Looking for premium matcha in Hong Kong? Here's where to find the city's best ceremonial-grade matcha, stone-ground tea, and convenient options .
Hong Kong's matcha scene has grown fast over the past few years — from ceremonial-grade specialty cafés hand-whisking single-origin tea, to grab-and-go options for people who don't have twenty minutes to spare. Whether you're after a proper sit-down matcha ritual or something to take with you, here's where to find genuinely good matcha across the city.
Matchali — Hong Kong's Homegrown Matcha Specialist
Founded in 2020, Matchali was Hong Kong's first dedicated matcha store and remains one of the most trusted names in the city's scene. Its matcha is sourced directly from a fifth-generation tea farm in Uji, Kyoto — widely regarded as matcha's historic home. Beyond lattes, Matchali sells packaged matcha powder to take home, along with matcha-based dishes like smoothie bowls and green tea soba salad.
📍 Moon Street, Wan Chai & Lyndhurst Terrace, Central
Aokomi — Stone-Ground, Straight From the Source
Aokomi in Sai Ying Pun is Hong Kong's only stone-mill matcha café, grinding fresh tencha leaves in-house daily rather than using pre-ground powder. The tencha is imported directly from trusted Uji tea farms, and the café offers several grades of traditionally prepared matcha, including single-cultivar options.
📍 First Street, Sai Ying Pun
commaa — Minimalist, Art-Forward, Matcha-First
Tucked into a quiet corner of Sheung Wan, commaa blends a small art gallery with a matcha-focused menu — including different grades like daigyoku and traditional thin tea alongside more familiar lattes. It's a good pick if you want a calmer, more considered matcha experience.
📍 Po Yan Street, Sheung Wan
THE MATCHA TOKYO — For Consistency Across the City
With locations across Hong Kong, THE MATCHA TOKYO uses organic premium matcha and is a reliable choice if you want solid quality without needing to track down one specific specialty spot.
📍 Multiple locations citywide
NURA - If you are looking for something convenient
All of the spots above are well worth the trip if you have time for a proper matcha moment.But if you're heading into a lecture, running between meetings, or just don't have time to wait for a hand-whisked bowl, NURA is Hong Kong's first bottled prebiotic matcha ready-to-drink - real matcha, low sugar, no additives or preservatives, ready whenever you are.
NURA isn't trying to replace a ceremonial-grade sit-down experience. It's for the days you still want good matcha without the wait.
What's the difference between ceremonial-grade and culinary-grade matcha?
Ceremonial-grade matcha comes from the youngest, highest-quality tea leaves and is traditionally whisked with water alone. Culinary-grade matcha is typically used in lattes, baking, and desserts, where it's mixed with milk or sugar.
Can I buy matcha powder to make at home in Hong Kong?
Yes — several matcha cafés in the city, including Matchali, sell packaged matcha powder for home use in addition to serving drinks in-store.
Is there a convenient, ready-to-drink matcha option in Hong Kong?
Yes — NURA is Hong Kong's first prebiotic matcha RTD, offering real matcha with low sugar and no additives or preservatives in a grab-and-go can.
