Our namesake is made to bridge East & West, recognizing Asian-Pacific history, effort, & culture. We work to highlight the farmers & stories that bring health to the world.
Our mission is to connect people with award-winning Japanese heritage farms so that both may benefit from health & success.

As the director of Orijin Matcha, I am dedicated to exploring health & wellness through many forms. While working on farms around the world, I continued to keep an eye on what factors played a part in vitality & longevity: Blue Zones, superfoods, and many more. At the time of writing this, I have studied the health benefits of premium green tea for 15 years.
I feel there could be more efforts to provide transparency after answering questions for others - what are the different types of green teas? What are the red flags? Why is matcha an old concept but only now becoming popularized?
This became a path based on seeking answers as both teacher & student.
Orijin Matcha was founded to share this journey.
