Its matcha is sourced from dedicated family farms in Shizuoka Prefecture, an area renowned for producing some of Japan’s finest tea. There, growers cultivate the leaves with patience, precision, and generations of inherited knowledge.
This careful approach results in matcha that is vibrant and expressive, with a clear aroma, rich depth, and distinct character. Every cup served at Chotto Matcha reflects not only premium ingredients, but also the people and heritage behind them.

One of its best-sellers is the Hanami Dango Matcha Latte, a matcha latte topped with three kinds of small Japanese rice dumplings, or dango, making it a charming cherry blossom-inspired treat.

At its core, Chotto Matcha offers more than beautifully prepared matcha drinks. It presents an experience grounded in tradition, craftsmanship, and the simple idea that a cup of tea can create a moment of peace in one’s day.
In the Philippines, Chotto Matcha has built a distinct presence through branches in Forbes Town, BGC; Little Tokyo, Makati; and Park Triangle, BGC, while also operating in Asakusa, Tokyo.
Beyond its tea offerings, Chotto Matcha also serves a selection of pastries and light bites that pair well with its various matcha drinks. Among the recommended savory options is the Tuna Croissant, filled with flavorful tuna and balanced seasoning, making it a satisfying companion to the café’s richer and more refreshing matcha creations.
