From the café
A little rikyū.
In your own kitchen.
Some days it’s a slowly whisked bowl. Others, an iced latte on the way out. We wanted a collection with room for both.
Our first retail release brings together three Japanese matchas from Uji and Kagoshima, each with its own character. The idea is simple: choose by what you enjoy drinking, not by how complicated the label sounds.
Pre-ordering helps us size this first allocation carefully. You receive introductory pricing, and we can plan the release around the cups you want to make.
The café is in Palo Alto. Your next cup can be anywhere.
Find your matcha
Three distinct characters.
Reserve
Deep umami with a long, lingering finish. Our choice for a bowl whisked with water, when you want to give the matcha your full attention.
Signature
Bright and balanced, with enough character to return to every day. A versatile place to start, whether you prefer it whisked or with milk.
Muse
Gently nutty and smooth. An easygoing choice for a daily latte, hot or iced, without losing the character of the tea.
First-release prices shown; crossed-out prices are planned after the pre-sale, not prices previously charged. Payment is collected at checkout.
On the shelf
Three colours. One collection.
Navy for Reserve, white for Signature, moss for Muse. Each keeps the same rikyū symbol and wordmark, with the matcha name and origin beneath. Quiet enough to leave out on the counter; distinct enough to reach for the right one.
Estimated dispatch or pickup in early to mid-November, subject to supplier confirmation. Shipping transit time is additional. We’ll email updates and a pickup-ready notice.
$9 shipping within the contiguous United States. Free pickup at rikyū in Palo Alto.
A few things to know.
How do I prepare it?
Sift 2 g into a bowl, add a little 175°F water, and whisk until frothy. Add milk for a latte. Start there, then adjust the amount of matcha to suit your cup.
How should I store it?
Keep sealed, cool and away from light. After opening, close tightly and enjoy within about a month.
What are the shipping options?
Standard shipping is $9 per order within the contiguous United States. Café pickup in Palo Alto is free. For pickup, please wait for your ready email.
Can you help me choose?
Email us or ask next time you’re at the café.
When will I be charged?
Payment is collected when you place your pre-order. The tea and finished packaging are still being prepared, so this is not an immediate-fulfillment purchase.
What if plans change?
Cancellation and refund terms will be available before pre-orders open. Questions in the meantime? Email info@rikyucafe.com.
