Whole leaf
Matcha is finely milled green tea, whisked into your drink rather than steeped and removed.
Our story
A little room
for a fresh start.
When life feels full, small rituals can make a little space. Shigatsu is Japanese matcha for those everyday moments — at home, at the café, and wherever you find your own tone.
四月
Shigatsu / April
The feeling behind the name
April, in a cup.
Shigatsu means April in Japanese. To us, it brings to mind fresh beginnings, softer light and small things coming into bloom.
That is the feeling we want to bring to a familiar ritual: a favourite glass, a few unhurried minutes, and something that feels like your own.
The matcha we choose
Rooted in Japan.
Made for real life.
Our current collection brings together two Japanese origins: Kumamoto and Yame. Each matcha has its own character, and both are selected with milk in mind.
For us, a good daily matcha belongs in the drinks you already love — an iced latte, a warm cup, or a café ritual you look forward to.
