Traceability
Traceability — From Field to Cup
d:matcha is the first matcha brand to offer full traceability from farm to table. By scanning the QR code on every bag, you can see when and where the tea was harvested, milled, processed, and packed — and how your purchase helps protect our heritage land and community.
100% Kyoto-grown tea leaves
Processed in Kyoto (our own factories)
Lot-by-lot disclosure
Our Facilities
Tea Farms (Yubune, Wazuka)
Most of our fields are in Yubune, Wazuka, Kyoto, with our headquarters at the center of the village.
Sencha Factory (JAS 2025)
In 2023 we inherited a 60 kg-line sencha factory (approx. 40 years old) from an elderly couple in Yubune. Our sencha, gyokuro, and hojicha are processed here. JAS Organic certified in 2025.
Tencha Factory (JAS 2025)
In 2025 we refurbished a disused lumber warehouse in Yubune into a tencha factory equipped with one Horii-style brick furnace and a modern metal detector. Our matcha’s tencha processing (and part of finishing) is conducted here. JAS Organic certified in 2025.
Main Factory (Established 2022)
Matcha is stone-milled from tencha and packed by hand at our headquarter factory. JAS Organic certified in 2025.
Partners
We collaborate with Nakai Seicha-jou (Wazuka) and Kyoto wholesalers for sencha re-processing, tea-bag packaging, pulverization, and more — always disclosed per lot as needed.
