Welcome home, have you eaten? Take a seat ... the kettle’s on .
Matcha for you, me, friends, and family.
We welcome you to our collection of matcha that celebrates tea farmers in Japan. Homecoming Matcha’s curated lineup is inspired by the love language of Cantonese tea culture, synonymous with sharing a meal, taking care of one another, warm gatherings, honoring ritual, and, as ever, the feeling of home.
Hey, I’m Dee - I’m so happy you’re here! Homecoming Matcha has been wonderfully surreal (and delicious!) to work on, and I’m grateful to share it with you. I hope it sparks the magic and joy of a cozy moment, from my ‘home’ to yours.

Full guide and recipesHOW-TO MAKE MATCHA
🌞 BLOOM WHISK
Pour hot water over chasen (matcha whisk) to loosen and warm up the bamboo tines. This will help whisk up a smooth and frothy matcha.
🥄 MEASURE & SIFT
Sift 3-4g of matcha into your matcha bowl, or chawan.
For usucha, we recommend 2g. For koicha, we recommend 4g.
🫖 ADD WATER
In your chawan, pour in about 20ml or ¼ cup of hot, not boiling water (70-80 degrees Celcius). If you don’t have a temp-stable kettle, you’re all good - just cool boiling water for 5 minutes before using!
🪄 WHISK
In “z” motions, whisk the matcha and water together. Whisk gently and thoroughly to get rid of any clumps for a smooth tea, and you will see a layer of microfoam at the top. Gorg!
🍡 FINISH & ENJOY
Your matcha base is good to go! How you dress it up is up to you!
🍯 For a latte, pour over 110ml milk of choice, and add sweetener if you like it sweet. We like agave, honey, or maple syrup!
💧 For usucha, we recommend 60ml water.
🍵 For koicha, we recommend 30ml water.
✨ Enjoy hot or iced, and bonus with a sweet treat or wagashi!
