Ethical Practices
Ohayo Modern Matcha sources its matcha directly from trusted Japanese tea farmers who use traditional, organic cultivation methods and prioritise soil health. The matcha is certified organic by JAS, ensuring no synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers are used. The main farm is a family-run business with decades of experience. The brand maintains close relationships with growers for transparency and traceability. Products are entirely plant-based and cruelty-free and the brand is female-founded, valuing respect, inclusivity and flexibility in the workplace.
Sustainable Practices
Ohayo sources certified organic ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers, supporting soil health and biodiversity. The brand works with producers and families who use traditional growing methods and prioritise long-term land care. Its matcha is currently packaged in highly recyclable tin, with plans to transition all external packaging to biodegradable or compostable materials. Supporting local animal welfare organisations is a future goal as the brand becomes financially sustainable.
Social Impact
Ohayo sources matcha from family-run Japanese tea farms, supporting global communities and traditional farming practices. The brand plans to give back to local animal welfare organisations and not-for-profits as it grows, reflecting the founder’s experience with animal charities. Future initiatives include creating flexible employment opportunities for mothers and carers and fostering an inclusive, supportive workplace culture that values empathy, balance and long-term wellbeing.
Product Reviews by Experts
As a daily matcha drinker, I absolutely loved this one. The colour is a beautifully vibrant green, which always feels like a good sign, and the flavour is smooth, earthy and naturally fresh without being too bitter. It has that lovely ceremonial matcha quality, with gentle grassy notes, a soft sweetness and a clean, steady energy that makes it perfect for a morning ritual. It feels pure, calming and beautifully made, and I would happily drink it every day. I really liked the brand’s approach because it feels small, honest and genuinely values-led. There is a lot of care in the way the matcha is sourced, with a focus on quality, organic growing and respectful relationships with the farmers behind it. I also appreciate that the brand is still young but already thinking carefully about packaging, waste and future ways to give back. Overall it feels thoughtful and personal, with a strong foundation for growing in a responsible way.
I love a good matcha – and OHAYO’s is best in class: organically grown using traditional familial farming methods. The packaging matches the simple, but beautiful, high quality ingredients inside. I want to get the whole set of OHAYO’s offerings because they look so good on the kitchen bench (no doubt they won’t last long). Ohayo is a wonderful example of a cultural fusion executed with the highest levels of respect. With matcha organically grown and stone-ground in Japan, then packaged with care in Australia by the founder, OHAYO offers a premium Japanese matcha experience with the slow and small-scale of a local business. I really appreciate the acknowledgement of taking care of soil health and supporting family farms from which they source ingredients from.
This is a beautiful matcha with a smooth finish. I drink matcha daily and was impressed by the taste and consistency – and the vibrant colour. Impressed by the commitment to sourcing quality alongside sustainability. I also appreciate the thought into packaging with the tins and future directions here for minimising waste.
