Why we're different
The idea for Best at Matcha began after a visit to Japan, where the experience of true matcha was unforgettable. Back home, nothing came close. After days of craving that same feeling and focus, the vision became clear: to source the finest matcha directly from Japan and share it with people who value authenticity, wellness and quality.
From day one, we've worked closely with a Japanese producer to ensure every scoop reflects their craft and care. Best at Matcha exists to give the UK a matcha it can finally trust - one that brings a moment of calm and clarity to every day.
We work exclusively with a farmers in Shizuoka, Japan - a region renowned as Japan's premier tea-growing area. This isn't just about geography; it's about partnership. We know our growers personally, we understand their methods, and we share their unwavering commitment to quality.
Our matcha tastes as it should - vibrant, smooth, and naturally sweet with no bitterness. That's because we never compromise. Every batch is shade-grown, stone-ground, and ground to order in small batches to ensure maximum freshness. What arrives at your door is matcha in its truest, most potent form.
Sustainability isn't a buzzword for us, it's a responsibility. Our partner farms use traditional, eco-conscious growing methods that respect the land and the local community. We believe that the best matcha comes from farms that care for the environment as much as they care for the tea itself.
We take pride in doing things right. Every tin and pouch can be traced back to its origin. You're not just buying matcha, you're connecting with a place, a tradition, and the people who make it possible.
Meet our farm
Our matcha comes from a family-run farm in Shizuoka Prefecture, an area often referred to as Japan's tea capital. The farm has been cultivating tea for four generations, passing down traditional knowledge and techniques that simply can't be rushed or replicated.
The tea plants are shade-grown for several weeks before harvest, a labour-intensive process that boosts chlorophyll levels and creates matcha's signature vibrant green colour and sweet, umami-rich flavour. After harvest, only the finest leaves are selected, steamed, dried, and stone-ground into the ultra-fine powder you know and love.
This attention to detail, this respect for tradition, and this dedication to excellence—that's what you taste in every cup of Best at Matcha.
