Origin

How to store

Single origin from Uji, Japan

NagiSakura and KinSan are sourced through an exclusive partnership with Kitagawa Hanbee — a tea producer with over 160 years of history in Uji, Kyoto.

The arrangement provides consistent access to a grade of raw material that is not commercially available through standard wholesale channels.

Preparation Guide

Hand whisking
Sift 4g tea powder into a bowl, add 60ml water, and whisk briskly in a W-motion until a fine foam forms. Use as a base for water, milk, or other ingredients.
With the Cha Maker
Add 60ml water to the Cha Maker first, then add 4g tea powder. Press the button, and a smooth, hand-whisk-quality tea shot is ready in 30-60 seconds. Use as a base for water, milk, or other ingredients.
Cha Maker

Designed around Cha Lab by Elaiksir's tea selection.

Cha Maker's automated whisking cycle — spreading, blending, foaming, and homogenizing — is calibrated to produce smoother texture, denser foam, and more consistent flavor expression with no temperature management, whisking technique, or sifting required.

Why Cha Lab by Elaiksir

Cha Lab by Elaiksir works exclusively with a limited number of Japanese tea producers whose standards align with our philosophy of precision tea craft.

NagiSakura was selected for its distinctive balance of fresh aromatics and mild umami structure. KinSan is selected specifically for roasting — processed to an ultra-fine 800–1000 mesh texture for smoother suspension, reduced grittiness, and a more continuous flavor expression in both straight tea and milk-based preparation.

FAQ

Can I prepare them cold?

Yes. Our tea powders perform well in both hot and iced beverages. For the best flavor and suspension, first whisk 4g tea powder with 60ml water to create a smooth concentrate as a base with milk, hot or ice water, or other ingredients as desired.

Do I need the Cha Maker to prepare the tea?

Cha Lab by Elaiksir’s tea powders can be prepared with a traditional matcha kit. While the Cha Maker manages temperature and whisking progression automatically — producing consistent results without technique or monitoring required.

What distinguishes Kinsan hojicha powder from other hojicha?

Most hojicha powders on the market are milled between 200–400 mesh, often using stems and fannings. Cha Lab by Elaiksir's hojicha is selected for roasting, milled to 800–1000 mesh — a fineness that produces full suspension without grittiness in hot, cold, and milk-based formats, batch-to-batch color and flavor consistency, and no additional preparation steps required to achieve a stable result.

How consistent is the output across a full service shift?

The ultra-fine particle structure suspends uniformly in both hot and cold applications, which means color and texture remain stable from the first cup to the last. When paired with the Cha Maker, output is mechanically consistent — no variation from staff technique or fatigue.

Is there the option for private label or long-term partnership?

Cha Lab by Elaiksir works with select café and hospitality partners on long-term sourcing arrangements. The engagements are handled case by case. To begin a conversation, contact sales@elaiksir.com directly
