Premium Uji Matcha Powder from Japan

From the brand EXPLORE KIYO MATCHA > Previous page

Our mission at Kiyo Matcha is to inspire a modern appreciation for the traditional Japanese art of "Cha-Do," encouraging a slower, more contemplative pace of life. We have curated a collection that embodies the essence of this tranquil art form, sourcing our matcha from the verdant hills of Uji, Kyoto, Japan. This locale is renowned for its matcha, epitomizing the harmonious blend of Japanese nature and craftsmanship, inviting you to experience matcha at its finest.

What sets our products apart?

• Diverse Sourcing: Rather than limiting ourselves to a single farm or factory, we leverage a broad network throughout Japan to source the best matcha available.

• Authenticity: We take pride in offering truly authentic matcha, sourced directly from Japan, right down to the materials used in our packaging.

What problem are we addressing?

• Limited Supply: Japan contributes only 7% of the global green tea production, with a mere 5% of that exported. We help mitigate this scarcity by curating a selection of top-quality matcha from Japan's domestic market and making it accessible worldwide.
