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 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!!!!

No sólo es buena calidad sino que el packaging y branding son 10/10

Best matcha I’ve tasted since coming Home from Japan! So high quality, with a perfectly balanced flavour and vibrant green colour. Love, love, love!

Really delicious and super quality matcha!! (love the chasen!)

I didn’t expect that amazing taste , texture. Officially in my best 3 brands of matcha ! Thanks for all ! You have me as long last customer 😍😍😍

This was the first matcha I’ve tried and it was so delicious! It’s definitely a “beginner-friendly” taste. It’s creamy and has a slight nutty taste. I loved it so much that I’m onto my second batch! 10/10 Highly Recommend.

I love the powder, its so good!
Whisks into the creamiest matcha ever, taste is also stunning! Will definitely be repurchasing ⭐️

The shipping to England seemed to take a bit longer than usual from EU but once it arrived… this matcha is really good, especially for a non-Japanese brand. It’s creamy, well seived and not oxidised. The branding is cute too unlike some brands now. The next step is to offer 100g tins as well as 30!

If you want to make a gift for yourself, I highly recommend buying this matcha. The flavor is extraordinary, fresh with notes of vanilla and chocolate😍
