about matcha dachi
our mission
Our mission is to make authentic Japanese matcha accessible, portable, and meaningful—wherever life takes you. We blend premium quality, thoughtful design, and cultural storytelling to create matcha moments for young professionals and tea enthusiasts seeking ritual and connection in their daily routines.
Our Story
Matcha Dachi began as a way to bridge Japanese tradition and American innovation—honoring family roots and forging new paths for matcha lovers everywhere. Founded by Marisa, a Japanese American with deep ties to Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, the brand draws inspiration from generations of Japanese American farmers who helped shape both communities. Marisa's great-grandparents started a farm market in Utah, while her journey led her across the Pacific to connect with tea artisans and family businesses in Japan. Matcha Dachi is the result: a brand devoted to sharing quality matcha, cultural stories, and moments of calm in everyday life.
from salt lake to la
We call both Salt Lake City and Los Angeles home. These cities reflect our spirit—rooted in tradition yet always looking forward. Salt Lake City’s legacy of Japanese American farmers and LA’s vibrant multicultural energy both shape our approach to community and connection. Our story is shaped by the work and resilience of Japanese American farmers who built new lives and supported their communities in both Utah and California. Their ingenuity and care for the land inspire how we source, prepare, and share matcha today—from farm to cup, and across generations.
Supporting Asian American Creators
We believe in celebrating and championing Asian American creativity across our brand. From our visual identity and packaging to our website and product design, Matcha Dachi actively collaborates with Asian American artists and designers. If you are interested in working with us, please reach out!
