Matchæologist® (抹茶オロジスト) is an artisanal Japanese matcha green tea specialist focusing on premium-quality matcha and contemporary matcha-ware products. What sets their matcha apart is the artisanal technique with which each batch of tea is processed – a technique that includes hand-picking only the virgin leaves from the first flush of select shade-grown tea trees and a proprietary ‘artisan roasting’ procedure undertaken to ensure that every gram is bursting with its full flavour potential. Though more challenging and time-consuming, this technique offers unparalleled results, drawing out matcha’s characteristic sweet 'umami' flavour profile in a way that industrially processed matcha simply cannot equal. Matchaeologist is honoured to be the matcha supplier of choice for a growing number of the world’s leading tea sommeliers, baristas, chefs, pâtissiers, chocolatiers, and F&B artisans. They also offer unparalleled support, including onboarding training, matcha master classes, workshops, and tasting events.
