Its catalogue is tiered from vintage imperial lots and a single-[cultivar](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/cultivar) Okumidori down through mid-range ceremonial matcha to a bulk culinary grade, with a full set of preparation tools alongside. The company is registered in Switzerland.

[Browse the matcha video gallery](https://best-matcha.com/videos) ## Matcha Botanicals in details **Matcha Botanicals** sells ceremonial-grade matcha that it describes as coming from its own plantations in Japan, a vertical position few matcha brands can claim. It ships from its **Uji** plantation on a roughly two-week cycle, presented as a freshness measure rather than a logistics detail. The range is unusually tiered: vintage *imperial* lots at the top, a single-cultivar **Okumidori**, mid-range ceremonial matcha, flavoured options, and a bulk culinary grade for kitchens. The company is registered in Switzerland and stocked in cafés internationally. ## About the Matcha Botanicals Matcha **Matcha Botanicals** covers a wider quality span than most brands, from vintage imperial lots to bulk culinary matcha. ### Imperial and vintage tier - **Komorebi | Imperial Matcha, Vintage Edition 2026** — the current top-tier vintage release. - **Yumeno | Vintage Imperial Matcha** — sold as a *millésimé* (vintage) lot in several sizes. ### Ceremonial tier - **Tenkan Okumidori** — a single-cultivar ceremonial matcha from the *Okumidori* cultivar. - **Single Origin | Vintage Ceremonial Matcha** — tied to one origin and vintage. - **Early Harvest | Ceremonial Matcha** — from the season's earlier pick. - **Hisei | Ceremonial Grade Matcha** — the core ceremonial listing. ### Flavoured and culinary - **Sakura Matcha**, **Vanilla** and **Roasted Matcha** — flavoured options; the roasted profile sits closer to hojicha. - **Matcha Rose Latté** — a latte-oriented blend. - **Gastronomy Matcha 200 g** — bulk culinary matcha for baking and professional kitchens. ### Tools A premium bamboo whisk, ceramic whisk holder, bamboo whisk stand, traditional *[chashaku](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/chashaku)* spoon, *katakuchi* white ceramic bowl, electric milk frother, a premium gift box, on-the-go sample packs, and violet-glass refill storage aimed at protecting powder from light. ## Harvest location **Matcha Botanicals** states that its matcha comes from its own plantations in Japan and is dispatched from **Uji** approximately every two weeks. ### Uji Uji, in [Kyoto](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/kyoto) Prefecture, is the historic centre of Japanese matcha: the region where shaded *[tencha](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/tencha)* cultivation and stone-grinding were refined, and still the origin most associated with high-grade matcha. ### Okumidori The *Tenkan* lot names its cultivar — **Okumidori**, a late-harvesting variety valued for deep green colour and a smooth, sweet profile with restrained astringency. ### Why shipping cadence matters Matcha degrades with exposure to light, heat, air and time, losing colour and gaining a flat, hay-like character. A short, regular dispatch cycle from origin limits how long powder sits in storage before reaching the customer, which is why the brand presents its two-week cadence as a quality measure. Its violet-glass storage product addresses the same problem at the customer's end. ## Matcha Botanicals History **Matcha Botanicals** is registered as Matcha Botanicals GmbH in *Frauenfeld, Switzerland*, and is the contractual seller for orders placed through its online shop. It operates several regional storefronts — European domains redirect to its main site — and states that its matcha is stocked in cafés internationally. The brand does not publish a founding year or founder biography. ## Frequently asked questions Here are some frequently asked questions and answers. ### Does Matcha Botanicals grow its own matcha? The brand states that its ceremonial matcha comes from its own plantations in Japan and that it dispatches from its Uji plantation roughly every two weeks. That is a more vertical position than most matcha brands, which buy finished powder from third-party producers. The brand does not publish independent verification of the plantation ownership on its storefront. ### Where is Matcha Botanicals registered as a company? The contractual seller for orders placed through its online shop is Matcha Botanicals GmbH, registered in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. That is separate from where the tea is grown — the brand describes its plantations as being in Japan, with dispatch from Uji. Its regional domains, including the European ones, redirect to the main storefront. ### What is the difference between the imperial and ceremonial tiers? The imperial tier is the top of the range and sold as dated vintage lots — Komorebi Vintage Edition 2026 and Yumeno Vintage Imperial. Below that, the ceremonial tier covers Tenkan Okumidori (single cultivar), Single Origin Vintage, Early Harvest and Hisei. In general the imperial lots are intended for tasting on their own, while the ceremonial tier is more flexible across bowls and lattes. ### Why does Matcha Botanicals ship from Uji every two weeks? Matcha degrades with exposure to light, heat, air and time, losing its colour and developing a flat, hay-like character. A short, regular dispatch cycle from origin limits how long powder sits in storage before it reaches the customer. The brand presents the two-week cadence as a freshness measure, and sells violet-glass storage to address the same problem after delivery. ### What is Gastronomy Matcha for? Gastronomy Matcha is the brand's bulk culinary grade, sold in a 200 g format for baking, desserts and professional kitchen use. Culinary matcha is more robust and more astringent than ceremonial grade, which is what lets its flavour survive being combined with sugar, flour and dairy. It is not intended for drinking whisked on its own. ## Other brands like Matcha Botanicals As of August 2026, we have listed 126 brands on best-matcha.com. ### [KIMIKURA Tea](https://best-matcha.com/shop/kimikura) KIMIKURA Tea draws on a Kakegawa tea business founded in 1933, offering matcha from Kyoto and Kagoshima alongside deep-steamed Shizuoka tea.
