Tsuki Matcha is a Japanese matcha brand dedicated to offering high‑quality, shade‑grown matcha sourced from renowned tea regions such as Shizuoka and Kagoshima in Japan. Its range highlights the emblematic Yabukita cultivar, appreciated for its natural balance of sweetness, umami and gentle bitterness, making the teas approachable for both people discovering matcha and more experienced tea drinkers.
The brand focuses on traditional Japanese methods: tea plants are shaded for around three weeks before harvest, young leaves are hand‑picked during the first spring flush, then carefully processed and slowly stone‑ground to produce a fine, silky powder with a vivid green color.
Tsuki Matcha offers several Japanese matcha powders crafted for different uses and taste preferences, all made from shade‑grown Yabukita leaves. The range includes ceremonial matcha for pure tasting and lattes, as well as a more intense culinary matcha designed for cooking and pâtisserie.
Original Ceremonial Matcha is produced from Yabukita leaves grown in Shizuoka. The tea plants are shaded for three weeks before the first spring harvest, and the leaves are hand‑picked, then processed and stone‑ground into a fine, silky powder with a bright green colour. This matcha is described as naturally sweet, with low bitterness and a delicate texture, and is intended to be enjoyed either traditionally with water or in hot and iced lattes.
Vanilla Ceremonial Matcha is grown in the volcanic and fertile region of Kagoshima, also from the Yabukita cultivar. It is combined with natural vanilla extracts, which bring biscuit‑like, round and comforting notes, and is likewise stone‑ground to a smooth, vivid green powder. This matcha is positioned as both authentic and indulgent, particularly suited to creamy lattes, hot or cold, but it can also be prepared more traditionally for a gentle, dessert‑like cup.
Culinary Matcha is cultivated in Shizuoka from Yabukita and offers a more pronounced vegetal intensity with slight bitterness. Its aromatic profile is presented as ideal for baking, cooking, smoothies and richer lattes. This product currently benefits from a special clearance offer linked to stock adjustments, with a best‑before date around March 2026 (or March/April 2026 in kit formats); this date is clearly indicated as not being a use‑by date, and unopened pouches are described as preserving their quality, colour and aroma. Some units are packaged in Canadian‑origin packaging, while the product itself remains the same.
Across its range, Tsuki Matcha communicates on controlled bitterness, smooth textures and carefully selected origins (Shizuoka and Kagoshima) for its Yabukita matcha. The brand details shading duration, harvest period, grinding method and best‑before information, and clearly indicates any packaging particularities, especially for culinary batches and discovery kits that combine ceremonial and culinary matcha.
Tsuki Matcha represents a new wave of Japanese matcha, born from a very personal encounter with a truly good bowl of matcha abroad and the frustration of not finding the same quality back in France. Rather than accept bitter, sugary drinks or overpriced powders, the future founder decided to create a brand that would make high‑quality Japanese matcha both accessible and easy to understand for a wider audience.
Back in France after discovering high-quality matcha abroad, the future founder of Tsuki Matcha decides to create a brand that makes good Japanese matcha accessible. In December 2023, she contacts dozens of producers in Japan and begins tasting and comparing samples to identify the right partner.
After months of testing, a matcha sourced from Japanese farms in regions such as Shizuoka and Kagoshima is selected for its vivid colour, smooth texture and balanced flavour. Tsuki Matcha officially launches with a range built around Yabukita ceremonial and culinary matcha, aiming to offer organic, approachable Japanese matcha for everyday rituals
