Our story
Matcha,
Matcha,
Refined.
We started Refined Matcha with one purpose: to bring the real thing to Europe. Ceremonial-grade, single-origin, sourced from the volcanic soils of Kagoshima. Matcha as it was always meant to be.

Our mission
"Redefining what matcha can be, for everyone in Europe."
For too long, the European matcha market has been flooded with compromised products: diluted, poorly sourced, and stripped of what makes matcha worth drinking. We built Refined Matcha to change that.
Every tin we sell is a commitment: first-flush tencha leaves, traditionally stone-milled, grown in the volcanic soils of southern Japan. No shortcuts. No substitutes.
Our vision
To become Europe's most trusted matcha brand.
Not the loudest. Not the most marketed. The most trusted.
We want every person who tries Refined Matcha to know exactly what they are getting: the best matcha we can source, packaged with care, and backed by a team that genuinely believes in what they sell.
01
Sourced in
Kagoshima
Kagoshima
Grown in volcanic soil. Harvested at peak flavor.
Kagoshima sits at the southern tip of Japan, on some of the most mineral-rich land in the world. The volcanic soil, active for centuries, gives the tea leaves a depth of flavor that cannot be replicated elsewhere. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Our matcha is made exclusively from first-flush tencha: the youngest, most tender leaves, harvested once a year when their umami concentration peaks. It is why every cup carries that characteristic smoothness, natural sweetness, and zero bitterness.
We source directly from established farmers who have refined their craft across generations, ensuring that what reaches you is exactly what we found at origin.
02
A Higher Standard
Quality is our starting point, not our selling point.
Quality shouldn't be a feature to advertise. It should be the baseline. Every decision we make, from farm selection to packaging, is built around that principle.
Our matcha is stone-milled in small batches and never blended with lower-grade leaves. We don't cut costs where it matters. We don't compromise where it counts.
From Japan to your cup
Every detail, considered at source.
The journey from Kagoshima to your kitchen involves more care than most people realise. We oversee every step: from harvest timing and stone-milling speed to oxygen-sealed packaging.
Nothing about that process is automated or rushed. It is why the matcha you receive is as close to the source as possible.

Our philosophy
01
Quality Without Compromise
Every product we release meets one standard: the best we can source. Not the most affordable version. Not a compromise between quality and margin. The real thing, always.
02
Transparency
We share where our matcha comes from, how it is processed, and what makes it different. No vague origin claims. No marketing language without substance. You should know exactly what you are buying.
03
Craftsmanship
Stone-milling is a slow, careful process. Our farmers spend years perfecting their technique. We respect that craft by never rushing what takes time, and never substituting what takes skill.
04
Refinement
Refinement is not just in the name. It is in every detail: the way the tin opens, the way the powder feels, the way a cup comes together. We pay attention to the parts most people overlook.
Welcome to
Refined Matcha.
From a volcanic hillside in Kagoshima to your cup. This is the matcha you have been looking for. We are glad you found us.
Every tin carries the same promise: the best we can source, treated with the care it deserves, delivered to you without compromise.
