about us
What is MATCHA DIRECT?
It is said that the quality of matcha begins to change the moment it is ground. To address this issue head-on, and with the desire to deliver freshly ground, authentic matcha to matcha fans around the world, MATCHA DIRECT was born as a global brand of "Tsujiri".
In the US and Europe, where matcha has traditionally taken a long time to distribute, the method of delivering directly from Tsujiriichi Honten's factory in Kyoto to local stores by airmail has become popular and has been adopted by many cafe owners. In response to requests for a similar service to be offered domestically, we have now launched this service for Japanese businesses.
Stone-ground upon receiving an order
Our stone mills can only grind 40g per hour, and we carefully grind each customer's order.
As a general rule, production and shipping will be completed within 3 business days after receiving your order.
We clearly state the date of production and guarantee that fresh matcha is delivered to our customers. If you are in Japan, we will arrange for it to arrive the day after or the day after the production date. Therefore, when it arrives to you, the matcha is an exceptionally fresh product that was just ground the day before or the day before.
Freshly ground matcha is rich in flavor, but without any harsh or unpleasant taste, and has a clean, pleasant flavor.
All products are 100% first-grade tea
MATCHA DIRECT's matcha is 100% first-grade tea. We stock the highest-grade first-grade tea with a content of over 2.0% L-theanine, the component that gives matcha its umami flavor. Our overwhelming quality, carefully selected by Tsujiri's tea masters without compromise, will help differentiate your store.
Furthermore, we offer a rich and varied lineup, including not only organic matcha, but also single-origin matcha and decaffeinated matcha, which are not commonly available, to meet the various needs of matcha specialty store and cafe owners.
*Tsujiriichi Honten Co., Ltd. manufactures the products and ships them directly to customers from the factory. Sales are handled by our partner, Kataoka Bussan Co., Ltd.

customer's voice
I've tried many different matchas at many cafes in Los Angeles, but nothing compares to the matcha at MATCHA DIRECT. I'm really proud to be able to offer it at my cafe!
I was impressed with MATCHA DIRECT's ordering system that focuses on freshness and fast delivery. MATCHA DIRECT's matcha really stands out with its fresh taste and little bitterness.
