Before you choose, understand matcha.
Matcha can be simple, but the difference between grades, origins, and applications can change the whole drinking experience.
What is matcha?
Matcha is shaded-grown tea, ground into a fine powder. Instead of steeping tea leaves and removing them, matcha is whisked directly into water or milk.
Why is everyone obsessed?
Matcha is loved for its layered taste, smooth energy, beautiful green colour, and versatility. It can be prepared traditionally, made into lattes, used in desserts, or built into modern café menus.

Matcha questions, answered.
Which Davon matcha is best for latte?
For premium café latte, No.3 or No.4 are strong options. For daily business use, Tenzo, No.5, or Midori may be more practical depending on your menu cost and customer profile.
Which matcha is the most premium?
Ryū and Getsu are Davon’s flagship matcha range. They are positioned for customers who want the most premium matcha experience, whether for drinking, gifting, or refined daily use.
Which matcha is best for business use?
Tenzo, No.5, and Midori are classic matcha options that are more practical for café operations. No.5 is especially suitable for business menus, milk-based drinks, flavoured matcha latte, and bakery applications.
How should I store matcha?
Store matcha in an airtight container, away from heat, sunlight, moisture, and strong odours. After opening, keep it tightly sealed and use it as soon as possible for the best colour, aroma, and taste. For better freshness, refrigerated storage is recommended, but allow the container to return to room temperature before opening to reduce condensation.
Why does matcha taste different between batches?
Matcha is made from tea leaves, so it is a natural agricultural product. Slight differences in taste, colour, aroma, bitterness, umami, and sweetness can happen between batches due to harvest timing, growing conditions, tea leaf characteristics, processing, grinding, freshness, and storage. This is normal for natural tea products.
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
Yes. For larger-volume matcha enquiries, please contact Davon for Biz or speak with our sales team.
