MATCHAPAPA’s Yabukita Ceremonial Grade Matcha comes straight from the volcanic heart of Kagoshima, Japan, where centuries of eruptions left behind rich layers of mineral-packed ash known as shirasu. This unique volcanic soil, paired with abundant rainfall and skilled farming, creates the perfect storm for cultivating next-level matcha.
Our matcha is single-origin, grown with care, shaded for 3–4 weeks to boost chlorophyll and sweetness, then harvested during the precious first flush (Ichibancha) – when the flavor is at its purest and most vibrant.
Stone-ground to perfection, the result is a smooth, umami-rich matcha with a taste so deep, it feels out of this world. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just starting your matcha ritual – this one’s made to impress.

Opens with a delicate white chocolate aroma—creamy, light, and inviting. On the palate, it offers exceptional natural sweetness, almost no astringency, and a deep, velvety umami. Silky, mellow, and luxuriously smooth.
PREPARATION
PREPARATION
- Sift 2–3g (about 1–1.5 tsp) of matcha into a bowl.
- Add 60–70ml of hot water (ideally 70–75°C).
- Whisk in a zigzag motion until a smooth, frothy layer forms.
- Enjoy it traditionally as Usucha (thin tea) or for a more intense experience, try it as Koicha (thick tea).
It also shines beautifully in a premium matcha latte.





I couldn’t be happier to have discovered MatchaPapa! The matcha is absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of natural sweetness and rich flavor—an absolute treat to enjoy at home. While the price is on the higher side, the quality absolutely makes it worth it. Beyond the incredible taste, I’m also a big fan of their entire brand identity. The logo, colors, and packaging are so well thought out and aesthetically pleasing, making the experience even better.

Overall, the beautiful complexity and taste profile of the matcha, which I have been enjoying very much, combined with the funky yet meaningful branding makes this matcha brand one to look out for!
I am totally thrilled with the taste and color of this product. The rich green is much more intense compared to another product I had consumed before. The flavor is very intense, and you can recognize the typical green tea aroma. When prepared correctly at 80°C, the drink feels velvety on the palate. I can no longer drink my previous matcha product after having tested this one.
I’m so impressed with Matchapapa’s ceremonial matcha! The flavor is smooth and balanced with a nutty sweetness, a touch of vegetal notes and umami, and just a hint of pleasant bitterness. Light to medium bodied, but still layered enough to feel interesting.
The color is a vibrant jade green that makes every cup look luxurious, and it whisks up beautifully into a creamy froth. Honestly, the experience feels both beginner-friendly and high quality, easy to drink, yet satisfying for someone who has tried many different matcha brands.
Bonus points for the design. The tin is gorgeous and makes the ritual feel even more special.
Highly recommend this as both a daily go-to and as a little luxury in your cup 🍵💚
Let customers speak for us
from 52 reviewsIt widely exceded my expectations.
The colour so vibrant,the texture is spot on what you want of matcha low bitterness balanced astringency, sweet and umami rich.
I 100% repurchase

Really nice smell, mild to taste and the color was vibrant green :) Loved it!

I first tried the Yabukita Single Cultivar from this brand and had such a pleasant experience that I decided to repurchase it — and also try their new launch, the Yame Ceremonial Blend. At first, I was a little worried it wouldn’t live up to the Yabukita, especially since I mostly use matcha for lattes, warm or iced.
I’m happy to say my experience with the Yame blend has been very positive. Even in a latte, its flavor really comes through, which to me is a sign of high quality. Compared to the Yabukita, it’s definitely a brighter, deeper green and has its own distinct taste that feels smooth and balanced.
This is a pricier matcha, but I haven’t been disappointed with either of the products I’ve tried from this brand — the quality is obvious. If you’re looking to make matcha at home, I’d definitely recommend giving these a try. And don’t be afraid to experiment! Adjust the amount of milk to your liking for a stronger or more delicate flavor. That’s what I did, and I really enjoyed the result.

definitely amazing!!! I used to buy mY matcha’s on Amazon (often questionable quality) but now I just want to buy MATCHAPAPA. love IT

Ho ordinato il set rituale del matcha ed è stata un’esperienza super positiva. 🌿
Il kit è davvero bello, curato nei dettagli e di ottima qualità. Si percepisce chiaramente la passione e l’attenzione che vengono messi nel selezionare e proporre i prodotti: nulla è lasciato al caso. Anche il servizio è stato impeccabile, puntuale e affidabile. Consigliatissimo a chi ama il matcha o vuole avvicinarsi a questo rituale con strumenti autentici e ben fatti.

I have no words about this matcha. To put it into simple words it was absolute heaven. Umami taste - rich texture and undebatably premium quality. I 100% reccommend this.

I used to make matcha at home all the time, then stopped for a while. When I decided to start again, I wanted something high quality. The most important thing for me is that it tastes good and has that original matcha flavor. This one is exactly to my liking — even just opening the tin, you can already tell: it smells amazing and has a beautiful, vibrant green color.
Every cup I’ve made has been flavorful, and I especially enjoy the rich umami taste this matcha brings. I’d recommend experimenting with different types of milk, as I did, to find the one that complements the flavor best. A very overpowering milk can cover up the delicate notes, and that would be a shame, because the taste of this matcha really deserves to shine through.
Yes, it’s slightly more expensive compared to some others I saw online, but I’m so glad I went for it. If you’re looking to make matcha at home with truly quality ingredients, this is one I’d definitely recommend.

I‘ve tried many matchas before but the taste and deep green color of Matchapapa is unmatched. Website and shipping all worked perfectly, I do highly recommend Matchapapa 🤩

Amazing ceremonial grade matcha, perfect to make your matcha lattes at home. Subtle taste, nice color

A matcha brand made with love. From the packaging to the taste and quality of the matcha - simply amazing. Love the attention to detail.

I think this is the best matcha I´ve had so far, wow!!!!
