Portable matcha sticks are making traditional Japanese matcha easier to enjoy outside the home as More Than Matcha introduces individually packaged servings of its organic ceremonial-grade powder. The travel-friendly format eliminates the need for measuring equipment, allowing consumers to maintain their daily matcha routines while traveling, commuting, or working.
Each stick contains two grams of matcha sourced from Kagoshima, Japan, using first-harvest tea leaves that are shade-grown and freshly ground. Consumers can prepare their drinks by emptying a packet into a cup or bowl and mixing it with water. The powder can also be used for iced matcha and lattes, offering flexibility across different preferences.
For More Than Matcha, the convenient format expands opportunities for everyday consumption beyond traditional home preparation. Pre-portioned servings also make the product more approachable for beginners while maintaining the brand's established matcha quality.
