I’ve been in love with matcha since 2014, long before it was everywhere. In 2025, a last-minute trip to Tokyo changed everything. Cherry blossoms appearing as I landed. The clearest view of snow-capped Mount Fuji. The best matcha of my life (before Raphah) in a quiet street in Asakusa that I’ll treasure forever. Crying on the last day because I could feel something fundamental had shifted inside me. My path had been set.<\/p>

Coming home to the United Kingdom, I realised I couldn’t go back to weak lattes and half-hearted grassy matcha. If that magic didn’t exist here, I’d create it myself.<\/p>

With over a decade of brand and marketing experience at leading beauty brands and retailers, I knew how to build something people connect with. Raphah is the result: exceptional Okumidori matcha, beautiful design, and the belief that ritual and small moments of magic matter.<\/p>

The magic is in you. I’m just here to provide exceptional matcha.<\/p>

How should I store my matcha to keep it fresh? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

Keep your matcha in its airtight container in a cool, dark place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. For optimal freshness once opened, storing it in the refrigerator is recommended.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Does Raphah matcha contain caffeine? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, ceremonial grade matcha contains natural caffeine. However, because it also contains L-theanine, the caffeine is absorbed slowly by the body, providing clean, sustained energy and calm focus without the jitters or afternoon crash associated with coffee.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Do I need a bamboo whisk (chasen) to prepare it? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

While a traditional bamboo whisk is the best tool to achieve that velvety froth and smooth consistency, you can also use an electric milk frother or a tightly sealed shaker bottle as an alternative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
