Matcha Catering for Any Event
-
Brand activations, employee wellness events, conferences, and product launches. Matcha positions your brand as thoughtful, premium, and health-conscious. Dual coffee+matcha bars maximize guest satisfaction across diverse preferences.

Make matcha the centerpiece of your activation. Custom drinks, branded cups, signage, and Cuzen's fresh-ground technology creates a memorable moment. Perfect for beauty brands, wellness launches, and lifestyle experiences
-
Matcha bar adds an unexpected, premium element to your wedding. Guests choose coffee or matcha. The hand-whisking ritual becomes a photo moment. Pairs beautifully with minimalist, modern, or zen-inspired aesthetics.
-
Small groups get hand-whisked matcha in a more personal setting. Larger groups (80+) can request the Cuzen Matcha Maker for faster service without sacrificing quality.

The Matcha We Use
Every matcha drink is whisked by hand at your event, not batched ahead.
-
Ceremonial grade is processed with care, finely ground, vibrant green, and naturally sweet. Uji has been growing matcha for centuries. The region's cool climate and misty afternoons create ideal conditions for shade-growing, which boosts the amino acids and chlorophyll that make ceremonial matcha special. When you taste Uji matcha, you're tasting the place, the skill, the tradition.
-
When we whisk matcha with a traditional bamboo whisk, it creates thousands of micro-bubbles. The powder suspends evenly, allowing the aromatics to fully release. You get a frothy crown, silky mouthfeel, and the full flavor of the matcha.
-
Your guests will notice the difference. Real matcha tastes clean and complex. It's an experience, not a chore to get through a sugary drink.
Hand-whisking takes time and don't rush it. For large events, we use the Cuzen Matcha Maker (see next section) to keep pace without cutting corners.
Our Partnership with Cuzen Matcha
Cuzen Matcha is the world's only matcha leaf grinding system. Their award-winning machine brings freshly-ground ceremonial matcha to your events. Each drink made from whole organic leaves on the spot.
What Makes Cuzen Matcha Different
-
The Cuzen Matcha Maker grinds whole matcha leaves fresh for each drink. Cuzen's ceramic mill grinds whole leaves fresh for every drink - replicating a traditional 130-pound granite stone mill in a countertop device. Your guests taste the difference: brighter color, more delicate flavor, full nutrient profile intact.
For your event, this is what makes service faster without sacrificing quality. Fresh matcha every time. Consistent whisking every time. Your guests get the real experience, even when we're serving dozens of drinks per hour.
-
We use Cuzen’s organic matcha leaves so that each guest's drink is made from leaves that arrived within weeks, not months. It's the same quality ceremony masters in Japan demand.
-
The machine whisks automatically while grinding. Guests watch fresh matcha swirl into jade green before their eyes. It's not just a drink; it's a moment of ritual your guests will remember and talk about.
For events with 80+ guests, we use the Cuzen Matcha Maker. It lets us keep lines short and every drink fresh.
For smaller groups (under 80), we hand-whisk everything.
Smaller groups can request the Cuzen setup as an add-on if you want the visual impact of the machine. Just let us know when you book.
Our Matcha Menu
The big 4
Dirty Matcha
Matcha meets bold. Vietnamese coffee topped with our house-made matcha cream foam for a a double energy boost.
Coco Matcha
Our house-made matcha cream foam tops thai coconut water. Creamy yet refreshing, this one’s especially made for those hot days
Matcha Latte
The classic matcha latte made with your choice of milk and sweetener (we like organic blue agave).
Matcha Americano
In Japan, matcha is typically whisked with hot water and consumed straight without milk or sugar, called usucha. This is that, but more.
