Hiroshima, Japan / Since the 1950s
A life devoted to the depth of matcha.
For more than 70 years, Cha-no-wa has brought together exceptional Uji matcha, expert palates and Japanese confectionery craft.
Our heritage
Tea knowledge, carried forward.
Cha-no-wa began as a specialist tea house in Hiroshima. That foundation still guides every decision: the source of the leaf, the intensity of the blend and the way matcha should remain present long after the first taste.
Today, we express that knowledge through sweets, tea and gifts that feel contemporary while remaining unmistakably Japanese in their care and restraint.

Chosen by one of Japan’s foremost tea appraisers.
Haruhide Morita selects and blends Cha-no-wa’s Uji matcha for clarity, fragrance and lasting depth. His nationally recognised expertise helps each confection retain the character of premium tea, rather than simply its colour.
