Ceremonial Matcha Ichigo Ichie '一期一会' | Simply Native Original

Ichigo Ichie 一期一会 – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter
Inspired by the spirit of Japanese tea ceremony, Ichigo Ichie (一期一会) reminds us that every moment is unique and will never come again. This philosophy encourages us to treat each meeting—whether with people or experiences—as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, deserving of our full presence, sincerity, and care.

Rooted in the teachings of tea master Sen no Rikyu, Ichigo Ichie invites us to cherish the present moment and offer our very best hospitality.

We hope this spirit is felt as you enjoy a peaceful, meaningful moment with this matcha.
May it become a special memory, just for you.

Simply Native Original Matcha
At Simply Native, matcha is more than just a drink—it’s a craft.

Founder Yukino, a student of the Urasenke school of tea, spent over four years perfecting our first ceremonial grade matcha. At its heart is the art of blending: combining carefully selected tea leaves to create depth, harmony, and richness in every sip.

We set out to create a matcha that’s both beautifully flavourful and comfortably priced. Whether you enjoy it straight or as a latte, its bold, balanced taste holds up wonderfully.

To honour the spirit of this matcha, we collaborated with Keiho Nakahara, a traditional woodcarver from Saga, Japan, and Melinda Heal, a textile artist from Canberra. Together, they helped bring meaning and story to each tin.
