Premium Matcha Powder and More

Matcha is more than just a trend.

It's a traditional art form representing Japanese culture and values, passed on through generations. It is an invitation to slow down, align focus and calm, and extend respect to all things.

After all, life is "Ichi-go Ichi-e (一期一会)"
- every moment is unique, and we must remember to appreciate the present.

So whether you're enjoying a peaceful Friday afternoon or rushing through a chaotic Monday morning,
chacha maimai is here to soothe your soul.

Frequently asked questions

Where are your matcha powders sourced from?

Our products, including matcha powders, are 100% products of Japan. Our matcha are from different regions of Japan - some from Kagoshima, Shimane, and Kyoto.

Do you sell ceremonial-grade matcha?

There is no "ceremonial" tea in the Japanese matcha grading system. However, in a traditional tea ceremony, the host will make usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) for their guests.

At chacha maimai, we follow the Japanese tea grading system and rank matcha based on elements such as:

- purpose: for koicha / usucha / latte and desserts / cooking and baking

- harvesting method: hand-picked / machine harvested

- milling process: stone milled / machine

When will I get my order?

Please allow 1-2 business days for processing. Once your order has been packed shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

OUR STORY

Hi, we're the founders of chacha maimai.

In need of comfort and healing after loss, Yoshie began reconnecting with her childhood to slow down. With her husband Kaichi, they began deep diving into the Japanese culture through food and art, including the world of 茶道 (sado) - the way of tea.
