Mei-san: A name, a soul, a taste.

At Maïdo, each matcha has a first name. Not just for aesthetics, but to reflect its character and identity.

Mei (芽依), in Japanese, means bud, young shoot, life emerging.
And that's exactly what it embodies: the gentleness of new beginnings, the tenderness of a calm morning, the promise of a moment for oneself.
It's the matcha that welcomes you gently, the one you discover with curiosity... and that you adopt without ever tiring of it.

Not pretentious, but full of charm.
A bit like a gentle friend offering you a cup with a smile: "Here, try this, you'll love it."

Why you'll love Mei-san?

Taste & Texture

Mei-san develops a round, sweet taste, without bitterness, with a beautiful lightness in the mouth. Its texture is silky and creamy once whisked. A real moment of tenderness.

Recommended use

Ideal for usucha (traditional light matcha) or matcha latte for a sweet and comforting break. Perfect for those new to matcha... or who want a bowl that's more zen than punchy.

Cultivar

Made from the Yabukita cultivar, the most prized in Japan for its aromatic balance, this matcha is grown in Mie Prefecture, a region with fertile soil and ideal humidity for shade-grown teas.

Why did we choose him?

Because it is both reassuring and refined. Mei-san is the matcha we wholeheartedly recommend to those who want a first truly good matcha. Mild, authentic, and of exceptional quality.

What makes matcha so special?

Gentle and stress-free energy

Unlike coffee, matcha boosts without the jitters. It promotes stress reduction, offering a calming and steady vitality, accompanied by a feeling of well-being that lasts for hours.

Powerful antioxidants

A small spoonful of matcha contains more antioxidants than a handful of blueberries. A real natural boost to support your body every day.

Calm & Mental Clarity

L-theanine naturally present in matcha promotes a clear, focused, and calm mind. Perfect for staying focused without tension. The zen and productive duo we love!

Easy digestion & happy tummy

Matcha aids digestion and reduces bloating. A gentle ally for those with sensitive stomachs.

FAQs

Mei-san is the epitome of smoothness: very little bitterness, a silky texture, a lovely roundness... and a subtle hint of hazelnut that caresses the palate.

Daichi-san, on the other hand, is like an imposing older brother: more intense, greener, livelier. If Mei-san whispers in your ear, Daichi-san speaks loudly (but with passion)

Absolutely! Mei-san is delicious as usucha (the traditional version, whisked with hot water) — that's how it's enjoyed to fully experience its sweetness and umami.

But if you're in the mood for a creamy, comforting latte, it's also perfectly suited for that. Its natural richness pairs perfectly with milk (dairy or plant-based), without any bitterness or overwhelming flavor. Mei-san is a matcha that aims to please, no matter how it's prepared.

Matcha contains a little caffeine (around 30 mg per serving), so as always during pregnancy: listen to your body, be reasonable, and if in doubt… ask your favorite doctor. Mei-san won't be offended.

Not at all. Mei-san, it's pure matcha, full stop. No sugar, no coloring, no added flavor. Just shade-grown Tencha leaves, hand-picked, then stone-ground. Nothing more, nothing hidden—and that's much better.

Sourced from Japan

We don't do things by halves: Mei-san matcha comes directly from a Japanese producer in Mie Prefecture, with no unnecessary intermediaries. We know the farmers, and we select what we would like to drink ourselves every morning.

100% Tencha Leaves

Real matcha is Tencha! These precious tea leaves are shade-grown, then slowly ground. No strange green powder here, just tradition in its purest form.

No sugar. No additives.

No hidden tricks or magic powders here. What you drink is 100% pure matcha. Nothing else. And frankly, it doesn't need anything else to shine.

Naturally rich in L-theanine

Matcha's little secret? It's that zen molecule that relaxes without making you sleepy. Concentration, calm, and clarity guaranteed. Not bad for a simple cup of tea, right?
