01 /A closer connection
Good tea deserves
a shorter distance.
Not just where tea comes from.
Everything it takes to get here.
Matdori sources directly from gardens and mills in Japan, imports under its own name, and brings Japanese tea to cafés, restaurants and partners across the United States.
Through Ocha Club, we connect that work to the people who pour it. Fewer handoffs. A clearer conversation. A better everyday cup.
Our approach02 / The tea collection
A character
for every cup.
Three expressions of Japanese tea.
One thoughtful place to begin.

03 / The way we work
The long way
is the right way.
Tea is the beginning. The relationships,
the care, the follow-through — that is our work.
01At the garden.
We buy directly from gardens and mills in Japan, keeping the conversation close to the people behind the tea.
02Across the ocean.
Matdori manages the import relationship, connecting the Japanese source to our work in the United States.
03Behind your counter.
Through Ocha Club, we supply cafés, restaurants and partners, with a conversation about the tea and the menu it is meant for.
04 / For the people who pour
茶Ocha Club.
Exceptional tea.
A partner on your side of the counter.
For your first matcha latte, your next opening,
or a tea program ready for something better.

05 / Notes from Matdori
A little closer.
A few things we return to.
At the source. At the table.
01 / Our approach
More than a place on a label.
Why the conversation starts at the source.
02 / For cafés
Start with the cup you want to serve.
A clearer brief makes a better tea conversation.
03 / Everyday tea
Make a little room for tea.
Not another occasion. A better everyday moment.
More than a place on a label.
For us, origin is the beginning of a conversation, not the end of a description. We keep the conversation close to the tea: what it is, how it is intended to be used, and which details matter to the people who will serve it.
Discuss our approachMake a little room for tea.
A cup you enjoy and a simple way to make it. A place to put down your phone. Someone to share it with. The ritual does not need to be more complicated than that.
