Our history

Founded in 2018, Matcha Cafe Wakaba is more than a café it’s a gateway to authentic Japanese tea culture. Loved by the local community, our cafés embody the essence of Japan, offering premium matcha in warm, welcoming spaces that connect people through tradition.

Today, we proudly operate three locations, including related stores, sharing the true taste of Japan.

At Matcha Café Wakaba, we share the same dedication to quality as our tea brand WAKABA. From the organic tea leaves cultivated without chemical fertilizers or pesticides to the precision in every cup we serve, freshness and craftsmanship define everything we do.

Step into Matcha Café Wakaba and experience the taste of Japan. Rooted in tradition yet vibrant with the youthful spirit symbolized by our name, "WAKABA" (young leaves), we invite you to savor tea at its finest.

Our tea leaves

We use only authentic organic tea leaves grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides for our teas. These carefully cultivated leaves ensure the highest quality and deliver the true taste of Japanese tea culture in every cup.

Our commitment to purity and sustainability is reflected in every product whether it’s matcha, hojicha, or sencha. Experience the authentic taste of Japan with WAKABA.

Our Hojicha Powder

WAKABA Hojicha Powder is distinct from traditional varieties, crafted with a unique blend that includes premium tencha stems—the same shade-grown leaves used for high-grade matcha. This meticulous choice results in a refined aroma and a naturally sweet, mellow aftertaste that is rarely found in other roasted teas. Each scoop is an experience of umami and toasted goodness, perfect for creating smooth hojicha lattes, baking desserts, or simply enjoying a peaceful, low-caffeine moment.
