THE MATCHA ŌKAWA began with a mission to introduce the authentic, mindful art of Japanese matcha to the Middle East. Our matcha is exclusively sourced from the pristine tea fields of Shizuoka, Japan, where the ancient craft of tea-making continues. Each sip offers a journey through Japan’s lush landscapes, bringing tranquility, culture, and craftsmanship to every cup.
The name “ŌKAWA,” meaning “big river” in Japanese, reflects the flow and continuity of tradition, purity, and depth that matcha embodies. Just as a river flows steadily, connecting lands and people, THE MATCHA ŌKAWA brings the timeless art of matcha to a new region, offering a link to Japanese tea culture. Our name represents our dedication to preserving the rich heritage of matcha while inviting new audiences to experience its serenity and depth.
Our matcha is sourced from Shizuoka, Japan’s premier region for high-quality organic tea. This choice was made not only for Shizuoka’s reputation but also for its dedication to organic, sustainable practices.
Through an exclusive contract, we proudly hold the only right in the Middle East to import from these celebrated fields, ensuring an unmatched matcha experience for our customers.
We provide premium matcha sourced exclusively from Shizuoka to cafes and businesses across the region. Our four distinct grades are crafted to meet every need:
| Grade | Classification | Character |
