Matcha Ninja
Matcha Ninja presentation
Matcha Ninja transformed the matcha landscape in 2014 with a simple mission: make drinking quality matcha easier for everyone. Founded after experiencing the life-changing benefits of switching from coffee to matcha, the brand emerged from Toronto farmer’s markets where word spread quickly about their exceptionally smooth ceremonial-grade tea.
Micro-Ground Excellence from Zhejiang
What sets Matcha Ninja apart is their proprietary micro-grind technology. Unlike traditional matcha that clumps in cold water, their extended grinding process creates an ultra-fine powder that dissolves instantly without sifting. The result? No floaters, no bitterness, no hassle.
Their organic ceremonial-grade matcha comes from high-altitude farms in Zhejiang, China’s premier green tea region. These shade-grown tencha leaves spend three weeks under cover before harvest, dramatically increasing chlorophyll and antioxidant content while reducing bitterness naturally.
Testing That Goes Beyond Organic
Triple certified organic isn’t where Matcha Ninja stops. Each batch undergoes rigorous independent lab testing for heavy metals including lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, and cadmium. They also test for pesticides and radiation, producing full Certificates of Analysis that most matcha brands skip entirely.
This matters because you ingest the entire leaf with matcha. One cup delivers the nutritional equivalent of ten cups of brewed green tea, which means any contaminants multiply exponentially. Matcha Ninja’s testing protocols ensure you get pure antioxidant-rich nutrition without compromise.
Designed for Real Life
The brand solved two critical problems plaguing the matcha market:
- Traditional ceremonial matcha takes too long to prepare with whisks and warm water
- Lower-quality matcha tastes bitter, forcing companies to add sugar that defeats health benefits
- Standard matcha oxidizes quickly in air-filled tins
Their flat-pack, ziplock-sealed pouches keep air away from the powder, preserving freshness from grinding to your cup. The redesigned seal closes easily despite matcha’s ultra-fine texture, solving a frustration every matcha drinker knows.
Superfood Performance
With an ORAC antioxidant value of 1,440—higher than goji berries, dark chocolate, pomegranate, and açai combined—Matcha Ninja delivers calm, focused energy without coffee jitters. The high L-Theanine content creates sustained clarity that lasts hours, not minutes.
From smoothie bars to home kitchens, Matcha Ninja proves that healthy food should taste exceptional and fit seamlessly into modern life.

Ceremonial-Grade Matcha Products
Matcha Ninja Ceremonial Grade Matcha represents the brand’s flagship offering, delivering 100% organic, ceremonial-grade matcha that undergoes rigorous third-party testing for heavy metals and pesticides. This premium matcha contains no added fillers, sugar, or artificial flavorings, ensuring complete purity in every serving.
Unique Processing Technology
The brand’s signature micro-grind process sets their matcha apart from traditional offerings. This innovative grinding technique allows the matcha to mix effortlessly without a whisk and without clumps in both hot and cold water, making preparation remarkably simple for consumers. The result is described as super clean, super easy, and ridiculously smooth.
Premium Tencha Leaf Foundation
Matcha Ninja exclusively uses tencha leaves (traditional shade-grown tea leaves) as the foundation for their matcha powder. These leaves undergo a crucial three-week shading process before harvest, which significantly increases chlorophyll content and creates the vibrant green color characteristic of high-quality matcha. This shading technique also enhances the umami flavor profile and boosts amino acid content, particularly L-theanine levels.
The careful cultivation and processing methods result in matcha with a distinctive mellow and fruity taste, differentiating it from more bitter or astringent varieties. The high L-theanine content contributes to the smooth, balanced flavor profile that makes this ceremonial-grade matcha suitable for traditional tea ceremonies and daily consumption alike.
History of Matcha Ninja
Matcha Ninja emerged in 2014 from a deeply personal quest for enhanced vitality and well-being. The brand’s founder, seeking a sustainable energy source and improved sleep patterns, discovered the transformative power of matcha (抹茶). This wasn’t merely a beverage switch—it represented a life-altering experience that would spark the creation of an innovative matcha brand focused on accessibility and quality.
The company’s journey began with sourcing from Yame, Japan, a region with centuries of tea-producing heritage. However, concerns about potential radiation contamination following the Fukushima disaster prompted a pivotal decision that would define the brand’s identity. Rather than compromise on safety or quality, Matcha Ninja made the bold choice to seek new sources while maintaining their commitment to excellence.
This search led to Zhejiang Province, China, the celebrated birthplace of Longjing (龙井) or Dragon Well green tea. The relocation wasn’t simply geographical—it represented a fusion of Eastern wisdom, combining Japanese technical expertise in cultivation and processing with generations of local Chinese green tea knowledge. The mountainous terrain of Zhejiang, with its mild climate, consistent rainfall, and natural fog cover, creates ideal conditions for tencha (碾茶) leaf cultivation.
Matcha Ninja’s production process emphasizes the careful three-week shading period before harvest, which boosts chlorophyll content and creates the vibrant green hue synonymous with high-quality matcha. This shading technique, combined with the region’s unique terroir, allows the leaves to retain higher levels of L-theanine, contributing to the distinctive mellow and fruity flavor profile that sets their product apart.
The brand’s innovation extends to their proprietary micro-grind process, which ensures effortless mixing in both hot and cold water without the need for traditional whisking. This technological advancement makes ceremonial-grade matcha accessible to modern consumers while maintaining the integrity of traditional cultivation methods. Every batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing for heavy metals and pesticides, ensuring 100% organic purity with no fillers, sugar, or artificial flavoring.

Frequent questions
Find below some answers to the most common questions about Matcha Ninja.
Why did Matcha Ninja switch from sourcing in Yame, Japan to Zhejiang, China?
Matcha Ninja made this transition in response to concerns about potential radiation contamination following the Fukushima disaster. The brand relocated from Yame, Japan to the mountainous Zhejiang Province in China, home of the famous Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea.
This move allowed them to combine Japanese technical expertise in cultivation and processing with generations of local Chinese green tea knowledge. The Zhejiang region’s unique climate—characterized by consistent rainfall, fog, and limited sunlight—creates ideal conditions for producing high-quality tencha leaves with elevated L-theanine levels.
What makes Matcha Ninja's micro-grind process different from traditional matcha preparation?
Matcha Ninja’s unique micro-grind process eliminates the need for a traditional bamboo whisk and prevents clumping in both hot and cold water.

How does Matcha Ninja's three-week shading process in Zhejiang Province affect the final product?
The three-week shading period before harvest is crucial for Matcha Ninja’s quality. Combined with Zhejiang Province’s mild, rainy, and foggy climate, this extended shading allows the tencha leaves to:
- Retain significantly higher levels of L-theanine
- Develop increased chlorophyll content for vibrant green color
- Create the distinctive mellow and fruity taste profile
- Enhance the umami flavor characteristics
The lack of direct sunlight in this mountainous region naturally complements their shading process, resulting in leaves with superior amino acid content.
