2015.
It all started with a trip to Japan.

To the Japanese, tea was a form of refined art. There we learnt about the traditions and cultures of Chado – The Way of Tea. Our hearts

were drawn towards this, particularly Matcha – Shaded Green Tea.

Back home, the search for that unforgettable Matcha experience was in vain. The lack of places introducing Matcha brought us back to Japan, this time, to source for the various premium ingredients

from different prefectures.

Driven to learn more about the ingredients we are bringing home, we approached Tea Farmers and Tea Masters directly. These, and our frequent travels, influenced our creations at Matchaya. We believe in challenging the norms by recreating flavours and textures, yet

retaining the quality and authenticity of the ingredient.

So, take heart in knowing that every time you try Matchaya, you are enjoying a part of Japan.
