A message from the founders

Maison Matcha began with us, Cassandra and Mark, two matcha lovers driven to share our passion for authentic, high-quality matcha. What started as a love for its taste and benefits grew into a desire to make matcha feel modern, elevated, and effortlessly part of everyday life. We wanted something that looked as good as it tasted, and matched every mood. That’s why we created blends that are both flavourful and functional, always with quality at the heart of everything we do.

How it all started...

When matcha started gaining popularity worldwide, Cassandra became curious. Having always been drawn to Japanese culture (and falling in love with Tokyo during her 2017 trip), she started exploring matcha as a healthier alternative to coffee. What began as curiosity quickly turned into a daily ritual — our mornings now often smell like matcha, and we wouldn’t start the day without it.

From coffee to matcha

Mark, who used to be a coffee-only guy, quickly fell for matcha too. Between his hospitality background and our shared love for good food and flavour, we began tasting and comparing countless matcha blends. What we found was surprising: most of the matcha sold locally was dull, bitter, and far from the vibrant, smooth experience we knew it could be.

The birth of Maison Matcha

So we decided to create Maison Matcha, sourcing only the highest-quality Japanese matcha, making it fun, accessible, and flavourful, without ever hiding its natural quality, and crafting blends for every mood, from delicate and creamy to bold and energising. After tasting matcha from many producers, we finally found farmers in Japan who share our passion for craft. We then developed recipes that balance premium matcha with delicate hints of flavour. And yes, sometimes we argue over who whisks it better.
