Matcha produced by Mikkusu Tea
Mikkusu Tea offers a carefully curated selection of artisan matcha blends, each formulated to deliver specific functional benefits through natural ingredients. Founded in 2016, this Pittsburgh-based company has developed three signature blends designed for enhanced performance.
Signature Matcha Blends
The company’s product line features three distinct matcha formulations: Charge, Focus, and Revive. Each blend is crafted to provide targeted functional advantages, utilizing the natural properties of high-quality matcha combined with complementary ingredients.
Matcha Quality Standards
Mikkusu Tea emphasizes the superior nature of its matcha, which begins with Camellia sinensis (tea plant) cultivated under traditional shading methods. The matcha undergoes a critical 20-30 day shading process that amplifies chlorophyll and nutrient density, resulting in the vibrant green color and rich flavor profile characteristic of premium matcha.
The company’s commitment to quality aligns with traditional Japanese standards, particularly focusing on ichibancha (first harvest) matcha, which is prized for its delicate sweetness, smooth texture, and intense umami. This first harvest yields a powder of striking green hue, representing the highest grade of ceremonial matcha that requires no additional sweeteners or milk.

History of Mikkusu Tea
Mikkusu Tea emerged in 2016 as a distinctive voice in the American matcha landscape, establishing its roots in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. The company positioned itself uniquely by creating artisan matcha blends designed for specific functional benefits, moving beyond traditional ceremonial preparations to offer performance-focused alternatives.
The brand’s innovative approach centers on three signature blends: Charge Matcha (enhanced with yerba mate and guarana for energy), Focus Matcha (incorporating ashwagandha and ginkgo for cognitive support), and Revive Matcha (featuring mushrooms and maca for recovery). This functional approach distinguished Mikkusu from traditional matcha retailers by addressing specific wellness needs.
Located at 3511 Butler Street, Mikkusu operates both as an online retailer and a physical tea house, creating a community hub for matcha enthusiasts. The company’s commitment to quality is reflected in their sourcing practices, working with suppliers who follow traditional Japanese cultivation methods including the critical shading process that amplifies chlorophyll and nutrient density in the tea leaves.
Mikkusu’s product line expanded beyond functional blends to include traditional offerings like Summit Matcha (ceremonial grade) and Ascend Matcha (premium grade), alongside low-caffeine alternatives such as Celestial Cacao and Sunshine Turmeric. The brand also embraces seasonal innovation, introducing limited editions like Harvest Chai Matcha to maintain customer engagement.
The company’s philosophy emphasizes the cultural heritage of matcha while adapting it for modern American consumers seeking both traditional quality and functional benefits. Their tagline Energy • Vitality • Cognition” encapsulates this dual approach, honoring matcha’s umami-rich tradition while addressing contemporary wellness priorities.
