Aloha Matcha

Matcha is more than a drink. It is a ritual of mindfulness that joins a calm mind with steady daily energy. Its roots reach back thousands of years.

Roots

The story of matcha

Matcha originates in China, where it flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties. Monks from Japan, studying Buddhism at the Jingshan temple, brought the tea ceremony back to their country. This gave rise to the Japanese way of tea, known as „chanoyu". In the 18th century matcha production was industrialised in Japan, and at the start of the 21st century matcha symbolically returned to China.

Our matcha comes from the Jingshan region in the Yuhang district, on the north-eastern slopes of the Tianmu mountains, an area considered the finest tea-growing zone. It was here that Lu Yu, called the „Sage of Tea", wrote his classic work on tea, and the Jingshan Tea Banquet tradition deeply influenced the Japanese ceremony. Through this heritage, Aloha Matcha draws from an authentic source.

Our story

抹茶

Mateusz Rosa

TCM therapist, founder of Aloha Fungi

We never planned to sell matcha. Our matcha journey began with the search for the finest functional mushroom extracts and travels across Asia.

While visiting our mushroom farms, a friend invited us to the most modern matcha factory in the world. We came to know its quality at the source, in a place where the tradition of tea has lasted for thousands of years. That is when we understood that matcha is not only a drink, but a whole ritual that fits in synergy with our values of caring for ourselves and reaching for the power of nature.

And so Aloha Matcha was born. Quite spontaneously, but they say there are no coincidences in life.
