We are a company specializing in Japanese tea, tea pairing and related product development.
Our main company is a design company that applies Japanese culture and art to modern styles.
The scope of our work ranges from concept creation, food consulting, branding, product development, visuals and space design.
Three years ago, we established a Japanese tea shop and cafe in Kyoto where we also offer training programs for restaurants and cafes.
We buy our teas directly from our tea farmers without intermediaries. We offer top quality teas that are not available at any other retailer. Through our close relationship with the most famous tea masters in Japan, we can make this possible.
Every tea we are offering is carefully selected and we only sell tea that we are 100% confident about. We also received the highest award (Platinum Award) at the Nihoncha Award this year.
Our teas can be divided into two main categories:
Premium Tea: Hand-Picked and competition grade teas that are produced only in small quantities.
Daily use: High quality at a reasonable price.
How to identify high quality tea:
You can tell the quality of tea to some extent by looking at the tea leaves without drinking it.
The requirements for a high quality Matcha:
1. bright green
2. fine particles
3. a strong Umami and sweetness
4. “Ooika” which translates as “shaded aroma” is often described as a seaweed (nori)-like scent. For Matcha and other shaded green teas Ooika is the most important quality feature.
What is Ujicha?
Ujicha is grown in the four prefectures Kyoto, Shiga, Nara and Mie. Kyoto is the cradle of matcha and matcha grown there is considered to be the highest quality in Japan.
By statute, in order to be declared as Ujicha, at least 51% of the tea must come from one of the mentioned prefectures. However, at MA LLC. we only offer matcha that is 100% grown in Kyoto.
Origin: Wazuka, Kyoto
Very creamy and complex taste with strong umami, nice fruitiness, slightly fresh and "green" and not even a hint of bitterness.
This Matcha can also be used for "Koicha".
