savor the moment

A special matcha moment fresh from Uji, Kyoto. Our premium matcha is stone-milled in small batches and air-shipped to preserve its peak aroma and vibrancy. Sourced from a family farm that has perfected the craft over generations.

Enjoy handcrafted Kyoto tea lattes, traditional nerikiri wagashi, and our finest small-batch ceremonial matcha at our tea bar in Berkeley—or shop the very same tea we use.

Luscious. Umami rich.

Our online shop carries the matcha powder we have been serving at the cafe and the tools we used, handcrafted by Japanese artists using traditional techniques.

The unique soil and weather of Uji nurture the finest, best tasting matcha leaves. Our matcha is grown, handpicked and stone milled at a family-owned tea farm in Uji, Kyoto. The dedicated family has been growing tea over 450 years ago. It's generations of perfecting the craft of matcha.

Beautiful taste. Incredible health benefits. Enjoy your matcha moment.
