Drinking Matcha Ooika

Single, yet together.

Single origin. Single cultivar. Single Vintage. Yet part of a larger story. The ephemeral quality of changing seasons, and the craft of Japanese tea farmers.

Farmers, first.

Fresh Milling Statement: Similar to espresso grounds, Matcha odorants (flavor molecules) are lost, oils oxidize, and antioxidants break down immediately after grinding. Ooika only sells Matcha we mill ourselves in the USA with clear mill dates on the packaging. It’s more expensive, but experiencing Matcha without compromise is worth it.

Subscription: Expand your appreciation for Matcha. Every month a new, single-origin Matcha stone-milled and shipped to you within 24 hours.

Love for Matcha

  • Sweet Uji Matcha

    The matcha rabbit hole I went down to stumble on this gem of a product! By far the best matcha I’ve ever had. Love it both cold with oat milk & hot. It’s so smooth and I don’t have to add a single thing! It’s perfection!!

    “I am just starting out with the Matcha Mill Club but so far I am highly impressed. I greatly appreciate Ooika producing the Mo Cha (with Tea Drunk); it was such a unique and pure experience to prepare, learn about, and taste a historic tea!”
