Matcha Forest
Who we are
At Matcha Forest, we believe everyone should be able to experience authentic Japanese matcha. Matcha is not just a trendy drink — it is a centuries-old tradition, a source of well-being, and a unique taste experience. Our goal is to bring the finest premium matcha from Uji, Kyoto directly to Dubai and the UAE, so tea lovers here can enjoy the quality and tradition that have defined Japanese tea culture for more than 800 years.
A word from our founder
“Every matcha story begins with one cup — for us, it was a cup of truly authentic Japanese matcha.”
Founder of Matcha Forest
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to share the true taste of matcha while preserving its history and culture. We strive to:
-
Deliver premium ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha directly from Japan.
-
Educate our community in the UAE about matcha’s health benefits, preparation rituals, and how to recognize authentic quality.
-
Inspire people to replace sugary, artificial drinks with something natural, nourishing, and energizing.
Through social media, workshops, and educational content, we help matcha lovers in the Emirates discover how to prepare delicious drinks at home — from classic usucha to modern matcha lattes.
Our values
- Quality & Care — Only authentic Japanese matcha of the highest standards, carefully selected in Uji, Kyoto.
- Well-being — Matcha can support focus, energy, and everyday balance. We want to make it a part of everyday life in the UAE.
- Authenticity — Every product reflects the spirit of Japanese tea culture, passed down for centuries.
What makes us unique
Matcha Forest is the exclusive partner of Yanoen Tea House from Uji, Japan, one of the most prestigious tea houses in the world. Thanks to this partnership, we import a wide range of matcha varieties directly from Kyoto — including rare ceremonial grades that are difficult to source, even within Japan.
This makes us not just a supplier, but a gateway to authentic Japanese tea culture across Dubai, the UAE, and the wider Gulf region.
