Matchavia a day keeps the chaos away

Matchavia is a modern Korean matcha designed for daily drinking. A delicate taste, calm energy, and a small ritual during the day.

It is also suitable for those new to matcha, and due to its intensity, only about 2g per serving is needed, so one package lasts longer. You can enjoy matcha every day – in the morning, at work, or as a matcha latte. It comes from Jeju Island in South Korea, which is known for its clean environment and ideal conditions for growing matcha.

This region is known for its mineral-rich volcanic soil, clean air, and mild oceanic climate. All of these factors create excellent conditions for growing matcha. Each and every leaf is hand-picked and processed with an emphasis on quality and a delicate, balanced flavor.

FAQ

South Korea has a long tradition of tea cultivation, and Jeju Island offers stable climatic conditions and mineral-rich volcanic soil.

These factors promote uniform leaf growth and a balanced, delicate flavor profile of matcha.

Korean matcha thus represents a modern alternative to traditional regions – clean, calmer, more modern, and naturally balanced.

The difference between Signature Matcha and Ceremonial Matcha lies mainly in their flavour profile and the preparation methods they are best suited for.

Ceremonial Matcha is the finest and most balanced matcha. It has a rich green colour, a delicate flavour, and a prominent umami. It is ideal for traditional preparation with water (usucha or koicha) when you want to fully experience the pure taste of matcha complemented by milk.

Signature Matcha has a slightly fuller body and a more pronounced character. You might detect subtle nutty notes in its flavour, reminiscent of roasted soybeans. It is very versatile and works well in matcha lattes, smoothies, or desserts, where its flavour won't get lost.

Both matchas are made from the first spring harvest (first flush) leaves, which are shade-grown for 15 days, then gently steamed and stone-ground – the difference is therefore mainly in their flavour profile and use.

Yes. Our matcha comes from a farm on Jeju Island in South Korea that grows tea according to organic farming principles. The product is certified organic.

We recommend storing matcha in a dry and dark place, ideally well-sealed, as oxidation strongly affects matcha. This can cause a change in color from strong green to brownish green, as well as a change in taste.

After opening, it is advisable to consume it within a few weeks to maintain optimal taste and color.

No. Matchavia is 100% pure matcha powder with no added sugar, flavourings or colourings.

PREPARATION

How to prepare Matchavia

For the basic preparation, you will need:

2 g of Matchavia (approx. ½ – 1 teaspoon)
water with a temperature of 70–80 °C (not boiling)
approx. 70 ml of water
approx. 220 ml of frothed milk

We recommend adhering to approximately 2 g of matcha per serving. Matchavia has a more pronounced taste, so a larger quantity is not necessary, and the matcha could become unnecessarily strong. This way, one package will last for more cups and is ideal for daily consumption.

Pour the matcha through a sieve into a bowl to avoid lumps, then add water. Whisk it into a fine foamy consistency using a bamboo whisk.

You can then pour the prepared matcha into frothed milk to make a matcha latte.

I have always enjoyed finding things that are a little different and exceptional. When I noticed that there was often a problem with the availability of quality matcha on the market, I started looking for an alternative outside of Japan.

After 4 months of searching and testing samples from various farms in South Korea, I found a matcha that matched what I was looking for in terms of taste, quality, and philosophy. That's how Matchavia was born.

Matchavia is about a small daily ritual. About energy without chaos. About a moment for yourself amidst the daily rush.
