About Us - Matcha Yu Tea

Hi, I’m Erin 👋 founder of Matcha Yu Tea and self confessed Japanophile (lover of all things Japanese!)

My love for Matcha began back when I was living in Kyoto, Japan in 2010 when i was introduced to it's calming energy and smooth taste.

I felt so much better drinking Matcha over coffee. It provided me with a steady clean energy that didn't come with any headaches, crash or jitters.

As I learned more about Matcha's key place in the tea culture of Japan, I was hooked!

Upon returning to Australia I found it challenging to find high quality Matcha just like I had tried in Japan.

That's why I decided to source and import myself, bringing the "Taste of Japan in a Cup" to Australia.

Why Drink Matcha?

Matcha gives you a clean and smooth energy boost that sustains you far longer than coffee can.

This is thanks to its caffeine and L-theanine (amino acid) properties that work hand in hand to create a calm zen energy.

Matcha is antioxidant rich, containing a concentrated dose at least 3 times more than a regular cup of green tea.

Tried 4 other hojicha brands and can honestly say this is the best one for me

Tried 4 other hojicha brands and can honestly say this is the best one for me. I like that it tastes a little chocolatey. It’s not the smoothest unless you sieve it first but I actually enjoy this lightly sandy texture better with my hojicha latte!

Amazing set for starting out with matcha. The matcha itself is delicious too

Everyday Matcha Traditional Set
Worth it!

This is the best matcha I have ever tasted. I am spoiled, and will never be able to go back to cheaper grades. The difference in taste, aroma and colour is astounding. Whisks up to a robust and substantial foam. Incredible alone for a purist experience or with a little plant milk as shown.

AMAZING PREMIUM MATCHA

Exceptional color and aroma, umami notes that disappear into a smooth and super creamy finish.
One of the best I tried so far.
Love drinking it as usucha (thin matcha) and most important knowing that it is organic without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers as we drink the whole tea leaf in powdered form.

I love my new glass tumbler it’s the perfect size for my daily matcha late

I love my new glass tumbler it’s the perfect size for my daily matcha late. Being able to see the matcha late through the glass and to be able to drink through the metal straw make my matcha experience even more enjoyable, I also love the wooden lid.

FAQ

Matcha is green tea leaves that have been ground down into a fine powder. In the week's prior to tea harvest, shade covering is applied over the tea plants to block sunlight. Chlorophyll and antioxidant content increases. Once ready for picking, the tea leaves are quickly steamed and air dried to reduce oxidising and remove moisture then finally ground down into a fine powder

It's not that tricky! The key tip is to use something that will effectively suspend/dissolve the Matcha powder in water. To prepare it:

  1. Add ½–1 teaspoon of Matcha to a bowl or cup.
  2. Pour in around 30ml of hot water (around 70–80°C).
  3. Whisk briskly in a zig-zag (M or W shape) until frothy and smooth using a bamboo or electric whisk.
  4. Top up with more hot water or your favourite milk (we recommend around 100ml)

Yes! Unlike regular green tea, where you steep and discard the leaves, matcha is made from the whole ground leaf. This means you get up to 10x more antioxidants, including catechins like EGCG, making it a supercharged, nutrient-rich drink. 🌱
