Matcha is different from regular tea. Instead of steeping leaves, matcha is made from finely ground tea leaves that are mixed directly with water. This means you drink the entire tea leaf, maximizing the health benefits in each sip!

1. Gather Your Tools

• Chawan (tea bowl)
• Chasen (bamboo whisk)
• Chashaku (bamboo scoop)
• Fine mesh strainer
• Matchapapa’s Signature Grade Matcha
• Hot water (80°C / 176°F)

2. Sift & Smooth
Sift 1-3 grams (1-2 teaspoons) of matcha into your chawan for a smooth, clump-free tea.

3. Add Water

• Matcha: Pour 70-100 ml of hot (70-80°) water over the sifted matcha.
• Matcha Latte: Use 60-70 ml of water and add some plant-based milk.
• Koicha: Use just a few drips of water and enjoy as a creamy paste.

4. Whisk it Real Good
Whisk in a 'W' or 'M' motion until tiny bubbles form on top.

5. Enjoy the Ritual
Sip directly from the chawan or pour it into your favorite cup.

Matcha is rich in antioxidants like catechins, which boost metabolism, fight free radicals, and improve focus. It also contains L-theanine, promoting calmness while maintaining alertness—perfect for a focused, zen state.

Absolutely! You can add a natural sweetener like honey or agave. For matcha lattes, we recommend plant-based milks like oat or almond, as dairy can reduce the absorption of matcha’s antioxidants.

We recommend about 5 grams per day, which is roughly two servings. This provides a balanced intake of matcha without overdoing it.

At MATCHAPAPA, we prioritize flavor and quality above all else. Our matcha is crafted using traditional Japanese farming methods that maximize taste, color, and nutrient density. While EU Organic certification has stricter requirements, these often lead to compromises in matcha quality due to limitations on certain natural farming practices. Our approach ensures you experience matcha as it’s enjoyed daily in Japan—vibrant, nutrient-rich, and safe to consume without concerns.

With our first drop we currently offer a Yabukita cultivar, known for its delicate sweetness and balanced flavor, making it one of Japan's most cherished tea varieties. Our matcha is sourced exclusively from Kagoshima, Japan—a region famous for its mineral-rich volcanic soil, which enhances the tea’s vibrant color, smooth texture, and nutritional profile.

We select only premium ceremonial-grade matcha, ensuring that each batch meets the highest standards of quality and authenticity, ideal for traditional matcha preparations.

More matcha grades will be introduced soon.

Currently, we offer shipping within most European countries via home delivery and InPost Locker Delivery (available only in Spain). MATCHAPAPA is actively working to expand our shipping options and make the products available worldwide in the future.

To keep your matcha fresh, store it in a cool, dark place, ideally in the fridge. Make sure the container is airtight to prevent moisture from affecting the powder.

Clumps can form if matcha isn’t mixed thoroughly. To prevent this, sift the powder before whisking, or whisk vigorously to break up any clumps. For cold matcha, mix with a small amount of warm liquid before adding cold water.

Yes! Our matcha is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and free from common allergens, making it suitable for various dietary preferences and lifestyles.
