Our story

Matcha Latcha started with one realisation: with matcha, freshness is everything – yet almost nowhere can you find out when it was ground. So we decided this is exactly what we'd do differently: fresh milling right after harvest, and the date printed in black and white on every tin.

That's why we searched for so long. We approached dozens of suppliers, tasted piles of samples – and rejected most of them. We were looking for a partner in Uji we could work with long-term, one who could guarantee the freshness of every batch – not an anonymous wholesaler with last year's powder.

One more thing: every harvest tastes slightly different – like wine vintages. We don't hide it, we build on it. That's why we sell in drops tied to a specific harvest: a small batch, freshly ground, and when it's gone, we wait for the next one.

We're a married couple from Bratislava and Matcha Latcha is our shared project – an EU-based company, Matcha Latcha s.r.o. (company ID 57381976, Bratislava), with registered EU trademark no. 019241557. Our mission is to give everyone the chance to drink truly fresh matcha. We openly document the whole road to the first drop in The road to drop #1.
