Matcha Love
For about as long as there has been human civilization, there has been tea. Matcha tea has its origins in China and Japan, where it is still renowned for its great taste and numerous health benefits.
The History of Matcha Love
Matcha Love is a line of matcha products from Ito En, one of the leading tea companies in Japan. Originally known as the Frontier Tea Corporation, Ito En was founded in 1966 by the Honjo family. In 1969, the company took the leap from tea specialty shops to storefronts across Japan when they pioneered a new vacuum-processed packaging method. This system allowed them to sell their tea in small quantities without sacrificing quality.
In 2002, Ito En launched a North American office to sell their leaves, enhancing the appreciation of and market for authentic Japanese green teas across the continent.
Matcha Love Company Mission
Matcha Love and Ito En are dedicated to bringing ready-to-drink, high-quality matcha tea to a new audience in America. Matcha tea’s popularity transcends all ages and demographics in Japan, as the product is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
Everything that Ito En sells is created with quality and ancient tradition in mind. They form relationships with farmers across Japan to ensure the continuity of tea harvesting. They also support environmentally conscious agriculture through a partnership with the Tea-Producing Region Development Project. Respecting the planet isn’t just the right thing to do - it creates stability for growers, so that people can enjoy great tea for generations to come.
