MATCHA · RICHMOND, BC
From our daily Shizuoka foundation to selected Wazuka upgrades, our matcha program is built for color, aroma, texture, and balance in the cup.
OUR MATCHA STANDARD
Our matcha program starts at ceremonial grade. We choose matcha for color, aroma, bitterness control, texture, and how the drink holds its sweetness and structure as it warms or cools.
The program centers on ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha, shade-grown tea material, stone-milled texture, and drinks that stay balanced in milk-based and clear matcha formats.
01
Our foundation matcha is a ceremonial-grade Shizuoka matcha used as part of our everyday drink program. It sets our baseline for clean bitterness, green aroma, and balance, but it is not the main retail focus of our matcha program.
02
Our upgrade matcha comes from the Wazuka area of Kyoto's Uji tea region through direct small-producer relationships. These matcha selections are shade-grown and stone-milled, with profiles chosen for color, aroma, umami, texture, and how they perform in milk-based and clear matcha drinks.
Selected Wazuka Kyoto upgrades may be available depending on season, availability, and drink design.

These profiles describe how selected matcha behaves in drinks. They are not a promise that matcha powders are available for retail sale.
007
A clean, elegant matcha profile with a fresh green aroma and visually striking color. Best for straight drinking or drinks where a lifted green fragrance should remain clear.
008
A rounder matcha profile with deeper savoriness and a softer, fuller texture. Especially suited to milk-based matcha drinks where body and texture matter.
009
Less intensely aromatic than 007 and less umami-heavy than 008, with a clean profile designed for crafted drinks where clarity, color, and drinkability need to stay in balance.
HOJICHA PROFILE
010 Hojicha is a lighter, more delicate hojicha made from selected Wazuka tea material. Instead of heavy roast bitterness, it carries a clean roasted aroma with a fresh and refined finish.
MATCHA DRINKS
Selection may change by season and availability. Please check the in-store menu for the current matcha lineup. Selected Japanese teas, including matcha and hōjicha, may be available online depending on current stock and release timing.
