Who is Matcha Matcha EU?

Matcha Matcha is a Paris-based brand selling a single organic ceremonial matcha from Kagoshima, alongside the two tools needed to prepare it. Its storefront at matcha-matcha.eu is the English-language European face of the French shop matchamatcha.fr.

Its distinguishing feature is radical range simplicity combined with organic certification that can be checked against independent public records.

Matcha Matcha EU in details

Matcha Matcha is a French direct-to-consumer brand operated from Paris by SKEYL SAS, and it does something almost no other matcha seller does: it sells exactly one tea. A single 50 g organic ceremonial matcha, sourced from a producer in Kagoshima, with a bamboo whisk and scoop alongside it.

Where competitors compete on breadth, its argument is deliberate simplicity backed by paperwork: its organic status is independently listed in both the French Agence Bio register and its certifier’s public portal.

About the Matcha Matcha EU Matcha

Matcha Matcha runs one of the shortest catalogues in this directory — three items in total.

The range

  • Organic Ceremonial Matcha — a single 50 g tea, sourced from a producer in Kagoshima. There is no second grade, no culinary tier and no flavoured line.
  • Bamboo Matcha Whisk (Chasen) — the traditional whisk.
  • Bamboo Matcha Scoop (Chashaku) — the traditional measuring scoop.

The trade-off is straightforward. You give up the ability to compare grades, cultivars or harvests within the brand; in exchange the choice is made for you and there is nothing to decode. For a first tin, that is a reasonable proposition; for someone wanting to taste across cultivars, it is not the right shop.

The brand names its region but not the farm, the cultivar or the harvest.

Harvest location

Matcha Matcha sources from a producer in Kagoshima, at the southern end of Kyushu.

Kagoshima

Kagoshima is Japan's second-largest tea-producing region. Its warm climate and volcanic soils bring an earlier harvest than Kyoto or Shizuoka, and its matcha typically shows a vivid colour with a fresh, vegetal character and pronounced sweetness. It is also the centre of large-scale organic Japanese tea cultivation, which fits a brand built on a certified-organic single SKU.

Certification that can be checked

The organic claim is unusually verifiable. The operating company is listed in the French Agence Bio public register under operator number 300430, and in the certifier Certipaq Bio's own portal under operator 61776, with control body code FR-BIO-09. Two independent records, rather than a logo on a tin.

The farm, the cultivar and the harvest are not named.

Matcha Matcha EU History

Matcha Matcha is operated by SKEYL SAS, registered in France on 12 October 2023 (SIREN 980662985), with its registered office at 6 rue d'Armaillé in the 17th arrondissement of Paris and a second declared activity site at Mâcon. The founder, Alex, describes discovering matcha in the Uji region before building the brand around a Kagoshima producer.

An important clarification for this directory: despite the shared name, this business has no connection to Matcha Matcha UK. They are separate companies on separate Shopify tenants; the similarity is coincidence, and the UK storefront now appears defunct.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some frequently asked questions and answers.

Is Matcha Matcha EU related to Matcha Matcha UK?

No. They are entirely separate companies that happen to share a generic name. This one is operated by SKEYL SAS from Paris and sells at matcha-matcha.eu (the English-language face of matchamatcha.fr); Matcha Matcha UK was a separate business at matchamatchauk.com, whose storefront now appears defunct. Do not treat them as sibling storefronts of one brand.

Why does Matcha Matcha sell only one tea?

It is a deliberate positioning choice. The catalogue is one 50 g organic ceremonial matcha plus a chasen whisk and a chashaku scoop — nothing else. You give up the ability to compare grades or cultivars within the brand, and in exchange there is nothing to decode. It suits a first tin more than a tasting comparison.

Can Matcha Matcha's organic certification be verified?

Yes, and that is unusual. The operating company SKEYL SAS appears in the French Agence Bio public register under operator number 300430, and in certifier Certipaq Bio's own portal under operator 61776 with control body code FR-BIO-09. Two independent public records confirm it, rather than a self-applied label.

Where does the matcha come from?

A producer in Kagoshima, at the southern end of Kyushu — Japan's second-largest tea-producing region, known for volcanic soils, an earlier harvest and a fresh, sweet, vividly coloured matcha. The brand names the region but not the farm, the cultivar or the harvest. Note that the founder's story mentions Uji, but that refers to where he first tasted matcha, not where this tea is grown.
