At the heart of Chotto Matcha is a quiet respect—
for the people, the land, the time, and the tradition
behind every tea leaf.
Our matcha comes from family-run farms in Shizuoka, Japan.
It is grown with care, shaped by generations of knowledge and craft.
Each leaf is handled with intention, resulting in a matcha that is clean in aroma, deep in flavor, and full of character.
But Chotto Matcha is not only about the tea.
It is about the story in every cup.
The people who grow it with patience and precision.
A culture that values balance, respect, and quality.
And the small, quiet moments of joy it creates.
When you drink matcha,
you are not just tasting it—
you are becoming part of something.
Two Japanese Sisters, Bridging Matcha Across Borders
A Reverse Import Story — Built Abroad, Returned to Japan
We left Japan at 13 and started our first business overseas—with no experience, just curiosity and persistence.
What drove us was simple:
to share the stories of tea farmers with the world.
During a visit back to Japan, we saw a different reality.
Tea demand was declining. Farmers were aging. Many had no one to continue their work. We didn’t want to just sell matcha.
We wanted to create something that could support the people behind it.
So we started small—a matcha café with only a few seats.
A space to connect people with the story behind each cup.
Today, that idea has grown into five locations—
still rooted in the same purpose.
