About d:matcha Kyoto
Our Company
A farm-to-cup Japanese tea company founded in 2016 in Wazuka, Kyoto. We cultivate, process, and craft tea & matcha with full traceability, offering tours, education, and direct-to-customer experiences.
Our journey began as apprentices learning from masters who had dedicated their lives to the art of cultivating and crafting Japanese green tea. Through this experience, we built deep connections with artisans across every stage of tea production — from cultivation to refinement.
In 2017, d:matcha began cultivating its own tea fields in Wazuka, Kyoto. By January 2020, our farms had expanded to roughly 3 hectares of lush tea fields. Nowadays, we have around 4 hectares of tea fields!
The terrain of Wazuka provides the perfect conditions for premium tea. Gentle fog naturally shades the tea bushes, softening sunlight and nurturing delicate, flavorful leaves. Thanks to its unique landscape, Wazuka is now celebrated across Japan for producing exceptional green tea.
By growing and producing our own tea, we’re able to harvest only the finest organic leaves. We continuously refine our teas based on customer feedback — creating new blends and improving existing varieties. All our production follows strict Japanese agricultural standards, ensuring both quality and safety.
This dedication to craftsmanship and authenticity lies at the heart of d:matcha. We hope you can taste our passion in every cup.
