Enjoy Authentic Uji Matcha, Anytime You Want
For tea lovers everywhere, the words “Uji, Kyoto” mean the absolute best in Japanese matcha. That deep, rich flavor and bright green color are the result of centuries of tradition. But if you’re sensitive to caffeine or love a cup of matcha in the evening, the natural caffeine can be a problem.
That’s why MATCHA DIRECT, a global brand from the historic, 160-year-old tea maker TSUJI RIICHI HONTEN, created the perfect solution: #051 Decaf Matcha. This incredible product brings together Uji’s famous quality and modern technology to deliver a true matcha experience, without the caffeine.
How We Gently Remove the Caffeine
The secret to our #051 Decaf Matcha is our advanced decaffeination process. We use a state-of-the-art technology called “supercritical carbon dioxide,” which is the same gentle method trusted to decaffeinate the world’s best coffee beans. This process carefully lifts the caffeine from our precious first-harvest tea leaves.
This method is amazing because it targets only the caffeine, leaving behind everything that makes matcha special. The caffeine level is dramatically reduced from over 3% to less than 0.4%. That means a typical 2g serving has only 4-8mg of caffeine, so you can relax and enjoy a cup any time of day.
Do I Still Get the Flavor and Health Benefits?
Yes, absolutely! The supercritical CO2 process is so precise that the amazing flavor and health benefits of our matcha are almost 100% preserved.
💚 Catechins: The powerful antioxidants that matcha is famous for are still there.
💚 L-Theanine: The unique amino acid that gives you that feeling of calm, focused energy is fully present.
This means you still get the rich umami taste, smooth texture, and wellness benefits of a ceremonial-grade matcha, just without the caffeine buzz.
Real Matcha, Straight from Uji, Kyoto
At MATCHA DIRECT, we are passionate about quality. The entire journey of our matcha—from growing and harvesting the leaves to decaffeination and grinding—happens right here in Japan. Our #051 Decaf Matcha is ceremonial grade and made only from the first harvest, ensuring a pure, clean taste with no bitterness.
Our tea masters note that the process can cause a tiny change in color, but our customers don’t seem to mind! With a 4.7 out of 5-star rating, reviewers praise its excellent taste, great quality, and smooth texture.
The MATCHA DIRECT Difference
While our brand is famous for its “Ground-to-Order” service, please note that this feature doesn’t apply to our decaf matcha due to the extra decaffeination step.
