Johannesburg, South Africa – Move over coffee, there’s a new green star in town! SANRAE, a South African wellness brand, is introducing Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea from Japan, a superfood ritual designed to boost energy, focus, and glow from within.
Matcha isn’t just another health trend, it’s a centuries-old tradition that has fueled Japanese wellness and mindfulness for generations. Unlike regular green tea, matcha is shade-grown, stone-ground, and enjoyed in its purest form, ensuring you get the full benefit of its antioxidants, amino acids, and vibrant green goodness.
Why Matcha?
- Provides calm, sustained energy without the jitters of coffee
- Rich in antioxidants that support skin, hair, and overall vitality
- Enhances focus and clarity, making it perfect for busy lifestyles
- A versatile superfood – enjoy it as a tea, latte, smoothie booster, or even in baked treats
“Matcha changed my life. It gave me back my energy, my glow, and my balance. Now, I want South Africans to experience the same,” says Kylie Jane, Founder of SANRAE and wellness advocate.
Why Ceremonial Matcha?
Not all matcha is created equal. The difference comes down to which leaves are used and how the tea is grown and prepared.
Ceremonial Matcha – made from the youngest, freshest shade-grown leaves, carefully stone-ground into a fine, vibrant green powder. The result is smooth, naturally sweet, and rich in umami, ideal for drinking traditionally or in a simple latte.
Culinary Matcha, made from more mature leaves, with a stronger, slightly bitter flavour and darker colour. This grade is best suited for recipes, smoothies, and baking where matcha is blended with other ingredients.
Choosing ceremonial means choosing the highest grade of matcha, with brighter colour, smoother taste, and the full ritual experience of this centuries-old Japanese tradition.
SANRAE’s Ceremonial Matcha is sourced from a family-run farm in Shizuoka, Japan, the heartland of matcha, celebrated for its mineral-rich volcanic soil and long-standing tea-growing heritage. Shade-grown and stone-ground, it is vibrant green, silky smooth, naturally sweet, and rich in umami, turning every cup into a mindful ritual of nourishment and calm.
“At SANRAE, we believe health isn’t about perfection. It’s about small, joyful rituals that brighten your everyday. A simple matcha latte in the morning can set the tone for a radiant day,” adds Kylie.
This launch marks just the beginning of SANRAE’s journey, with more superfoods and wellness products on the way, all designed to help South Africans thrive with balance, beauty, and inner nourishment.
