Botanik Herbs & Tea

The heart of Botanik lies in the understanding that plants fill our world with beauty. We harness this beauty combining visual allure, robust flavors, and dynamic energies brought on by our world class herbal blends and teas. Sourced from both ancient premiere growing areas around the world, and locally from our hometown of Davis, California we are pushing a new wave of tea culture centered around quality, health consciousness, and sustainability. Our Matcha: Grown in the majestic hills of the Shizouka Prefecture, Japan, it is pesticide free and only uses only organic fertilizer produced by the local community. This practice maintains a sustainable closed-loop system that supports a thriving local ecosystem including rich soils and vast biodiversity. Connecting further with our planet, our farmer has configured an array of solar panels to shade the plants (shading is an ancient practice for producing TRUE matcha) while generating electricity for his village. The plants are hand-harvested in the spring, and ground using traditional stone-milling tools. While many matcha products offered by others are matcha blends from various conventional farms, ours is a true single-origin Japanese Matcha - no compromise. The difference is something you can see, smell, taste and feel. It brews a beautifully vibrant green color, has a bright grassy nose and a smooth creamy taste. The clean flavor is rich with umami, and possesses soft notes of buttermilk and walnut. With high levels of L-Theanine, you can expect an exceptional experience of calm with heightened attentiveness. We are VERY excited to be able to offer this superb quality matcha at an amazing value. Enjoy it in lattes, smoothies, sprinkled on food, or of course… straight-up on its own, leaving room to speak to you purely. Cheers
