Matcha & Beyond

Authentic Japanese Matcha Products

Matcha & Beyond specializes in importing premium matcha (powdered green tea) directly from Japan, focusing on both retail and wholesale distribution. Founded by nutritional therapist Olivia Nottin, the company emerged from a mission to provide healthier alternatives to coffee and sugar-loaded lattes.

Quality Standards and Certifications

All matcha grades are certified organic through both JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) and EU organic certification bodies. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for radiation, heavy metals, and pesticides to ensure the highest quality standards. The company maintains strict quality control from farm to package.

Product Processing and Freshness

To guarantee peak freshness, Matcha & Beyond grinds its matcha to order at the farm. The freshly ground powder is packaged in oxygen-free pouches or tins and air-shipped directly to London. This approach ensures customers receive the freshest possible product with optimal flavor and nutritional benefits.

The processing method follows traditional Japanese techniques: freshly plucked tea leaves are steamed, de-veined, and air-dried. The raw leaves are carefully stored away from heat and direct sunlight before grinding, preserving their delicate flavor profile and high antioxidant content.

Health Benefits and Nutritional Value

The company’s matcha offers numerous health benefits, serving as an ideal alternative to coffee with its delicate taste, smooth texture, and high antioxidant content. The shading process used before harvest naturally preserves chlorophyll and boosts the tea’s nutritional profile, creating a product rich in L-theanine and other beneficial compounds.
