We’ve been using organic premium grade matcha since our inception and now sell it under our @teapeopleus brand. Believe it or not, we are now one of the largest organic premium grade matcha buyers in the country. The matcha we sell as Tea People is the same matcha we use in all stores. You can find it on TeaPeople.com or in select stores.
So with that, some pro tips below. This was written by us (not ChatGPT is ever used on our TED Talks):
1) Matcha is grounded green tea (technically, it can also be black tea). We consume the entire leaf hence all those famous antioxidant properties.
2) We grade matcha by four vectors: color, origin, touch, and taste. You want bright, vibrant, natural leafy greens (ie the chlorophyll). The better the quality, the fresher the taste— almost umami. If you put it between your fingers, it’ll feel like silk when you rub it.
3) Lastly, all this talk about ceremonial grade matcha. If you ask real tea experts, most premium cafes DO NOT use ceremonial grade matcha. Real ceremonial grade matcha is so pure (and expensive), it’s almost blasphemous to put milk and sugar in it. In the West, we like the way it sounds but it’s technically wrong. We’ve participated in countless matcha tea ceremonies and source our own teas— it’s something tea masters in Japan want to correct. We’ve been doing this well over a decade so it’s something we want to clear up for the public. But hey, it’s good for branding which is why so many cafes say it.
Thanks for coming to a matcha TED Talk from a boba company. 😅🫡
By popular request, we finally combined two flavors you all crave… matcha and chocolate. 😋 We still wanted to create something unique so we decided to make the matcha portion a cloud foam. The cloud foam still uses 100% organic premium grade matcha from @teapeopleus .
As for taste profile? Hm… our team says it’s matcha forward and chocolate backward. Not really sure what that means but it sounds foodie so we promised we’d get their contribution into the caption. Enjoy! 🍵🍫
Our @teapeopleus Matcha Kit is ready for the new year.
It comes with a traditional bamboo whisk (takayama chasen) and holder, ceramic matcha bowl, fine sieve, and premium organic matcha. It’s everything you need for the perfect matcha at home. 🍵
Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. We are @teapeopleus , premium tea company with a modern twist. 🫖
Yes, we use Tea People in all Boba Guys stores but we also serve our teas across dozens of other cafes around the country.

Summer days continue here in the Bay! I’ve always wanted to make my own lychee iced tea so here we are.
If you have a blender, blending your lychee, lychee juice, and some sweetener to create a quick lychee puree could make for more of a Lychee Tea Fresca a la Boba Guys.
