Where does matcha come from?
Matcha is simply finely powdered green tea .
It first originated in China between the 8th and 10th century, where the practice of steaming and stone‑grinding tea leaves began.
Japan later developed a rich cultural tradition around matcha, including the well‑known tea ceremony that continues today.
Although many people associate matcha exclusively with Japan, its roots are firmly in China — and some of the highest quality matcha is still produced there today.
Our matcha is sourced from a remote, mountainous tea farm in China, chosen for its clean growing environment and consistent quality.
