about us

What is The Matcha Club?

The Matcha Club was founded to introduce premium, authentic, and organic Japanese matcha to New Zealand and beyond. Recognising the lack of high-quality, reliable matcha options in New Zealand, we set out to create a brand dedicated to offering the finest, most flavourful ceremonial matcha available.

Through direct partnerships with renowned matcha farms in Japan, we source certified organic matcha green tea powders of exceptional quality and freshness. Crafted exclusively from 100% Japanese green tea leaves, our matcha showcases the artistry of Japanese tea cultivation, with each grade reflecting the distinct character of its harvest time.

At The Matcha Club, we offer two exquisite ceremonial-grade matcha options, each crafted to suit your preferences and lifestyle. Here's how they differ:

What’s the Difference Between Our Matcha Products?

First Harvest Ceremonial Matcha
(Ceremonial Grade 50g)

This is the pinnacle of matcha perfection, made exclusively from the first flush (Ichibancha) leaves for a pure, vibrant flavour. Ideal for traditional matcha enthusiasts, this single-origin matcha from Shizuoka, Japan, is perfect for Koicha (thick tea) and Usucha (thin tea). With a velvety texture and umami-rich profile, it's a luxurious choice for those seeking an elevated tea experience.

Signature Ceremonial Matcha
(Latte Grade 50g)

Crafted from a blend of first and second flush leaves, this versatile matcha balances tradition and modernity. Its smooth, balanced flavour is perfect for both traditional tea preparation and creative matcha drinks like lattes. Slightly more affordable but equally high in quality, it’s the go-to for matcha lovers who value variety.

Whether you're enjoying a delicious matcha tea or latte, cooking up something creative, or baking a treat, our matcha selection has the perfect option to enhance every moment.
