ICHIYO

At Matcha Mate our matcha is sourced directly from trusted farmers and a respected tea company in Japan. We work closely with them to bring you the finest matcha from both the Uji region in Kyoto and Yame in Fukuoka. Carefully selected for its vibrant colour, smooth texture, and rich umami flavour, our matcha supports sustainable farming practices and the craftsmanship of our partners.

Store in a cool, dry place before and after opening. Always keep container sealed tightly and away from direct light, heat and moisture. Pro Tip: If possible, best kept in the refrigerator to prolong freshness.
