MATCHA DIRECT Launches Decaf Matcha, a Health-Oriented Decaffeinated Matcha for the US Market

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MATCHA DIRECT is a matcha brand that Tsuji Riichi Honten Co.,Ltd., which has run the tea manufacturing business in Kyoto, Japan, for over 160 years, has developed in partnership with Kataoka & Co., Ltd. for the US market. It has developed a new product, Decaf Matcha, that lets users enjoy matcha without worrying about caffeine content and has released Decaf Matcha on its online shop starting December 2023.

Decaf Matcha from MATCHA DIRECT is using a modern process of decaffeination with supercritical carbon dioxide that does not diminish the authentic flavor of matcha. While reducing caffeine content to that of 8-ounce decaf coffee*, our Decaf Matcha retains nearly 100% of catechins (flavanols), the functional nutrients of matcha. For those who concerned about caffeine intake, please rest assured that you can enjoy delicious matcha at any time.

*Caffeine content per serving (2 g of matcha): 4 mg to 8 mg

Although matcha’s delicate nature and susceptibility to deterioration make decaffeination difficult, MATCHA DIRECT has successfully developed satisfying decaf matcha using the knowledge, experience, and tea selection techniques cultivated over its long history. Like all other MATCHA DIRECT products, we provide Decaf Matcha as Ground-To-Order.

Through the debut of Decaf Matcha, we hope a broader range of customers than ever before will enjoy matcha. MATCHA DIRECT continues to lead the market with innovative matcha products while preserving the traditional goodness of matcha.
