宇治·FROM UJI · KYOTO
From a Uji tea housetwo hundred years in.
We work with one tea house in Uji. They've been making matcha for over two hundred years. Each batch is milled at their mill, then flown to London where we pack weekly. Every tin opens within weeks of milling.
Hikari changed how I think about matcha. Smoother than anything I tried in Kyoto.
Sarah O. · London · on Hikari
Smooth and creamy matcha, great with just water or made as a latte. Has an authentic flavour and isn't bitter at all.
E.S.P · UK · on Shōgun
A really lovely mellow Hōjicha, roasted and nutty taste which froths up beautifully to make it creamy and satiating with every sip.
Fahm · UK · on Hōjicha
Really nice whisk, good quality and makes a really nice froth when whisking the matcha.

BOWLS · KIYOMIZU WARE · KYOTO
Hand-thrown, hand-glazed, hand-painted.
Our bowls are made by T. Nishikawa & Co., a century-old Kiyomizu Ware kiln in Kyoto. Each piece is shaped by hand and finished with layered glazes that create keshiki, a landscape of colour drawn from Kyoto's seasons.
It started in Kyoto.With a matcha I couldn't find in London.
During my time travelling in Japan, I stumbled across a small family-run tea shop in Kyoto. A hundred years old, selling only the finest matcha, made from the finest tencha.
The family invited me in to try their matcha. It was nothing like anything I'd had at home. I knew straight away it was too good not to share with the world.
That trip is what led me to start Raku Matcha. To bring the same authentic taste of Japan to matcha lovers, new and old.
