our matcha values
at nanika, we believe your matcha should lift you as much as the moment itself. we focus on three essentials: sourcing with care, crafting with precision, and delivering it fresh to you.
// sourcing
for us, sourcing is partnership. our ceremonial matcha comes from japan’s historic regions of izumo, uji, and kagoshima, each shaped by centuries of craft.
our blends bring together organic mint, flavors of chocolate and vanilla from japan, organic tumeric and organic ginger from vietnam and organic cinnamon from sri lanka.
// crafting
crafting matcha begins long before the grind. tea plants are shaded to deepen color and umami, harvested at their peak, then steamed, dried, and deveined into delicate tencha. slowly milled, they become the vibrant powder in your cup. every step is patient, precise, and rooted in tradition — carrying the spirit of the harvest and the care of its makers.
// the final step
the final step in the journey is bringing our matcha from the fields of japan to your hands.
we have each tin weighed, sealed, and packed in japan before being shipped to our base in alexandria, va.
whether whisked in a quiet morning or stirred into a latte with friends, matcha is more than a drink - it’s a way to pause, connect, and share something meaningful.

I didn’t think I’d be into hojicha, but this one surprised me. It’s roasty, smooth, and super comforting. Its the perfect wind me down.

The mint matcha is so refreshing. It’s clean, bright, and uplifting. I’ve been making lattes with it almost every day. It has this natural coolness that makes it feel instantly revitalizing.

I’d never heard of matcha from Izumo before, so I gave it a try. The flavor has this depth to it, kind of rich, but still balanced with a gentle sweetness. It feels special, like I discovered a little hidden gem.
