About Us

The Little Matcha Master 

Born from the creative spirit of Ooh La La Confectionery, The Little Matcha Master is our dedicated exploration into the art and ritual of matcha. While Ooh La La is celebrated for its whimsical confections and French-inspired sweets, The Little Matcha Master delves into the serene world of Japanese tea culture, offering a curated collection of matcha teas, traditional accessories, and confections that marry Eastern tradition with Western craftsmanship.

Our journey began when founder Karen Schneid, captivated by the depth and elegance of matcha after first tasting it at a chocolate show in France, traveled to Japan to source the finest ceremonial-grade matcha from the renowned Nishio region. This direct partnership ensures that every product we offer embodies authenticity, quality, and a deep respect for tradition.

At The Little Matcha Master, we invite you to experience the harmony of flavours, the tranquility of preparation, and the joy of indulgence that matcha brings.

All About Matcha

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Unlike traditional green tea, where leaves are steeped and discarded, matcha involves consuming the entire leaf, offering a more potent source of nutrients and antioxidants.

Grades of Matcha

The highest quality, with a vibrant green hue and delicate flavour, ideal for traditional tea ceremonies and pure enjoyment.

Slightly more robust, perfect for lattes, smoothies, baking, and confections, while still maintaining a delightful taste.

Health Benefits

Matcha is celebrated for its numerous health benefits:

• Rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help prevent cell damage.
• Enhances metabolism and aids in weight management.
• Provides a calm alertness due to its unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine.
• Supports heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure.
• Boosts the immune system and detoxifies the body naturally.

Our Matcha Promise

Sourced directly from our little farm in Nishio, Japan, our matcha is stone-ground to preserve its vibrant colour and nuanced flavour. Each batch is freshly milled and shipped to ensure maximum freshness and potency.
