■A New Context: Matcha × Wellness × Community

Chotto Matcha is a premium matcha brand using tea leaves cultivated in the Mt. Fuji region of Shizuoka, Japan. With deep respect for Japanese tea farmers and traditional production methods, the brand reimagines matcha for the modern lifestyle.

Matcha naturally contains caffeine and L-theanine, a combination known to support calm focus and sustained energy. This makes it highly compatible with movement, mindfulness, and post-workout recovery moments.

During the 2026 Valentine’s season, Chotto Matcha collaborated with a local running community to host a “Matcha Run” event. By pairing matcha with everyday physical activity, participants described it as:

・“A drink I naturally crave after running”

・“A different kind of comfort compared to coffee”

Building on these experiences, this UA COMMUNITY CLASS collaboration presents matcha as a refreshing and grounding beverage after fitness and journaling sessions — offering a new wellness ritual within an active community setting.

■ Looking Ahead

Chotto Matcha will continue to expand collaborations across sports, fitness, yoga, running, and mindfulness communities.

By positioning matcha not as an occasional indulgence but as an accessible daily habit, the brand aims to accompany active individuals in their everyday lives while carrying Japanese tea culture into the next generation.
