The Origin

A Rising Star: Organic Matcha from Kagoshima

Directly Sourced. Exceptional Quality.

While Kyoto holds the tradition, Kagoshima represents the exciting future of Japanese tea. As one of Japan’s most dynamic tea regions, Kagoshima has emerged as a premier origin for high-quality organic matcha.

We work intimately with local producers to source exceptional, rare-batch organic matcha directly from the farm. By cutting out the middleman and basing our operations in Los Angeles, we ensure that the freshest harvest reaches your whisk without the international wait.

The Terroir

Forged by Volcanoes, Refined by Nature

Nutrient-Rich Soil & Pure Mountain Water

Kagoshima’s landscape is defined by its active volcanoes, which have gifted the region with nutrient-dense, mineral-rich soil—the perfect "terroir" for vibrant tea leaves.

Irrigated by pristine mountain water and harvested at the peak of flavor, this unique environment produces a matcha with a striking emerald color, a silky-smooth texture, and a beautifully balanced umami. It is this raw natural power that gives Luna Matcha its distinctive, clean character.

The Craft

140 Years of Heritage Meets Modern LA

Masterfully Crafted for Your Daily Ritual

Our matcha is developed in collaboration with a respected Japanese Tea Master and a heritage tea estate with over 140 years of expertise.

By marrying generations of craftsmanship with Kagoshima’s bold volcanic profile, we have created an authentic matcha designed for both the mindful morning ceremony and the modern creative lifestyle. Every batch reflects a deep dedication to quality, balance, and the timeless art of Japanese tea.

The Local Connection

From the Volcanic Fields of Kagoshima to Your Cup in Los Angeles.

While our roots are in Japan, our home is right here in West LA. We believe in the power of local community and the trust that comes with a physical presence.

You can find Luna Matcha at Lune Noir, a curated Japanese lifestyle boutique located in the heart of Sawtelle Boulevard’s "Little Osaka." Nestled among historic temples, traditional Japanese eateries, and vibrant local culture, our presence in this iconic neighborhood ensures that you aren't just buying matcha—you’re joining a local tea community.

Whether you're shopping online for fast US domestic shipping or visiting us in person on Sawtelle, we bring the freshest harvest from Kagoshima’s volcanic soil directly to your doorstep.
