We were searching for a quality brand of matcha tea so that we could make it in the early mornings in the comfort of our own homes. But when we started shopping around, we were\u00a0disappointed with our findings.\u00a0Matcha has become so popular now that unfortunately, many brands that claim to have the &#8220;best matcha&#8221; are actually selling low-grade, poor quality ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>When we discovered <span style=\"color: #86c498;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/houseofmatcha.jp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House of Matcha<\/a>,<\/span> we could tell this brand was different. The company was created by three friends who shared a vision\u00a0to bring the of 800 years of Japanese practice and perfection to the West. Together, they traveled back and forth to Asia in search of high quality matcha, visiting several tea farm, until they eventually found a farm in Uji, Kyoto, Japan, that has been growing tea for 11 generations.<\/p>\n<dl id=\"attachment_4403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 3024px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\" data-imagelightbox=\"g\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4403\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedcdarlings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/32EDC0FA-5738-4960-8C8D-DCABE61159AF.jpg?resize=1440%2C1920\" alt=\"Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedcdarlings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/32EDC0FA-5738-4960-8C8D-DCABE61159AF.jpg?w=3024&amp;ssl=1 3024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedcdarlings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/32EDC0FA-5738-4960-8C8D-DCABE61159AF.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedcdarlings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/32EDC0FA-5738-4960-8C8D-DCABE61159AF.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedcdarlings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/32EDC0FA-5738-4960-8C8D-DCABE61159AF.jpg?w=2880 2880w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\">House of Matcha Set, complete with handmade bamboo Chashaku (scoop) and Chasen (whisk), and a handmade 350ml double wall glass bowl<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p><span style=\"color: #86c498;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/houseofmatcha.jp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House of Matcha<\/a><\/span> supplies sustainably-sourced\u00a0ceremonial matcha (<em>koicha<\/em>) from Tencha tea bushes on their farm in Uji.
