Japanese manufacturer HARIO expanded into ceremonial matcha with the launch of its 'Organic Ceremonial Matcha,' marking the brand’s first entry into packaged tea products.
Developed for the U.S. market and USDA Organic certified, HARIO's matcha is crafted from high-quality green tea leaves sourced from Kagoshima and Shizuoka. The blend uses seasonally cultivated tea leaves for peak freshness, delivering a smooth, balanced flavor with minimal bitterness. It reflects traditional matcha preparation while remaining suitable for daily use. This release builds on HARIO's existing tea and coffee equipment lineup, pairing its equipment with branded consumable products.
As demand for high-quality organic matcha continues to grow, equipment brands are expanding into the consumables space to create more integrated user experiences.
