A Modern Ritual Inspired by Tradition

I grew up in Japan, surrounded by quiet, mindful moments. The soft sound of water boiling, the gentle whisking of matcha, the calm pause before the first sip. These simple rituals created a sense of stillness I carried with me, even when I live away from Japan.

Daylight Matcha is my way of sharing the peaceful moments with the world. A modern ritual rooted in tradition, crafted to make daily life feel a little brighter, a little softer, and a little more intentional.

From Uji, Kyoto With Care

Our selection of the finest quality tea is sourced directly from Uji, Kyoto, a region celebrated for its centuries of tea cultivation. Each harvest is carefully stone-milled to preserve its color, aroma, and delicate flavor. Every tin is crafted capturing the essence of these exceptional leaves, so that every sip can be a small, mindful moment in your day.
