Who is Matchaeologist?

Matchaeologist is a matcha brand sourcing exclusively from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, offering a curated range of ceremonial and culinary grades. Its matcha is grown using the traditional Honzu method, a 30-day shading process with rice-straw mats before harvest.

The collection includes cultivars Misaki, Matsu, and Meiko for drinking, and Midori and Mirai for culinary use, all processed from first-flush tencha ground slowly on granite stone mills.
