About Us

Our Story

Seres was built to honor Jingshan’s timeless tea heritage through fair-trade sourcing and uncompromising purity.

Centuries ago, on the misty slopes of Zhejiang’s Jingshan Mountain, Zen monks perfected Dian Cha—the ancient art of whisking powdered green tea in ceremonial bowls. This historic region in China served as the early cradle for whisked tea culture, inspiring centuries of tea tradition across East Asia.

At Seres, we bridge that rich history with modern transparency, bringing pure, ethically sourced ceremonial matcha directly to your cup.

Nurtured by Jingshan’s Unique Microclimate

Great matcha starts with exceptional terroir. Nestled in Zhejiang’s historic tea-growing hills, our partner gardens benefit from a distinct natural environment:

• Persistent Mountain Mist: Cool valley fog and rolling mists naturally filter direct sunlight, encouraging the tea plants to retain high levels of L-theanine and chlorophyll. This yields a vibrant green leaf with a smooth, balanced flavor profile.

• Mineral-Dense Soil: Rich forest soil feeds the roots essential nutrients, contributing to a clean, refreshing sip packed with natural antioxidants.

• Balanced Flavor Profile: Crafted carefully from farm to bowl, Jingshan matcha offers a silky body, subtle floral undertones, and a crisp, aromatic finish.

Direct Sourcing. No Middlemen. No Inflated Markups.

Traditional tea supply chains often pass through multiple traders, exporters, and markups before reaching your kitchen. We keep things direct and transparent.

Our Promise:

By partnering directly with our growers, we ensure fair pay and 100% organic, lab-tested matcha in every cup. No middlemen, no fillers, no inflated markups—just real, exceptional matcha made accessible to all.
