Heritage and Expertise
YŌKO vs
Crafting tea excellence since 1948 - more than just matcha, it's a legacy woven into every leaf. Our matcha carries the wisdom of generations, evident in every flavorful swirl.
THEM
They might claim to know matcha. but let's be real, they're about as japanese as a kangaroo.
Testing And Purity
YŌKO vs
The in-house lab is like matcha CSI, ensuring that what you sip is as pure as the first first snowfall. Conducting simultaneous analysis screenings for 200-300 types of residual pesticides, ensuring that your matcha is as clean as can be.
THEM
Their lab? it's probably busier mixing up excuses than testing matcha purity.
integrated process
YŌKO vs
We don't do the supply chain shuffle. From farm to froth, our matcha journey is a seamless waltz that leaves others tripping over their tangled steps.
THEM
They follow a supply chain dance that's less waltz, more cha-cha-cha. Good luck finding consistency in that salsa of sourcing.
Quality and Sourcing
YŌKO vs
Our matcha is sourced directly from the tea wonderland of Shizuoka, Japan
THEM
They might as well be sourcing from the matcha-mart down the street.

Frequently asked questions
Can culinary matcha be used for lattes?
Yes. It is especially well suited to sweetened lattes and blended drinks because its stronger profile stays present with milk and sweetener. Choose ceremonial matcha for a smoother, matcha-forward or unsweetened drink.
Where is this matcha grown?
It is grown in the Hon-Yama area of Shizuoka, Japan, and made from the Yabukita cultivar.
Is it suitable for drinking with water?
It can be used that way, but it is not designed for traditional preparation or straight drinking. For whisking with water, choose ceremonial grade.
How should I store a 500g bag?
Keep it sealed, cool, dry and protected from light, heat, moisture and strong odors. Close the bag promptly after each use.
Who is the 500g format for?
It is designed for bakeries, cafés, dessert shops, food brands and commercial kitchens that use matcha regularly and need a consistent wholesale format.
Do you provide free samples?
No. We do not provide free samples. The 500g culinary bag is available as the wholesale purchase format shown on this page.
