YAKI DA
(JÆKI: DA - YAKEE-DAH)
Welsh: A drinking toast; good health.
The story of Yaki Da began with a personal journey shared by co-founders Hywel and Ellie. Like many, they relied on coffee to fuel their busy lives. But the inevitable side effects—anxiety, jitteriness, and energy crashes—took a toll.
Seeking a gentler alternative, they turned to matcha, captivated by its ability to provide sustained energy, mental clarity, and a host of health benefits. It felt like a revelation: a solution that nurtured both body and mind.
Yaki Da Matcha - Ceremonial Grade 50g
Elevate your daily ritual with Yaki Da’s Ceremonial Grade Matcha, a premium Japanese green tea powder sourced from the lush tea fields of Kagoshima, Japan. Handpicked during the first spring harvest, when the leaves are youngest and richest in flavour, our matcha delivers a naturally smooth, subtly sweet taste with noticeable umami and a gentle bitterness.
About Our Matcha...
-
First Harvest, Premium Quality
Our matcha is made from the very first spring leaves - young, tender, and bursting with nutrients. This means smoother taste, vibrant colour, and maximum health benefits.
-
Virgin Soil, Chemical-Free
Sourced from the volcanic soils of Kagoshima, Japan, our matcha is farmed without pesticides or chemicals by the same family for many generations.
-
Stone-Ground & Shade-Grown
We slow-grind our matcha using traditional stones after carefully shade-growing the leaves to boost chlorophyll and L-theanine. The result? A rich, umami flavour and balanced, jitter-free energy.
The Benefits Of Matcha
Sustained Energy Without the Crash
Matcha delivers a calm, focused energy thanks to its natural combination of caffeine and L-theanine—no jitters, no midday slump.
L-theanine slows the absorption of caffeine, promoting a steady energy curve and enhancing cognitive performance without overstimulation.
Rich In Antioxidants
Packed with catechins like EGCG, matcha helps fight oxidative stress, support immunity, and promote glowing skin from within.
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a powerful polyphenol known to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation at the cellular level.
Supports Mental Clarity
The L-theanine in matcha promotes alpha brain waves, helping you stay sharp, calm, and centered throughout the day.
Studies show L-theanine increases alpha activity in the brain, which is linked to a state of “relaxed alertness”—ideal for focus and flow.
Boosts Metabolism Naturally
Matcha may help increase fat oxidation and calorie burn, making it a great companion for a healthy lifestyle or active routine.
Research suggests that green tea catechins combined with caffeine can elevate thermogenesis and support weight management.
Detoxifies & Balances The Body
Shade-grown matcha is rich in chlorophyll, a natural detoxifier that supports healthy digestion and internal balance.
👉 Chlorophyll binds to heavy metals and harmful chemicals in the body, aiding in their removal through the liver and digestive system.
