We're in Good Company : Canadian Matcha Brands Worth Knowing in 2025

When Daniel and Madison first arrived in Canada, they were struck by how difficult it was to find high quality Matcha, the kind that balances umami depth with creamy sweetness, without bitterness or grittiness. That search led them to create Matcha Dive, but it also gave them a deep appreciation for the few Canadian brands that share their standards.

So, what even is good Matcha?

For us, authentic Matcha will always be Japanese. Though its origins trace back to China, it was in Japan that Matcha evolved into the revered, artisanal product we know today, and where our own farm in Shizuoka continues this centuries old tradition.

You’ll often see the term “Ceremonial Grade”, a label that isn’t exactly regulated. To us, it’s a commitment to intentionality at every stage, from harvest to tin. The Japanese concept of shokunin (the pursuit of mastery) guides our process, and we respect the brands below who share that ethos, whether they use the ceremonial label or not.

Let’s be honest, nothing kills a Matcha high like a surprise customs fee. That’s why every brand here ships from within Canada. No border drama, no hidden charges, just pure, uncomplicated green bliss landing on your doorstep.
