Our Story

Matcha Magic Born from Busy Mornings

Our love affair with matcha wasn’t sparked on a peaceful hike, but amidst the joyful chaos of early parenthood. Sleepless nights and endless to-do lists left us yearning for a natural solution to combat fatigue and sharpen our focus. We craved a cup of calm in the whirlwind.

That’s when we rediscovered matcha, a beverage we’d enjoyed years prior. This time, it wasn’t just delicious; it was a revelation. The sustained energy, minus the jitters, and the tranquil focus it provided were exactly what we needed. As parents juggling work, life, and little one, matcha became our daily ritual, a moment of peace in the midst of the beautiful mess.

Fuelled by this newfound passion and the desire to share it with others, Hanami Matcha was born. The name reflects the Japanese tradition of “Hanami,” appreciating the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms in bloom. Just like these delicate flowers, parenthood is a precious, ever-changing journey. Hanami Matcha offers a moment of pause, a chance to savour the present and embrace a mindful approach to daily life, no matter your stage.

Whether you’re a parent seeking a natural energy boost, a creative mind searching for focus, or simply someone longing for a moment of tranquility, we believe Hanami Matcha has something to offer.

We invite you to join us on this journey to explore the world of matcha and discover its potential to elevate your well-being.

Tea harvest is a labor of dedication.

The journey to exceptional matcha begins with the skilled hands of harvesters, selecting only the finest tea leaves. To lock in their peak freshness and flavor, these hand-picked treasures are rushed to the processing plant without delay. This unwavering commitment to speed and careful handling is paramount in creating our premium matcha.

Hanami Matcha is Stone Milled

Stone-milling is increasingly rare in matcha production, but all Hanami Matcha is still crafted using this traditional method rather than jet-milling.

This stone-milling process adds a depth and richness to the tea that other grinding techniques simply cannot achieve.

We are committed to supporting traditional matcha production methods to ensure that this heritage is preserved despite the growing demands of the mass market.
