The flavor of matcha is determined not only by the quality of the ingredients but also by its freshness. Since matcha gradually changes in quality once ground, the fresher it is from the time of manufacture, the less extraneous taste there is, and the more enjoyable it is to drink.

We grind each order individually upon receipt, typically ship out in about two business days, and deliver fresh matcha to customers worldwide by air. When the product arrives at your doorstep, it is only a few days since grinding. Please enjoy our exceptionally fresh matcha that even consumers in Japan may have yet to experience.

Matcha Direct is operated by TSUJI RIICHI HONTEN Co., LTD., a tea company in Kyoto with a history of over 160 years. We deliver freshly ground, high-quality matcha directly to customers worldwide. By doing this without intermediaries distributing our products in different countries, we can provide the same quality at a more attractive price.

The shelf life is six months from the date of manufacture.
The product will arrive at your doorstep 2 to 3 days after manufacturing.
