What is matcharl?
Starts with a simple question:
“Do you have matcha?”
In Japanese, that’s “Matcha Aru?”
(抹茶ある？)
That’s where our name comes from.
Matcharl also means
“We’ve got matcha” in Japanese
But not just any matcha.
At Matcharl, we source our tea leaves directly from Japan, ensuring traceability from farm to cup.
Every scoop tells a story — of clean soil, traditional craftsmanship, and generations of care.
