to give you context.
Because when you know the story behind your coffee, you experience it differently.
More thoughtfully. More gratefully. More deliciously.
This is coffee for explorers — for those who believe that flavor is shaped by place, and that every sip is an opportunity to travel the world.
Map & Bean isn’t for everyone. It’s for the curious. The conscious. The ones who believe great taste comes from great purpose.
When you care where your coffee comes from, you’re not just drinking better — you’re living better.
Welcome to the journey.
