Matcha produced by Matchaeologist
Matchaeologist offers a carefully curated collection of matcha grades, each designed to deliver a distinct sensory experience that transcends ordinary tea consumption. Their product line spans both ceremonial and culinary applications, sourced exclusively from Uji, Kyoto.
Ceremonial Grade Collection
Misaki™ Ceremonial Matcha presents a vibrant jade-green appearance with an aroma combining sweet grass and roasted nuts. This premium grade delivers umami (savory richness) balanced with subtle sweetness, creating a buttery smoothness that lingers on the palate. The low bitterness makes it ideal for traditional koicha (thick tea) and usucha (thin tea) preparations.
Matsu™ Ceremonial Matcha displays a deep emerald green color with complex aromatics reminiscent of dark chocolate and toasted almonds. This bold grade offers an espresso-like intensity with a creamy body and mellow, roasted finish. Its slight bitterness complements traditional matcha preparation and cold brew applications.
Meiko™ Ceremonial Matcha features an emerald-green hue releasing floral notes intertwined with earthy vegetal aromas. This robust matcha delivers a balanced sweet-savory profile with moderate bitterness and a slightly astringent yet refreshing finish. It excels in lattes and cocktail applications while maintaining ceremonial quality.
Culinary Grade Selection
Midori™ Culinary Matcha showcases a verdant green color with pure earthy aromatics. This culinary workhorse provides bold matcha flavor with grassy, slightly bitter notes that cut through sweetness effectively. Its robust, well-rounded character makes it perfect for ice cream, chocolate, and baking applications.
Mirai™ Culinary Matcha presents a bright green appearance with earthy undertones and high bitterness levels. This culinary adventurer offers vibrant, earthy flavors with a slightly astringent finish, encouraging experimentation in diverse culinary creations.

History of Matchaeologist
Matchaeologist represents a modern renaissance in the ancient world of matcha, emerging around 2015-2017 during the explosive growth of matcha’s global popularity. Unlike traditional matcha houses with centuries of history, this brand carved out a unique position by reimagining how ceremonial-grade matcha could fit into contemporary life.
Vision and Mission
The founders weren’t content to simply sell matcha powder. Instead, they aimed to redefine the entire matcha experience, drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese tea ceremony while making it accessible for everyday enjoyment. Their revolutionary approach centered on curating a lifestyle around the #MatchaRitual, transforming what was once reserved for special occasions into a daily mindful practice.
Sourcing Excellence from Uji
From the beginning, Matchaeologist committed to sourcing exclusively from Uji, Kyoto – the official birthplace of Japanese tea ceremony and recognized leader in matcha quality. This region’s unique agro-climatic conditions, including specific soil composition, climate, altitude, humidity, and rainfall patterns, create an irreplaceable terroir that defines exceptional matcha.
Traditional Methods, Modern Approach
The brand distinguishes itself through meticulous attention to traditional processing methods. Their matcha undergoes the labor-intensive ‘Honzu’ shading technique, where tea plants are covered with rice straw mats for 30 days before the early May harvest. This traditional method reduces sunlight exposure by up to 90%, forcing plants to produce higher levels of theanine (amino acid) and chlorophyll, resulting in matcha’s characteristic mellow flavor and vibrant color.
Product Innovation
Matchaeologist developed five distinct matcha grades, each designed to evoke specific sensory experiences: Misaki™, Matsu™, and Meiko™ for ceremonial use, plus Midori™ and Mirai™ for culinary applications. This systematic approach to product development reflects their commitment to making high-quality matcha accessible to diverse consumer preferences and uses.
