Matcheologist. The Japanese matcha taking the world by storm.

Meet Matchæologist (抹茶オロジスト): an artisanal matcha specialist born from a founder's journey into Japan's tea culture, who trained as a monk in Uji before dedicating himself to preserving its centuries old craftsmanship. Today, Matchæologist works closely with matcha sommeliers and craftsmen in Kyoto to define the ultimate matcha ritual experience, growing every leaf in Uji, the world famous terroir long considered the ultimate ground for matcha cultivation. Each batch is artisan roasted in small quantities using proprietary techniques, more akin to fine wine than fast tea, treating matcha not as a drink but as a ceremony worth doing properly.

Grown in Uji, the world-famous terroir long considered the ultimate ground for matcha cultivation, Meiko is Matchæologist's best-selling, most-reviewed ceremonial matcha across the US and Europe. Well balanced and versatile, with green bean, salted caramel and elderflower notes that make it easy to reach for every day.

Harper ★★★★★

The first time I opened the tin, the aroma reminded me of the fresh, grassy scent I remember from a tea farm I visited near Kyoto. The powder is so fine it practically dissolves with just a few whisks, and the color is a brilliant, vivid green that makes you think it was picked yesterday.

Edward C. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about spending this much on matcha, but the deep, almost creamy umami flavor makes it worth every penny. I've been using it for my morning tea, and the vivid green color tells me it's high-quality stuff.

Robert ★★★★☆

The powder is incredibly fine and dissolves smoothly with just a bamboo whisk—no clumps at all. It has a rich, savory taste with just a hint of sweetness that’s perfect for morning lattes. Only giving it 4 stars because I wish the tin were a bit bigger for the price.
