About us

Mãe Matcha was born out of the shared passion of two matcha-loving women from Amsterdam. After countless cups and adventures in search of the perfect matcha, we decided to create our own: a matcha that reflects our love for quality, community, and wellness. We source only the finest ceremonial-grade matcha from Uji, Japan, to bring a taste of tradition and health to your cup. Mãe Matcha isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience, crafted with love and meant to be shared.

Brand Name

Our Story

When we set out to create our matcha brand, we wanted a name that reflected the warmth, care, and nurturing spirit that inspired our journey. We found it in the word “Mãe” which means “mother” in Portuguese. Just like a mother’s love, matcha has been a comforting ritual in our lives—bringing us peace, energy, and connection. With Mãe Matcha, we aim to share that same feeling with our community. From our home in Amsterdam to yours, Mãe Matcha is crafted to inspire moments of comfort, joy, and wellness in every cup.

Premium Quality

More about our matcha

At Mãe Matcha, we pride ourselves on bringing you the highest-quality matcha sourced directly from the renowned Uji region in Japan, the birthplace of the world’s finest green tea. Our matcha is carefully shadow-picked, a traditional method that involves covering the tea plants before harvest to enhance their nutrient content and enrich their flavor profile. This process results in a vibrant, smooth, and umami-rich matcha that stands out in every cup.

Organic-certified, Mãe Matcha ensures that every sip is pure, clean, and free from synthetic pesticides or additives. Our commitment to quality and authenticity means you can enjoy the taste and health benefits of ceremonial-grade matcha while knowing it’s sustainably sourced and thoughtfully produced.
