Premium Matcha Bar Catering for NYC Events
We bring a premium matcha bar experience to your event - whether it's a wedding, corporate activation, product launch, or private celebration. Pair it with coffee for dual-service appeal, or make matcha the centerpiece.
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.

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
