Julia, Nina & Rei
Julia and Nina have been friends since childhood. Julia spent over a decade developing a serious matcha habit (and palate) in Germany. Nina spent fifteen years in New York — the kind of city where good matcha is on every other corner. When she moved back, she couldn't find one she loved.
So they made it themselves.
In 2023, Rei joined the team, bringing a deep expertise in Japanese tea and a steady hand on every detail. Three of us, one obsession — and close, personal relationships with the Japanese tea farmers and producers we work with directly.
Straight from Japan
We work directly with tea farmers in Japan's most respected matcha regions — Uji, Yame, and beyond. No middlemen, no anonymous suppliers. Just long-term relationships with people who've been doing this for generations.
That's why we can promise what's actually in the tin: ceremonial-grade matcha, freshly milled, with the flavor, color, and depth you'd expect from the very top of the harvest.
Three things we care about
Quality, no compromises
Only ceremonial-grade matcha, sourced directly from trusted Japanese farmers and lab-tested. If we wouldn't drink it ourselves, we don't sell it.
Joy in every cup
Matcha is our superpower — and a daily ritual that should make you smile. We blend tradition with a pop-culture attitude, and take taste more seriously than ourselves.
Real relationships
With our farmers in Japan, our team in Berlin, and the people who drink Matchasome every day. Everything we do is built on personal, long-term connection.
