OGJ Matcha
OGJ Matcha presentation
OGJ Matcha brings authentic Japanese matcha directly from source to your cup, eliminating intermediaries to deliver premium quality at accessible prices. Sourcing organic ceremonial grade tea exclusively from the historic regions of Uji in Kyoto and Kagoshima, this brand connects matcha enthusiasts worldwide with centuries-old Japanese tea cultivation traditions.
Rooted in Japan’s Premier Tea Regions
The brand’s commitment begins in the tea fields. Uji, Kyoto has been synonymous with premium matcha since the 1300s, where unique terroir—rich volcanic soil, morning mists, and ideal temperatures—creates exceptional flavor profiles. Meanwhile, Kagoshima represents innovation in organic cultivation, producing sweeter matcha through diverse cultivar varieties like Okumidori and Yabukita that thrive in its subtropical climate.
OGJ Matcha carefully selects tea from farms that practice traditional shading methods, covering plants for up to one month before harvest. This process increases chlorophyll and L-theanine levels, resulting in that signature vibrant green color and umami-rich flavor without excessive bitterness.
Stone-Ground Excellence Meets Organic Standards
Every product carries Organic JAS Certification, ensuring cultivation without synthetic pesticides or chemicals. The brand offers multiple grades—from approachable Latte Matcha to premium Ceremonial varieties—each stone-ground to preserve delicate flavor compounds and nutritional benefits.
Their product line includes unique blends like Ceremonial2 Matcha, which combines Okumidori’s bold flavor with Yabukita’s clean finish, creating a balanced cup that leaves no lingering aftertaste. This thoughtful blending addresses a common complaint among those new to matcha.
Direct Sourcing, Global Reach
OGJ Matcha operates with transparency, maintaining direct relationships with tea producers and offering bulk supply options for businesses. Their mission centers on sharing the genuine taste of Japanese matcha—dispelling the myth that quality matcha must be bitter.
Whether you’re whisking your first bowl of thin tea or running a café that serves hundreds of matcha lattes daily, OGJ Matcha provides reliable access to authentic Japanese tea. The brand proves that premium matcha doesn’t require premium prices when you source directly from origin, making the health benefits and rich tradition of ceremonial grade matcha accessible to everyone.

History of OGJ Matcha
OGJ Matcha emerged from a profound moment of cultural awakening during the founder’s business trip to New York, when the global matcha boom was taking hold. Witnessing the widespread distribution of low-grade, bitter matcha that misrepresented Japan’s centuries-old tea tradition sparked a mission to share the true taste of authentic Japanese matcha (抹茶) with the world.
The brand’s philosophy centers on a fundamental truth that high-quality matcha has no bitterness. This principle drives their careful sourcing from Japan’s most revered tea regions, including the historic Uji, Kyoto – the birthplace of Japanese tea culture since the 13th century when Zen monk Eisai first brought tea seeds from China.
OGJ Matcha’s product line showcases the diversity of Japanese matcha terroir, featuring organic ceremonial grade teas from both Uji, Kyoto and Kagoshima. Each grade reflects the traditional Japanese understanding of ichibancha (first harvest), where timing and region create distinct flavor profiles – from Uji’s complex umami notes to Kagoshima’s natural sweetness.
The brand’s commitment extends beyond commerce to cultural education, teaching proper preparation methods through detailed guides that honor traditional techniques using chasen (bamboo whisk) and chashaku (bamboo scoop). Their mission statement reflects this deeper purpose: bringing not just taste, but the health benefits and Japanese hospitality inherent in authentic matcha culture to a global audience.
